President of the African Development Bank, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina has said he never talked about running for president of Nigeria when he granted an interview to popular television station, Arise TV
Adesina’s clarification is coming after some sections of the country’s media reported that he wants to contest for the top job in 2027
The former minister of agriculture explained on X that “A segment of my recent interview on @ARISEtv has been both misinterpreted and misrepresented in several Nigerian media outlets.
What I said was, “I will be available to serve in any capacity, globally, in Africa, anywhere, including my own country.”
For clarity and for the record, I did not say that I am running for the office of President of Nigeria.
