    My Interview Misinterpreted, I Didn’t Say I Will Run For President In 2027 – Adesina

    President of African Development Bank (AfDB), Dr Akinwumi Adesina, has denied nursing an ambition to run for president in 2027.

    This follows a recent interview on Arise TV, where he was questioned about his political future after his tenure at the AfDB.

    Responding to the question, Adesina said: “I will be available to serve in any capacity, globally, in Africa, anywhere, including in my own country, Nigeria.”

    The outgoing AfDB Presidents’ remarks generated widespread interpretations that he was subtly declaring interest in the 2027 presidential race.

    However, Adesina while addressing the issue in a Post X on Thursday, said what he said during the interview was misinterpreted by media outlets.  He also encouraged people to go and listen to the interview to confirm what he actually said.

    He wrote: “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.”

    “A listen to the substantive and robust interview, which is available online (youtu.be/xgyDRnBWWcY?si…), will show this to be the case. For clarity and for the record, I did not say that I am running for the office of President of Nigeria,” Adesina said.
