He said this during a courtesy call on the Ogun state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun in Abeokuta.

He added that his emergence as AfDB president would serve as a beacon of hope to Africa and Nigeria, pointing out that his emergence would open a new vista in the developmental drives of the continent.
