Obasanjo, Buhari Make Brilliant Defence For Nigeria In Paris
Former Nigerian Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Muhammadu Buhari have put up a brilliant defence for Nigeria before the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Paris, France, in an alleged breach of contract case against the federal government concerning the Mambilla Power Project.
A firm, Sunrise Power, had instituted a $2.3 billion arbitration case against the federal government, claiming that the country had defaulted in its contractual obligations to the company.
But Sunrise Power’s defence and efforts to secure an award against Nigeria in the arbitration proceedings at the ICC may have suffered a setback during the ongoing hearings in Paris as its witnesses failed to appear to testify.
According to sources, Obasanjo and Buhari, known for speaking “forthrightly” and “‘unequivocally”, exhibited these qualities in Paris to the delight of the international team of lawyers representing Nigeria as the two past presidents did exceptionally well.
