Former President Muhammadu Buhari has returned to Nigeria following his appearance as a witness before the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Paris. His testimony was crucial in connection with the ongoing $2.3 billion arbitration case initiated by Sunrise Power, a significant dispute rooted in a power generation and distribution contract established in 2003 under the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The confirmation of Buhari’s return to Nigeria was made public by Bashir Ahmad, a former media aide to the president, through a post on X. Ahmad expressed that Buhari had, in his capacity, defended Nigeria’s interests during the arbitration proceedings.

Reports had circulated suggesting that the Nigerian government had compelled Buhari to testify in this matter. However, the Presidency has firmly denied these claims, clarifying that all individuals participating in Nigeria’s defense are doing so voluntarily. This statement aims to uphold the integrity and autonomy of those involved in the arbitration process, dispelling any notions of coercion.

As the case unfolds, the involvement of prominent figures like Buhari underscores the significance of the dispute, which carries substantial implications for Nigeria’s economic and diplomatic standing.
