The attention of the Presidency has been drawn to some fake news on social media about an arbitration proceeding in Paris to which the Nigerian Government is a Party.
A statement by the special adviser to the President on information and strategy Bayo Onanuga said The private proceeding, which should not have been reported in the media, is entirely confidential until the international arbitrators decide.
While respecting the confidentiality of the proceeding, we wish to state categorically that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has not forced anyone to testify for or to refrain from testifying against Nigeria.
All the Eminent Nigerians involved in Nigeria’s defence are doing so willingly and out of sheer patriotism and conviction.
President Tinubu and the entire country are grateful to them.
