I wonder why you would not tell Nigerians that loan negotiations with China Eximbank have stalled since 2017 because of your attempt to divert about $600 million from the 3050MW hydropower project to a pet project not hitherto considered by the FEC, and the Chinese Contractors, and Eximbank are insisting on full compliance with the terms of the EPC signed in November 2017. It was in anticipation of your covert operations to subvert the 3050MW power project, that I wrote my initial petition to His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR 20 months ago; about your attempts to frustrate the 3050MW Mambilla hydropower project.

Mr Babatunde Fashola SAN,
I read the Daily Trust newspaper of January 2nd 2019, and I watched your recent TV interviews on Channels, and NTA, aired in December 2018. Your alarming and continuous fabrication and distortion of facts about ongoing loan negotiations between China Eximbank and the FGN in respect of the 3050MW Mambilla hydropower project continues to baffle me because you have persisted with the tale of lies.

Why must you run to NTA or the Press if you are not guilty?
Your said interviews to the press on the above subject was malicious and reckless with the sole objective to mislead the public. As a lawyer and indeed a Senior Counsel you ought to have exercised restraint in granting interviews on this subject matter which is still under adjudication in Paris; bearing in mind that the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) through the office of Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice has entered appearances/defence.
As a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), you must stop peddling falsehood and check your facts before opening your mouth to speak. First point of correction is that, I have never been convicted of any crime in my life, so it is perplexing that you would go to any length to discredit those who, as it would seem, stand against your pecuniary interest. I really don’t know where you heard your MT Tuma CRIME SCENE story; but I am sure you will publish the case file for Nigerians to read. Mr. Fashola, the law profession is for honorable and honest individuals, and being a Senior Advocate (SAN) requires more of you.
