Who’s After Paul Usoro? vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
You could not miss him in the crowd of telecommunications industry players and lawyers, who were milling around the Hilton Hotel, venue of the auction with his trademark bow ties. I watched him closely as he interacted with journalists and demonstrated remarkable knowledge of the process.
Indeed I have been following the trajectory of progress of this brilliant Akwa Ibom State-born lawyer and boardroom player. His firm, PUC, ranks at the top perch of law practice in Nigeria. I’m also aware he spent over 15 years at Airtel Nigeria , where he represented Akwa Ibom State on the Board. It was like he headed off a nest of wasps and they descended on his otherwise spotless body stinging him all over. Not only did he face fierce and sometimes very dirty opposition, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission came after him. It seemed as if there were some hidden forces working behind the scene in concert with the EFCC and his opponents in the NBA election to deal with him.
