Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first four months of the year 2015 will be remembered by many as some of the most apprehensive days ever in the history of Nigeria. The destiny of Nigeria was hanging in the balance. In the centre of this political theatre were two personalities with significantly different trajectories: one, the incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) who had enjoyed an unprecedented, almost meteoric rise, to the apex of political power, and the other, then General Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Buhari: The Making of a President is a story of intrigues, suspense, betrayals, reconciliations, collaborations and strategic concessions, one which only an insider could have told to such detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great Presidents of Nigerian 4th Republic Nigeria has arrived; Nigeria is born again with the most credible April 2011 general and presidential elections in 50 years according to International Community. President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, VP Namadi Sambo and INEC Chairman, Professor Attahiru Jega deserve national and international honours. President Jonathan won landslide with 23 million votes across all party lines. The 'Promised Land' journey begins in earnest. Nigeria is marching forward steadfastly despite bumps and teething gestation problems to encounter. With 160 Million inhabitants, Nigeria is world's largest concentration of Blacks. President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan's presidency beginning May 29, 2011 represents the fulfillment of hope, change, salvation, good luck and blessings after decades of military dictatorships between 1966 and 1999. Structured like USA Presidency, bi-cameral Legislature and Independent Judiciary, Nigeria became beloved to International Community sooner than anticipated. With membership in UN, OPEC, Commonwealth of Nations, AU, ECOWAS, NEPAD, Nigeria is seventh world's largest petroleum supplier and fifth supplier to USA. Nigeria is becoming economic super-power - 'Vision 2020' with abundance of oil, gas, bitumen, gold, etc. Nigeria is beautified by Atlantic Ocean, Rivers Niger and Benue, Lake Chad, Tinapa Holiday Resort (world-class), Olumo Rock, Igbesa Free Trade Zone. Nigeria, blessed and protected from natural disasters never witnessed devastating Tsunami, Katrina, volcano, thunderstorm, iceberg, earthquake and mudslide that wipe-out settlements and kill thousands seasonally. International Social Scientists' 4-year survey rated Nigeria as the world's happiest country (2006) while USA, Britain, Japan and Russia were outside the first 10. Also, International Financial Agencies confirmed Nigeria's 35% return on investment as world's highest. Nigeria's incredible hospitality encourages some Americans, Europeans and Asians to become naturalized citizens of Nigeria. Oil-rich country Nigeria, often described as African giant, peace and power broker Nigeria, granted amnesties to secessionists (1970), Niger Delta militants (2009) and settled Bakassi Peninsula dispute with Cameroon (2006) diplomatically. War-mongering super-powers and allies, intimidating and occupying weaker nations illegally, should emulate Nigerian leadership examples of Presidents Obasanjo, Yar'Adua and Jonathan's peaceful conflict resolution best practices for world peace. Wake Up Nigerians! Make Nigeria Great and Prosperous! Failure Is Not An Option! Nigerians Are Tired of Excuses for Avoidable Leadership Indiscretion and Slumber for 50 Years of Independence! Always Put Nigeria First! Change 'Business as Usual'! GOD BLESS THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA!

Download or read book Buhari s Way written by Adrian A. Davieson, Ph.d. and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buhari surprised skeptics when he won the 2015 presidential election to become the 6th democratically elected president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. But the road to the presidency hadn't been a cakewalk. Buhari had to fight, persevere, and with a little bit of accidental luck, combined with his predecessor's self-destruct, and moribund administration, won a landslide victory. The years leading to the 2015 election had been volatile, with suspicions, mudslinging, and a free-for-all battle for the presidency. Did Buhari win the election by stoking riots, unrest and terrorism in Nigeria's northeast? Did he win because he was the only trusted politician left to solve Nigeria's numerous problems? Did murder, mayhem, blackmail, kidnapping, terrorism, insurgency and uncertainties, pave the way for Buhari's victory in the 2015 presidential election? Would Buhari have been charged with crime against humanity at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, for allegedly inciting the 2011 post election violence that killed many in the northeast of Nigeria if he had lost the election? This semi-biography of Buhari, and of Nigeria, answers and tells it all, with unfettered candor. This book is about Buhari, and about Nigeria and how the country has struggled since independence in 1960, to find its potential socioeconomic greatness, with one corrupt government after another. Will the new democratically elected 6th president solve Nigeria's problems and end the corruption that has become endemic and a way of life in this oil-rich but mismanaged nation? Can this former coup leader and dictator let go the soldier in him and become a true convert to democracy, or a converted democrat? Read Buhari's Way, to know if he will succeed or fail!

Book excerpt: Chronicles the evolution of political leadership in Nigeria and outlines the turning points in the nation’s checkered political history. With keen eyes on the ethnic and religious sensitivities responsible for the mutual suspicion of one another by the multiple ethnic nationalities that make up the country, the author shines light on how Nigeria is practising zero-sum politics via the rotation of presidential power between the north and south, an agreement that has inadvertently been undermining the unity of the country and is responsible for the lack of real socioeconomic progress even as it is fuelling ethno-religious disharmony in Nigeria.

This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laying the Foundation for Nigeria’s Democracy: My Account of June 12, 1993 Presidential Election and Its Annulment is a factual, gripping, and compelling insight into the most authentic analysis and explanation of the nation’s political environment under which the June 12 election was held and how the result was tragically annulled, even as it was accurately adjudged as the freest and fairest in the history of the country. The theoretical thrust deals with the crux of the problems that face the task of nation-building in Nigeria which is legitimacy. Prudently, the author examines how the Nigerian leadership tends to attract legitimacy and its acceptance from the generality of Nigerians. He documents the centrifugal and centripetal forces that combined in the various ways to shape as well as influence President Babangida’s transition program. The program is analyzed and compared with the previous transition program, and the process, its special features like its phased nature and its inbuilt learning process are identified. Professor Humphrey Nwosu concludes the book by stating unequivocally that Nigerians found a great deal of opportunity for real and genuine democracy during June 12 presidential election and they grabbed it. The outcome of the election and its annulment had whetted the appetite of both the majority and the minority ethnic groups of Nigeria. There is therefore a burning desire for equality, fairness and freedom for all Nigerians. Suggesting how Nigerians can solve their present political problems, he reiterates that the June 12 presidential election lays a strong foundation for democracy in Nigeria, and also maintains that June 12, 1993 election was indeed the Real Democracy Day in Nigeria while May 29, 1999 was its offshoot. This broad-ranging book of stimulating account is commended to students of political science, political leaders, democrats, all public office-holders as well as independent readers having the interest of Nigeria’s development at heart.

Book excerpt: Buharinomics takes a surgical view at the leadership style of President Muhammadu Buhari both as Nigeria's Military Leader after truncating a democratically elected government in 1983 and his second advent as Nigeria's elected democratic president. After being in power for three and half years, it is clear to every Nigerian that electing Buhari as Nigeria's President in 2015 amounted to the worst miscalculation and biggest political travesty in the history of Nigeria.During his short time as Military leader, Nigeria suffered the worst economic recession and suppression of free press. In fact, Nigerians had never seen that kind of hunger and recession as we suffered under Buhari's Military government as Nigerians had to queue for essential commodities such as bread and milk. Nigeria was again thrown into another avoidable economic recession that saw several millions of people losing their jobs, businesses closing down due to unbearable economic environment and the prices of basic goods and services skyrocketing, making Nigeria the country with the highest number of poor people in the world.This book is intended for Nigerians at home and abroad, irrespective of tribe, language, ethnicity or religious affiliation, Africans, potential investors, the International Community, students, policy makers and anyone who is interested in understanding the political economy of Nigeria.

Book excerpt: In the run up to the 2015 presidential election, the nation was tottering on the edge of the precipice, soaked in fear and palpable tension driven by heightened ethnic saliency, vile propaganda and apostles of hate. Doomsday prophets like John Campbell, former American Ambassador to Nigeria amongst others who had predicted the disintegration of the nation were in for a big surprise. Against all odds former president Goodluck Jonathan made what is arguably the most consequential call in our nation's history when he placed a call to President Muhammadu Buhari, the then opposition candidate to concede defeat.Incidentally, the ascendancy of President Buhari and his party, APC, to the presidency ushered the nation into an extraordinary eye of painful and terrible 'change', suffocating the nation in all spheres. One that the Nigerian nation now leads from the bottom of every human development index, predicated on this stark reality, is a chasm between the electorates and government, which will ultimately be interpreted in the forthcoming 2019 presidential poll. If this be the case, can Buhari do same like Jonathan did in 2015, considering how he militarized the recent Ekiti and Osun states gubernatorial electoral processes?For The Love Of Country captures succinctly, the significance of the historic telephone call by Jonathan, a momentous event which doused tensions, averted bloodshed and gave Nigeria another opportunity for a fresh beginning. Delivered in elegant and lucid prose, from the standpoint of a patriot, the book also takes the slant of historic expose, tracing in the process, the nation's challenges from pre-independence to date. It evokes memories of the great Nigerian possibility stymied by class, religion and ethnicity. Former president Goodluck Jonathan demonstrated uncommon courage, selflessness and patriotism, qualities which have transformed him into a global icon and the father of democracy in Africa. A legacy I hope other leaders around the world to emulate.
