Leadership in Transition: The Highs and Lows of Nigeria's Fourth Republic
Leadership in Transition: The Highs and Lows of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic
Presidents. Protests. Promises Broken.
From Obasanjo to Tinubu, this book reveals the real story of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic—raw, factual, and fearless.
Since the end of military rule in 1999, Nigeria has walked a turbulent path of democracy—one shaped by elections, corruption, civil unrest, youth uprisings, ASUU strikes, bold reforms, economic crises, and the constant tug-of-war between power and people.
In this definitive political exposé, you’ll uncover how each Nigerian president—from Olusegun Obasanjo to Bola Ahmed Tinubu—has shaped (and sometimes shaken) the foundation of the nation. With over two decades of analysis, Unmasking Power digs deep into:
✅ Election controversies and reforms
✅ Leadership styles, economic policies, and failed promises
✅ Corruption, anti-graft campaigns, and elite power struggles
✅ ASUU strikes, youth protests, and the collapse of education
✅ Security breakdowns, Boko Haram, and EndSARS resistance
✅ The role of INEC, the judiciary, and civil society
✅ Fuel subsidy battles, recession fallout, and labour unrest
✅ How digital activism (#OccupyNigeria, #EndSARS) changed politics forever
Whether you're a student, researcher, political analyst, or curious Nigerian, this book offers unfiltered insight into the power dynamics and democratic struggles that continue to define the nation.
