Nigeria: Jonathan to Present Buhari's Biography - Tinubu, Others to Grace Unveiling
The three-volume work draws on interviews, records and accounts from Buhari aides and critics to assess his life, leadership and legacy.
- Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan will serve as chief presenter at the public launch of Muhammadu Buhari: The Authorised Biography in Abuja on Thursday, November 19, 2026.
- Author Udo Yakubu spent two years on research, interviews, writing, editing and verification; President Muhammadu Buhari authorized the work before his death last year, granting access to personal documents.
- The three volumes—"Buhari: The Phenomenon," "Buhari: The Presidency," and "Buhari: The Reckoning"—trace his military career, eight-year presidency, and legacy on security, economy, and institutional reform.
- Engr Suleiman Adamu, chairman of the planning committee, designated the launch as a national occasion for reflecting on public service; organizers urge institutions to acquire the volumes for future generations.
- Acknowledging Buhari remained a divisive figure in Nigerian politics, Yakubu noted the volumes aim to "substantially enlarge the evidence available" for historical judgment rather than provide a final account.
