Leadership in Africa has always been a case of lording it over the people as leaders turn commonwealth into personal fortune with the belief that their personal interests are the interests of the people.
Tinubu The Audacity to Hope is a shot in the dark, with a great hope that the election of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the President of Nigeria would be turning a corner for an already traumatized nation, to have a servant leader that would for the first time be prepared to serve and be open to wise counsel.
The book is very daring and frank about the incompetence and shame of past leaders, and is harsh on their follies, corruption and sycophancies- metaphorically x-rayed as virus and terminal diseases, which they would have loved to remain buried in the piles of old journals without anyone rousing them up for debates.
With a book like this, leaders cannot pretend that people are not aware of their promises neither clueless about what to be done and how they can be done.
It's a game changer in holding public officials accountable with lessons of history and their words as witnesses such that the halls of fame and shame will be clear for all to erect.
