Description
The Letterman: Inside the ‘Secret’ Letters of former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has been described by those who have read it as a trail-blazing literary work. The book brings to the front burner the place of letter writing in leadership, governance and politics. President Obasanjo seems a perfect pick for this genre of work having demonstrated a consistent penchant for using letters to speak candidly to subordinates, superiors, associates and foreign personalities, not minding the accolades or invectives such letters might generate. Meanwhile, many respected personalities have poured encomiums on The Letterman as a pacesetting literary work in the country. ‘The Letterman: Inside the ‘Secret’ Letters of Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo’ is a 492-page, 25-chapter narrative non-fiction that compellingly tells the story of Obasanjo’s life from the time he was a General Officer Commanding the Third Marine Commando and his wartime efforts, through his tenure as military head of state between 1976 and 1979, his continental liberation struggles and political activism from the 1970s to 1999, as well as his post-presidency era.
