President Bola Tinubu, former President Goodluck Jonathan, and former Niger Republic President Mahamadou Issoufou are set to preside over the public presentation of “Muhammadu Buhari: The Authorised Biography,” a three-volume work on the life and presidency of the late former President.
The unveiling is scheduled for Thursday, November 19, 2026, at the Nigerian Army Conference Centre and Suites in Abuja, ValidViewNetwork reports .
THE EVENT
According to the Chairman of the Planning Committee, Engr. Suleiman Adamu, Jonathan will serve as the chief presenter, while Tinubu will attend as the guest of honour. Issoufou will chair the event.
The three volumes carry forewords by Issoufou, General Yakubu Gowon, and General Abdulsalami Abubakar.
THE BOOKS
The biography, authored by Dr. Udu Yakubu, is divided into three volumes: “Buhari: The Phenomenon,” which traces his origins, military career, and journey to the presidency; “Buhari: The Presidency,” which examines his eight years in office from 2015 to 2023; and “Buhari: The Reckoning,” which assesses his legacy on the economy, security, infrastructure, foreign affairs, and anti-corruption .
Yakubu described the work as “an exercise in historical accounting rather than tribute or prosecution” . “The Reckoning is intended neither as condemnation nor vindication. It signifies historical accounting: what was attempted, what was achieved, what remained unresolved and what Buhari’s long engagement with power ultimately contributed to Nigeria’s political history,” he said .
THE ANALYTICAL LENS
Buhari was a polarising figure. His supporters saw him as a man of integrity who fought corruption. His critics saw him as a failure who presided over economic decline and worsening insecurity.
The biography, authorised by Buhari during his lifetime, attempts to navigate between those poles. It is not a hagiography, nor is it a prosecution. It is an attempt to place his life and record within the context of the times in which he governed.
Whether it succeeds will be for readers to judge. The book will be launched. The debate will continue. ValidViewNetwork reports.
