This is an exceptionally well-written and comprehensive review of the book. The prose is so spellbinding and so compelling it at once distracts and attracts you. I wonder where Dr. Chidi Odinkalu got the time to read the entire book for this review. The review faithfully captures the content of the book in one of the most dazzlingly entrancing pieces of prose I've read in a long while. Wow!

Professor Gwamma:

The ball is in your court once again.  Please enlighten us on the composition of your association.

Who are the members of the committee that assessed Buhari's economic and security performance?

Is there any truth in the insinuations that you might be in the pockets of the current service chiefs and that is the motivation for your issued statement?
