Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, will today unveil his seminal book, which x-rays frosty relationship between governors and their deputies titled: ‘Deputising and Governance in Nigeria.’

Former President Goodluck Jonathan will be the chairman of the book launch holding at NAF Conference Centre, Abuja by 10:00a.m. The special guests of honour are Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, while presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is the guest of honour.

The book will be reviewed by Prof. Attahiru Jega, former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Nigeria’s contemporary political history is replete with tales of incumbent/ deputy faceoff, which have occurred at national, sub-national as well as at local council levels. Unfortunately, these frosty and acrimonious relationships between two top leaders do not just leave behind lacerating scars, they have, on several occasions, constituted a serious threat to the peace, stability and development of geopolitical spaces.

They have also given birth to innumerable litigations, probes, policy shifts and reversals, as well as policy abandonment.

Ganduje, who has navigated the shark-infested waters expertly, decided to take a cursory look at the matter in his 355-paged book.
