Sam Omatseye, the chairperson of The Nation Newspaper’s editorial board, is poised to launch a book detailing President Bola Tinubu’s journey to becoming the nation’s leader.

Titled “Beating All Odds: Diaries and Essays on How Bola Tinubu Became President,” the unveiling is scheduled for Tuesday in Abuja at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre.

Omatseye, in a Saturday statement, highlighted that the book will provide an account and context for “one of Nigeria’s most tempestuous election seasons.”

“The occasion, which is expected to attract high-profile political actors, media personalities and members of the civil societies, will be chaired by Chief Olusegun Osoba, CON, CFR, former governor of Ogun state,” the statement reads.

“The president and commander-in-chief, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, who is the subject of the book, is expected to attend as well as the vice president, Kashim Shettima.

“The chief host is Nyesom Wike, CON, minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former governor of Rivers State.

“The compere will be Eric Osagie, publisher of ThisNigeria and former editor-in-chief of the Sun Newspapers.”
