Strategic Intervention in Governance (Volume 1) is a reader's delight any day. This compilation of speeches packs a punch. From contemporary Nigerian politics to social mobilisation, religion and many other critical national issues, Tunde Bakare, one of the most vocal and respected thought leaders ever to emerge from Nigeria, bares his mind in the speeches condensed in this intriguing volume.
His speeches on the events surrounding the sickness and death of former President Umaru Yar'Adua; the interplay of religion and politics; the events that led to his becoming the presidential running mate to General Muhammadu Buhari in the 2011 general elections; the oil subsidy saga of 2012 and the intricacies of democratic governance in Nigeria, are classics that will remain important for many coming generations of people who are keen on understanding the complexities of Nigeria.
This volume is not merely about speeches though, it is about history, fascinating ideas, significant personalities, the evils that have ravaged Nigeria and the solutions that can set her on the path of greatness.
