Battlelines

Battlelines. Here’s a fascinating account of highlights of Olusegun Osoba’s life story.  From his boyish pranks in the railway town of Osogbo, to the inner city of Lagos; where he attended secondary school and began his career as a journalist; and also to his sojourn in Ilorin and Ibadan, it is a journey driven by vision and enterprise. From his entry into the world of ideas-politics of Obafemi Awolowo’s Unity Party of Nigeria to his days in the Social Democratic Party’s politics of his hometown, Abeokuta and home-state of Ogun  and also to the confounding intrigues on the national stage, the book takes the reader into the promise of the All Peoples Congress and Osoba’s stimulating world of networks and contacts.

From the divine deliverance from the evil plots of the Abacha dictatorship to the governance of Ogun State, it is an absorbing account of how his life as a pressman, politician and statesman intertwines with people in different places. It is a book that unearths Osoba as he has never been before. As much as a story of love, hope and achievement as it is a narrative of human foibles, of jealousies, persecutions and setbacks. It is a chronicle of plots and betrayals, of high-mindedness and pettiness; and also a documentation of history with revealing insights. It is an unusual account told by an engaging reporter. Racy and exciting, it is a book you will not put down in a hurry.
