The book which is written by Wale Adebanwi, assistant professor at the University of California, Davis, will be publicly presented alongside a book written by Ribadu, the former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), entitled My Story, My Vision.

Adebanwi’s book is praised by author of Africa’s most famous novel, Professor Chinua Achebe - who wrote the foreword - as ‘a salient document depicting an important crusader for justice.’ On his part, Professor Richard Joseph, author of one of the most acclaimed scholarly accounts of democratic governance in Nigeria, ‘Democracy and Prebendal Politics in Nigeria,’ states that the question that confronts readers of Adebanwi’s ‘searing expose’ is this: ‘Will the cesspools of corruption in Nigeria be forever drained and will this great nation discover the path to democratic prosperity?’
