Book Analyzing ‘Tinubuism’ Set For Release: Former NUJ President Decodes Nigeria’s Ultimate Political Mastermind

ABUJA, NIGERIA — A groundbreaking new book decoding the political strategies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and introducing the concept of “Tinubuism” is set to hit shelves before the end of 2026.

The 300-page volume, titled THE TINUBU ENIGMA: Tinubuism, Democratic Continuity and the Future of Nigeria, is written by veteran journalist Lanre Ogundipe.

Ogundipe, a highly respected media figure, previously served as the President of both the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) and the African Union of Journalists.

Described by the author as an “attempt at political interpretation” rather than partisan praise or condemnation, the book offers a rigorous look at the President.

It examines Tinubu not just as a leader but as a complex political phenomenon shaped by power, coalition building, and the challenges of governing a diverse federation.

The early chapters dissect Tinubu’s methods as a strategist and organizer within Nigeria’s Fourth Republic. Later chapters tackle high-stakes issues, including democratic accountability, governance reforms, institutional endurance, and historical judgment.

Rather than presenting “Tinubuism” as a fixed doctrine, Ogundipe’s work invites scholars, journalists, and the public to debate whether the President’s recurring political patterns represent a distinct method of power management in modern Africa.

Compiled from a mix of fresh analytical content and deeply developed essays, the manuscript has already undergone rigorous academic and editorial review.

Further details regarding the official launch date and public presentation are expected to be announced soon.
