The Loyalist (Pre-order)

In The Loyalist, Bolaji Abdullahi delivers a gripping account of his two-decade odyssey through the stormy waters of Nigerian politics. More than a memoir, this is an unflinching exploration of power, loyalty, and ambition, told with the insight of a journalist-turned-politician. Abdullahi pulls back the curtains on the high-stakes manoeuvring of governance, the transactional nature of party politics, and the personal sacrifices demanded by public service.

From his formative years as an aide in Kwara State to his tenure as a federal minister under President Goodluck Jonathan, Abdullahi’s journey is marked by triumphs, betrayals, and profound lessons. With humour and candour, he navigates the complexities of his relationship with political godfathers like Senator Bukola Saraki, offering rare insight into the personal and political dynamics that shape leadership in Nigeria.

Written with wit and depth, The Loyalist transcends politics to become a moving meditation on integrity, service, and identity. Abdullahi’s story is an inspiring reminder of the strength needed to stand firm in a world where loyalty and ambition often collide.
