Nigeria’s Aborted 3rd Republic and the June 12 Debacle: Reporters’ Account

Price range: ₦5,000.00 through ₦10,000.00

Nigeria’s Aborted 3rd Republic And The June 12 Debacle: Reporters’ Account is a collection of narratives by 33 political journalists of the era, capturing a number of the political dramas in Nigeria between 1987 and 1994.

“By documenting an essential epoch in Nigeria’s political journey, respected political reporters (some now retired, some still active) provide insights on where we are coming from as a people, tragic mistakes made by the military and political actors of a certain era, lessons we have refused to learn as well as what might have been had we followed a different trajectory. What makes this book particularly significant and compelling is that, given the demographics of Nigeria, most of our citizens were born after the ‘June 12’ fiasco of 1993. And they need to know these stories,” Olusegun Adeniyi.

“Nigeria’s Aborted 3rd Republic And The June 12 Debacle: Reporters’ Account comes in as a fresh addition to research efforts aimed at getting an authentic record of what actually transpired before, during and after the election. As a compilation by eyewitnesses – media correspondents attached to political institutions such as the Electoral Commission and the political parties, the compilation is uniquely authoritative,” Professor Tonnie Iredia
