Reading Session and Book Signing by Professor Pat Utomi at Rovingheights Bookstore, Lagos
Professor Pat Utomi, Professor of Political Economy, Management Expert and Author of the book ‘Why Not: Citizenship, State Capture, Progressive Fascism and the Criminal Hijacking of Politics in Nigeria’ will discuss and sign copies of the book at Rovingheights Bookstore, Landmark Center , Oniru, Lagos on Friday, March 11 at 5:30 p.m.
‘In 2018, a study showed that Nigeria had become the most miserable place to be human on earth. In the same year, the political primaries showed no effort to find leaders who could address the myriad of problems facing the country, presenting a grave danger that the Nigerian state could degenerate into a criminal enterprise, according to the synopsis of the book.
The book “Why not?” answers the question “Why bother?” raised by those who think that the criminal capture of politics in Nigeria is complete and that hands should be crossed and observation binoculars rented. The book begins by charting a new path for fascism in Nigeria and reveals “how a sense of shame met its death in Nigeria.”
The event will be moderated by Kunle Lawal, a politician, businessman and CEO of the Electoral College of Nigeria.
According to Adedotun Eyinade, co-founder of Rovingheights, ‘We hope the event will provide an opportunity for readers to critically engage with Professor Utomi’s latest book. The conversation about the ‘Why Not’ book couldn’t have been more timely. The topics are instructive, relevant and should be at the forefront of interesting conversations about how to rescue Nigeria from the precipice it is teetering on.”
On the election of the moderator of the event, “we see an alignment with the themes of Professor Utomi’s book and the broad objectives of the Nigerian Electoral College,” he added.
