Paschal Emeka, Abuja.

President Muhammadu Buhari will be the Special Guest of Honour at the launch of a book written by Major Gen. John Gbor( RTD.) on Saturday, December 17th, 2022 at the NAF Conference Centre Abuja.

In a press statement signed by the Media director of the book launcher, Esanerovo Agbodo which was made available to journalists in Abuja informed that former President Goodluck Jonathan will also host all States’ Governors and other dignitaries as the Guest of Honour.

He said, “key presidential candidates across political parties, political parties chieftains, Service Chiefs, and other top Nigerian leaders are also expected at the event.”

The statement said the book, entitled Nigeria, a Nation Yearning for Moral Regeneration and Unity will be presented to the public by Gen. John Gbor foundation.

The book, according to the press statement, is centered on finding solutions to the challenges of the moral and unity transitions of the Nigerian society vis- a- vis the diverse ethnic groups since the colonial era till date, to attain a better nation for the future.

It chronicles the historical events from the pre-colonial era which shaped Nigerian political morals and practices and the roles played by colonial masters and Nigerian leaders over the years and how it has shaped the thoughts and mindset of Nigerians today.

The Author insisted that the Unity of Nigerians was the idea of Nigerians from across the country and not the agenda of the British, so every Nigerian must rally around to make sure that the country remains one united entity for a better tomorrow.

“The book is a must-read for all Nigerians especially in this political season as we approach the 2023 elections”.

The book examined the factors that led to the agitations of some ethnic groups today for secession from the Nigerian union as well as tells the history of Nigeria from when the British first stepped into Nigerian soil till when three colonies were created out of the current Nigeria geographical landscape until these separate colonial administrative centers were finally merged to form the country Nigeria today.

The schemings by the British Colonial authority to keep Nigeria divided for political expediency in that era were also highlighted while expatiating on the roles of indigenous Nigerian domestic staff of the British Colonial Masters in insisting on the unity of Nigeria against all odds.

General Gbor was the 2019 Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in Nigeria and he is currently the Chairman of the John Gbor foundation in Abuja.
