Buhari’s Troubles and How the Cabal Became a Weapon Against Tinubu
Power was supposed to belong to the General. But according to Dr Charles Omole, the main issue during the presidency of Muhammadu Buhari was how he managed the power wielded by the forces around him.
Drawing from his research and insights in the book, From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari, @DrCOmole paints the picture of a president trapped inside his own government, surrounded by a powerful cabal dominated by trusted kinsmen who wielded enormous influence over state power and national decisions.
From the corridors of Aso Rock to the vaults of the Central Bank of Nigeria, he explains how powerful interests hijacked critical institutions, shaped economic policies, and pushed Nigeria into fierce political tension ahead of the 2023 elections. The intrigues became part of a larger political struggle to derail the presidential ambition of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Dear Reader,
“CHAPTERS OF DESTINY, The Autobiography of Adetola Babatunde Atanda Adeniyi is the title suggested by my son Tola Adeniyi II. I had previously chosen TOLA ADENIYI, The Trinity of Destiny, Fate and Character, given the commanding role the trinity played in my life. You may safely call it a book of two titles!
“What you are about to read is the story of my life. It is an abridged version of the account of my journey in life and through life. Many of the events of my life are recorded here, many are missing, many cannot be accommodated by constraints of space, and some have escaped the sharpness of memory.”

Chapters of Destiny: An Autobiography Who, really, is Tola Adeniyi? For more than a half century now, at least since the early 70s of the last millennium, Tola has been consistently and prominently in the public eye, but in various guises and disguises. Gaining national fame and visibility at first in his own name as one of our most candid and outspoken columnists, he subsequently developed another controversial persona as "Aba Saheed", an even more abrasive—and therefore more popular—critic of power and defender of the masses, who exposed and denounced corruption and incompetence with fierce satirical gibes. But that was not all. As some will find out in this book, perhaps in astonishment, Tola Adeniyi, aka Aba Saheed of Sunday Times, was also simultaneously Ticha Bento, and Tola Nee of Evening Times, Nguyen Tol Nee in Lagos Weekend, and even a female nom de plume, called Busola Babat! In The Punch, The City People, and Sunday Sun, he wrote with still other names, such that, at a point, he alone was writing more than 15 columns per week! As far as I know, there is no other columnist in our history who has matched this torrential output. If the pen were human, said a colleague in envy, its name would be Tola Adeniyi! Even now, more than half a century along the road, when the audience is shifting from newsprint to digital platform, the flood of words from our friend is yet unabating. So, who is he, really, and what is the secret behind this uncommon, restless and prodigious outpour? What is the goal, yet unattained, that spurs him on? This book, Chapters of Destiny, provides some answers. It is his long-awaited biography, and may prove to be the most entertaining, if not the most intriguing of his works. It unravels to a substantial extent, the phenomenon called Tola Adeniyi. And, because it is culled, as they say, from the horse's mouth, it is more than a reader's delight. Chapters recounts a fascinating story: of a young man rising with unusual 'success' and rapidity through a variety of careers, pushed prematurely to senior positions by forces he did not solicit or control, such that we are again reminded here of the inexorable hands of fate. Anyway, by the age of 40 he had already been in and out of several top management positions, both in the government and the private sectors—and especially in the leading newspapers of the time, such as Nigerian Tribune, Daily Sketch, and principally, The Daily Times, gaining a foothold in the halls of power, and acquiring the tools that would enable him to stamp his name indelibly on the pages of the country's history. The press, he came to learn, was a powerful medium to confront the holders of power. As it is, the Press it was, we must not forget, that became the hero of our struggle for freedom. In those years of military rule, when incompetent kleptocratic governments did their worst to suppress dissent and public discourse, it was the Press that, through their columns and editorials, boldly and defiantly took on the role of the people's spokesman. Even in face of brutal persecution from the soldiers, our journalists chose to pay the price, and many of them were jailed, whipped and maimed, or physically eliminated. Tola was one of the few that survived. Writing with an inflexible moral conscience and unwavering sense of justice Tola persistently demonstrated, along with a few others of our contemporaries, an uncommon resilience in denouncing injustice and official corruption and chicanery. In the process he turned himself—as Chapters reveals here—into a frequent target of the agents of power, and victim of near fatal collisions. ⁃Femi Osofisan, Emeritus Professor of Theatre Studies Author: Adetola Adeniyi Hardcover 422 pages To order the book, tap the link: udarabooks.com/home/470-chapt… Or contact Udara Books on WhatsApp: +2347012941837 +2348099918449

There is no Heaven. There is no Hell
What happens after life, and who gets to define it?
Chief Tola Adeniyi, former Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Times and Nigerian Tribune, steps into one of humanity’s most controversial conversations with striking certainty. He rejects the traditional doctrines of heaven and hellfire, arguing instead that such ideas were constructed as instruments of control, tools used by some to dominate the minds and destinies of others.
Speaking as a man shaped by decades of journalism, power, and reflection, Adeniyi describes himself as a spiritualist, one who believes in an essence that transcends physical death. For him, existence does not end; it transforms. The body may fade, but something deeper, more enduring, continues its journey.
This is a critique of religion, a personal philosophy developed through experience, conviction, and a refusal to accept inherited truths without question.

Fulani Armed Groups Became Most Effective Under Buhari — @DrCOmole
Nigeria’s long battle with insecurity takes centre stage as Dr Charles Omole, author of From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari, delivers an assessment of the Buhari years and the forces that thrived during that period.
He says under Muhammadu Buhari’s watch, Fulani armed groups emerged as some of the most organised and effective violent actors in the country, operating across communities with frightening reach and deadly consequences.
According to him, insecurity evolved beyond a national tragedy into a thriving enterprise that enriched powerful interests within the corridors of power.
Omole reflects on the contradictions of Buhari’s presidency — a former military ruler who came to power promising discipline and security, yet presided over one of the most turbulent security periods in modern Nigerian history.
