The corridors of power are officially shifting to the bookshelves this weekend.
As political landscape continually evolves, business titans, royalty, and high-society heavyweights are set to converge at La Scala, Muson Centre, Lagos this Sunday, 6 September, 2026, for the highly anticipated unveiling of Seun Oloketuyi’s new book, ‘How to Win Elections in Nigeria’.

The book brings together rare, unfiltered conversations with politicians who have contested elections at various levels, giving them a platform to speak candidly about their firsthand experiences and the gritty realities of seeking political office in Nigeria.
Among the high-profile contributors who bared it all are: former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello; former Abia State Governor Okezie Ikpeazu; former Cross River State Governor Donald Duke; and former Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi.

By chronicling the triumphs and trials of those who have actually bled on the political field, the book offers readers an unprecedented, masterclass perspective on what it truly takes to seek, win, and hold political office in Africa’s largest democracy.
