Tinubu, Jonathan, ex-Niger President to unveil Buhari biography

Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan will introduce Muhammadu Buhari: The Authorized Biography at an event in Abuja on Thursday, November 19, 2026. The guest of honor at the gathering is expected to be President Bola Tinubu. The event will be chaired by former Niger Republic President Mahamadou Issoufou. The biography consists of three volumes, each penned by Issoufou, former Head of State Gen Yakubu Gowon, and former Head of State Gen Abdulsalami Abubakar.

The event organizers aim to broaden the occasion beyond a political gathering, inviting participation from various sectors including politics, academia, the military, diplomatic community, private sector, civil society, and the media. The chairman of the planning committee, Suleiman Adamu, urged all relevant institutions to acquire the biography and make it accessible to students, researchers, and future generations.

The biography, approved by late President Buhari during his lifetime, covers Buhari's military career, opposition politics, and his eight-year presidency from 2015 to 2023.
