Osoba to unveil new book, My Life in the Public Eye

Former Governor of Ogun State and a distinguished journalist, Olusegun Osoba, has announced plan to unveil his latest literary work, ‘My Life in the Public Eye, in Lagos on Saturday, July 13, 2024.

The book is a fascinating follow up to Osoba’s memoir, ‘Battlelines: Adventures in Journalism and Politics.’According to Diamond Publications, publisher of the book, it is a unique book that documents public reactions to Battlelines and features some of the author’s historic reflections on issues of public interest since 2019.

“Osoba tells the story essentially through the eyes of some leading public intellectuals, such as Ray Ekpu, Reuben Abati, Abdu Rafiu, Bisi Olawunmi, Yakubu Mohammed, Louis Odion, Dele Momodu, Dare Babarinsa, Azuh Arinze, Yinka Fabowale, Dapo Aderinola, and Dele Momodu.”

“As a book of record, it carries probing analyses from Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Dapo Olorunyomi, Sam Akpe, Chido Nwakanma, and Festus Adedayo. It also features the penetrating insights of Generals Ibrahim Babangida and Abdusalam Abubakar (rtd) and Governor Dapo Abiodun.”

“Osoba’s My Life in the Public Eye, they say, provides a handy measurement of his politics and person, and represents a legacy work that enriches the literature on the makers of the Nigerian state and its media,” the publisher stated.
