O knihe

The story of the little boy from Goniri. Bukar Abba Ibrahim first ran for Governor with only N20,000 (about $3,590) in his bank account in 1992. Yet he defeated well-resourced political heavy weights. How did he do it? In Nigeria it is extremely difficult to succeed in politics without huge amounts of money, bribes and thugs, but Bukar did it. He calls his method, Poorlitics, the politics of the poor, the ability to reach the masses of the poor through practical, project-based, Progressive Political Leadership.
This is the touching story of little Bukar growing up in the rich history and culture of a feudal, colonial Northern Nigerian village. Desperately poor, it is remarkable how he even went to school, not to talk of succeeding so spectacularly as the longest serving Governor in Nigeria. It gives insight into the strategies and intrigues of life and everyday politics in a developing African country from a master of his art. His meteoric rise to become one of the most successful politicians in Nigeria is simply astonishing.
