Dr Ope Banwo, lawyer and owner of Stingomania Label, is ready to unveil his latest literary creation, ‘The Kingmaker of Muguland’.
Described as provocative and hard-hitting, it is a political thriller exposing the dark side of leadership. The novel’s central figure, the enigmatic Kingmaker, operates in the shadows, pulling strings that decide the fates of leaders and innocent citizens.
He appears to meet his match in Paul Igwe, a reformist turned reluctant revolutionary who challenges the corrupt and entrenched power structures of Muguland. This is an uncommon feat in a country where assassinations are rife for challengers of the status quo.
With its November 3 release date fast approaching, the novel has already garnered critical acclaim. Those who have had a sneak peek describe it as an honest, unflinching portrayal of Muguland’s power play, with elites jostling to capture its soul.
The book highlighting the need for fairness, equality, and proper restructuring contains thinly veiled references to real Nigerian politicians and power brokers. Its relevance to current political issues will engage readers and spark meaningful conversations.
“This isn’t just a book; ‘The Kingmaker of Muguland’ is a ticking time bomb,” said an early reviewer. “It tears the mask off the so-called leaders who hide behind fake promises and exposes their true faces as ruthless, power-obsessed, and dangerous.
