TO SAINT PATRICK

It's the year 2003 in an 'alternate Nigeria' - a prominent member of the NPN political party, veteran journalist Chief Johnson, has just been murdered. Two small time crooks are found with a bag full of his bloody clothes. They will take the fall to assuage the public, although some evidence suggests they may just be innocent... Is it politics as usual? To Saint Patrick rewrites Nigerian political history, presenting the reader with a series of 'what ifs': what if Major-General Murtala Mohammed had survived the 1976 attempt on his life, and had run for a 2nd term?; What if Babangida was simply on the sidelines — an honourable gentleman?; What if our democracy was healthy? A beautifully written tale of adventure, sci-fi, intrigue, and a dash of love, To Saint Patrick, by EGHOSA IMASUEN, is a must read.
