Kwankwaso biography of abraham
•
In her readable – almost pleasurable – book titled “Leadership: In Turbulent Times,” Doris Kearns Goodwins enumerated four American presidents adjudged to be the most transformational. Although the author didn’t directly address it, I found something common among the presidents – other than their transformational qualities.
Interestingly, two of the four presidential front-runners in Nigeria’s 2023 election share this qualification.
Goodwins did a detailed biography of Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR), Theodore Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson. She compared and contrasted the kvartet and extracted the secrets to their effectiveness.
SPONSOR AD
It can’t be their background, she argues, because they shared dissimilar upbringings.

His political career which debuted in 2003 is arguably the most inspiring in recent Nigeria’s history - that of President Goodluck Jonathan included.
The long journey to his fortuitous political debut twelve years ago started, of course, fourty eight years earlier when he was born to Malam Shekarau and Malama Maryam in Kano. The mother, who died in 1999, was from Gundumawa village of Gezawa Local Government of the state.
