Nwankwo said Sambo will be at the event as a guest of honour while Wike will chair the occasion. He also added that Fayose and Ekweremadu will attend the event as keynote speakers.

The book will also be reviewed by the deputy vice chancellor of the Federal University, Otuoke, Professor Teddy Adias.

Nwankwo said: “The former president himself, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, will attend the book launch as special guest of honour, while the former military governor of old Rivers State, King Alfred Diete Spiff, will be the royal father of the day.

“The reason I wrote the book in honour of the former president, Jonathan, is to chronicle his achievements in office during the six years he served in the nation’s highest office. It is also to provide the leadership compass for Nigerians as the 2019 elections draw near.

“The book in its own small way, is to contribute to nation-building, which is expected to inspire other Niger Deltans and indeed Nigerians to aim higher in their endeavours.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a pro-Buhari group had said that the former president should be docked for alleged corrupt practices.

The Buhari Media Support Group said Nigerians still remembered that the looting of treasury was done under the government of Jonathan.
