President Bola Tinubu, former President Goodluck Jonathan and former Niger Republic President Mahamadou Issoufou are expected to jointly preside over the public presentation of ‘Muhammadu Buhari: The Authorised Biography,’ a three-volume work on the life and presidency of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, on Thursday, November 19, at the Nigerian Army Conference Centre and Suites, Abuja.

Chairman of the Planning Committee, Suleiman Adamu, made the disclosure on Wednesday at a press conference in Abuja.

He said, “The event will be chaired by a former president of the Republic of Niger, His Excellency Mahamadou Issoufou, chairing the public presentation on 19 November 2026, and the chief presenter is also a former president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Dr Goodluck Jonathan.

“And we’re also expecting the current president, His Excellency Bola Tinubu, to be present as guest of honour.

“All these we are expecting to be a public presentation, and as I had said, we are expecting people from across all political parties, from across all political parties.”

He stressed that the occasion was deliberately designed to transcend political boundaries.

“We are inviting everyone across the board, across parties. It is not an APC or an ABC or a political party event.

“All Buhari’s friends, associates, those in government, those in the opposition, these are people who have interacted significantly with him at various stages, and much of this is also captured in the work,” he stated.

The three volumes titled ‘Buhari: The Phenomenon,’ ‘Buhari: The Presidency’ and ‘Buhari: The Reckoning ‘ were written by the Chief biographer and Founder of May Publishing Limited, Dr Udu Yakubu.
