EiE Announces Book Presentation, Fund Raising Auction

By Eric Ojo

Enough is Enough Nigeria, a network of individuals and organisations committed to instituting a culture of good governance and public accountability in Nigeria through active citizenship, has announced the pubic presentation of its book and fund raising action.

EiE was an integral part of the #OccupyNigeria movement in 2012; co-leads the ongoing #OpenNASS campaign that started in 2013; launched the #OfficeOfTheCitizen campaign in 2015 to mark its 5th anniversary; and started the #OnePerson campaign in 2020 to mark its 10th anniversary.

Entitled, “Footprints: Past. Present. Future”, the book comprises 12 chapters that reflects on its history through the eyes of its founders and partners.

“History beckons on the 12th day of the 12th month in its 12th year, as Enough is Enough Nigeria (EiE) hosts a public presentation of its book”, a statement issued on Thursday by EiE said.  This is as EiE begins a 12-day countdown to the event which will held at Lagos.

Christopher Kolade writes the foreword and the contributors are as diverse as Aisha Yesufu and Tunde Bakare to 2Baba and Seun Onigbinde.

In addition to the book presentation, the event will also feature EiE’s pre-election fundraising auction across art, fashion and photography, with pieces donated by leaders in their respective sectors like Bruce Onabrakpeya, Deola Sagoe and Kelechi Amadi-Obi.

This book, according to a statement, is positioned as a collector’s item because of its unique style of presenting timely information about citizens’ rights and responsibilities in the context of a growing democracy.

 “The time is also strategic as Nigerians take steps towards ensuring all registered voters can select credible candidates; vote without violence and protect their votes on election day, and in the four years that follow by holding public servants accountable”, it added.

Speaking about the event, the Executive Director of EiE, ‘Yemi Adamolekun said: “I am very excited that this book, which is a labour of love over 3 years, is finally here! I am also delighted that our generous donors have once again chosen to support our work with their participation in our pre-election auction
