The Last Term: A Big, Generational Political Epic
Power is never surrendered. It is exposed.
In the corridors of Nigerian politics, where loyalty is transactional and truth is lethal, one secret threatens to collapse an entire system.
When the ruling party announces its decision to back Governor Ben Orunta for a second term, Chief Dango-kingmaker, financier, and architect of power-refuses to applaud. Four years earlier, a promise was made. A covenant sealed in ambition and blood. And now it has been broken.
As whispers resurface about the long-buried murder of Chief Henshaw, a powerful political rival, fear spreads through the elite. A forgotten video. A missing phone. Witnesses who were never meant to survive. What begins as a quiet struggle for succession escalates into a deadly contest of erasure, betrayal, and reckoning.
From shadowy party meetings and brutal state repression to accidental custodians of truth and the slow, patient vengeance of memory, The Last Term is a sweeping political epic that exposes how power is built, protected, and ultimately undone.
This is not a story of heroes and villains-but of systems, complicity, and the terrible cost of silence.
Bold, unflinching, and deeply African in its political insight, The Last Term is a gripping novel about corruption, ambition, and the dangerous illusion that the past can stay buried.
Because in the end, secrets do not die.
They wait.
