On the surface, the book appears to be Abdullahi's story, but in telling his story, it becomes other people’s stories as well. “Nobody’s story has been as intricately connected with mine in the 20 years that this book covers as Senator Bukola Saraki’s… For most of the journey, I walked under his shadow… Therefore, readers will find that, to a large extent, this book is his story as well,” Abdullahi writes. But in a lot of ways, the book is more Saraki’s story than the memoirist claims.
