Stepping Out Bisi Ogunwale

I am not 50years old but I ran a political campaign to unseat an incumbent in order to occupy the Oke-Ogun Constituency seat in Kwara State House of Assembly. You don't get to see 30-year-old people contesting for political office in Nigeria. I have done it, though unsuccessful and here is my story. Stepping Out gives an account of some of the experiences of a young professional that decided to walk an uncharted path of partisan politics. It also gives recommendations on some of the major reforms that Nigerian political parties need to go through to ensure inclusiveness of the younger population in the political process. And lastly, there is a part that tells specifically on what is required of you if ever decide to run for any political office at ay level whatsoever. If you ever want to get involved in politics - contesting for a political office or supporting candidates for office - this is a book you must read!
