Aby zachytila podstatu této jedinečné historické události v Nigérii, tato kniha zdůrazňuje následný růst a vývoj obrovského hnutí odboje proti arbitrárnímu vojenskému režimu, který se projevil vznikem mnoha rozličných národních hnutí bojujících za demokracii a lidská práva. Mezi jinými k nim patří Kampaň za demokracii (CD), Národní demokratická koalice (NADECO), a Jednotná demokratická fronta Nigérie (UDFN). Intenzivní politický aktivismus a neutuchající agitace těchto populistických skupin v 90 letech vedly v roce 1993 k úpadku režimu Bagabindy a nakonec pomohly k návratu k demokratickému vládnutí a ustanovení Čtvrté nigerijské republiky v roce 1999.

Capturing the essence of this unique historical event in Nigeria, this book highlights the consequential growth and development of a formidable resistance movement against arbitrary military rule in the country, manifested in the emergence of various national pro-democracy and human rights activist groups. Among these were the Campaign for Democracy (CD), the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), and the United Democratic Front of Nigeria (UDFN). The intense political activities and unyielding agitation of these populist groups in the 1990’s ultimately led to the downfall of the Babangida regime in 1993 and eventually paved the way for the return to democratic governance in the country and the establishment of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic in 1999.
