Adnan remarked, “I have meticulously documented my latest campaign experiences in this revised book. The first edition, published in 2019, focused on my journey as a candidate of the United People Congress (UPC). However, this revised edition, scheduled for launch at a later date, delves into the evolving issues in our elections and campaign commitments. In this revised edition, I delve into the challenges I faced during the elections, from securing the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) ticket to contesting in the primaries, where I received only two votes despite numerous promises from various stakeholders.”
