Political cartoons, like those by Asukwo, hold a vital place in our democracy. They serve to hold power accountable, expose corruption, and challenge policies while offering a mirror to the society’s flaws. Asukwo’s cartoons do just that – they relentlessly shine a light on the most glaring issues of the Buhari administration, from economic mishaps to the failed anti-corruption agenda.

Through satire, Asukwo shapes public discourse, mobilizing the masses and encouraging active political engagement. His cartoons often expose the gap between promises and actions, highlighting societal consequences and the government’s inability to address pressing concerns.

The foreword by renowned economist and patriot, Atedo Peterside, sets the tone for the book’s importance. Peterside poses questions that capture the essence of Asukwo’s work: Is it thought-provoking? Is it patriotic? Is it educational? In the pages of this book, the answer is undoubtedly “yes.”

With 165 carefully curated cartoons, A General Caught Napping covers everything from Buhari’s handling of the national economy to citizens struggling with daily hardships. These cartoons serve as a mirror to the ongoing governance of President Bola Tinubu, providing a poignant reflection on recurring issues in Nigerian politics.

Asukwo’s pen proves that satire is not only entertaining but an essential tool for shaping the future of political engagement. A General Caught Napping is more than just a book – it’s a powerful commentary on Nigeria’s past and its ongoing political journey.
