Dr. Ope Banwo, author of the highly anticipated political and historical book, Kingmaker of Muguland has revealed why he cancelled the launch of the book.
Originally set to be launched today Sunday, November 17, via a virtual Zoom event, Banwo cancelled the event citing reasons.
In a statement released and signed by the author, he informed readers, supporters, and the public at large of the difficult decision.
Banwo, said that the decision was taken due to emerging considerations and driven by internal considerations alone and not as a result of external influences, pressures or coercion, added that no governmental or political entities played a role in his cancellation of the book launch.
The author clarified that while the public launch event for Kingmaker of Muguland had been canceled, the Chronicles of Muguland series itself remains fully active. He added that he would still give away the tshirts, books and caps meant to be shared during the cancelled launch.
“This ambitious 10-book project, based on the fictional nation of Muguland, will continue as planned. I am excited to confirm that the next book in the series, The Children of Anger, is scheduled for release in December.
“As always, The Kingmaker of Muguland is a work of historical fiction. While inspired by broad themes from real life, it does not depict any actual events or individuals, and any resemblance to persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
“The Muguland Show will hold today as usual and we will still give away the tshirts and books and caps promised.
“All we are cancelling is the launch event. The show is not cancelled.”
Banwo encouraged all interested readers to secure their copies directly through the official sales page.
