“I was erroneously arrested in 1995 for a Coup and I was detained for Seven months. My Wife never doubted my integrity. I was later exonerated and a Senior Colleague of mine told me that truly I married my wife, because she stood firm and kept on saying she trusted me that I can never plan a Coup.

“The prayers of our wives have sustained us to this present level. What Mrs Abimbola Ogunbiyi has done is that she has given voice, light and print to what our wives stand for”.

The 237 Page Book with 10 Chapters and Two Forewords written by Rear Admiral Itunu and Victoria Irabor was reviewed by Kunle Kasumu of Channels Book Club.
