Chief Agbo Aje, the avaricious head candidate to be re-elected as the Senate President, is certain he will emerge victorious. Bathing in deference and veneration, his political triumph is already guaranteed, the only outlier to his domination being the acquisition of Ofu Forest. For Chief Aje, the forest is trove of monetary gain, an addition to his successful palm oil refinery business, but Obande Ofu, the owner of the sacred land, refuses to sell.
Powerful and tragic, Where is My Daughter explores the tensions between tradition and modernity in contemporary Nigeria. Following both the families of Chief Aje and Obande Ofu, the novel portrays social injustice in a war against corruption and modernisation, tied together by the feud of Ofu Forest.
