Abstract: Albert Chinualumogo Achebe, was born into Igbo family on 16 november 1930 in Ogidi which is now eastern Nigeria. He wrote multiple novels and made tremendous contributions in African literature and is known as Father of African Literature. His first novel, Things Fall Apart, which was written at a time when Britishers were relinquishing rule in Nigeria, reflects on the irredeemable historical rapture made by the arrival of the colonisers, and his fifth novel, written after the end of colonialism era, Anthills of Savannah depicts the harm the authority of Nigerian leaders have done to their own society. Even after Nigeria got complete freedom the situation remained stable. Britishers claimed their responsibility to teach and develop Africa and left it hollow and when Nigeria got freedom the officers who took over the government claimed to restore its foundation and weaken it further through corruption and other undesirable means and the reason behind this downfall is the desire of achieving power for the sake of power which never bears fruit. For the betterment of African society what is needed is not one class overthrowing the other but a leader who can act as a role model and whose ideology encompasses compassion and understanding for all sections of the society. The system cannot make itself work, but leaders with the art of good governance can improve the economic, social and political condition of the African people. It is evident in both of his works that to achieve power one can go at any length which only results in corruption, destruction and loss of values.
Keywords: Power, Ideology, Colonialism, Violence, Devastation, Restoration of Society.
