Buhari stressed that the fight against insecurity, was one that must be won, saying that Nigeria must be peaceful and that Nigerians must live in safety and feel secure.
The President commended the author of the book for his efforts.
“It is a delight that he put down the experience he acquired; as President of the Senate as well as Chairman of the National Assembly for others to benefit from.
“The book will be very useful to those who will like to study the problems the country had; at that period of its history,” he said.
Buhari said that there was no nation on earth without a problem.
“Nigeria’s challenges are not insurmountable,” he said.
He said that his administration has completed projects abandoned by past administrations; and has also embarked on infrastructure development across the country; including rail and road construction.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, said that Nnamani’s lack of desperation stood him out among politicians in the country.
He said that Nnamani had the desire to serve, but was not desperate for power; also adding that the launch of the book has marked the beginning of yet another life for him.
