Senate President Bukola Saraki has described Jonathan’s transition hours as Nigeria’s and Africa’s finest hours.
“You have taken our democracy to a high level and we won’t allow it to come down below that level.
“The spirit of the book is that no ambition deserves anybody’s blood. We shall not go below the standard you set; instead, we will go beyond it,” Saraki said on Tuesday during the public presentation of a book published by former President Goodluck Jonathan titled, My Transition Hours.
Also, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, said Jonathan was worthy of being celebrated.
“There was confusion and silence in the country until he decided not out of compulsion to make that call. We celebrate you.
“Those who failed to do so are not being celebrated. That singular previous call was what brought our democracy to maturity. Nobody will ever change that,” he said.
He announced that the House would buy 400 copies of the book at a price to be determined and communicated later.
Former PDP ministers also bought 100 copies for N10m.
The book presenter, Gen Theophilus Danjuma, who was represented by Gen Martin Luther Agwai, reminded all Nigerians of the importance of peace and the danger of war.
“Where there is no justice, inclusiveness and security of lives and property, peace eludes such society,” he said.
He bought five copies of the book for N10m.
