Speaking during the public presentation of the book: "There reflections of a public man", written by Alhaji Hamzat, the governor described the author as a great leader that is "fiercely loyal and committed to democratic values". He said Alhaji Hamzat as a true democrat has scarified a lot for the development of democratic institutions in the country. According to him "the success of such political organisations as Primerose and Justice Forum is attributable to the flexibility and leadership qualities of Alhaji-Hamazat". Gov. Tinubu compared Alhaji Hamzat with Vice-president Atiku, saying they were both men of high moral standard, integrity, humility, very transparent and committed to the Nigerian nation. He called on other Nigerian political leaders to imbibe these qualities as exemplified by the two men. The book’s reviewer, Dr. Kunle Lawal, who is also the Commissioner for Education, commanded the efforts of Alhaji Hamzat and said the 12-chapter book truly captured the life of the author. Vice-president Atiku who was represented by Chief Akin Kereke-Ekun on the occasion said the author has made a mark in the political arena. Said he: "if Alhaji Hamzat has really contributed so much to the development of political institutions and democratic values then he could as well be described as an icon of the Nigerian nation". Speaking on the motive behind his writing the book, Alhaji Hamzat said he realised that "life is a journey and at 72, I have nothing left to do but to reflect on the experience of my life". He explained that the book was written as his own personal statement of life so that others may read and learn adding that "it was a personal observation of events presented truly as perceived". � 2004 @ Champion Newspapers Limited (All Right Reserved).
