Meanwhile, the author of the book "Legend of Buratai", Dr Sani, revealed that his children were the inspiration behind the literary work.
He told Legit.ng that his children saw Buratai as a role model and admired him whenever they watched him on TV.
Dr Sani said:
"They're inspired by this very man when they see him on TV and I decided to use the Man's life and story to motivate them and embed virtues that I want them to learn in his life since this is the person they want to emulate - let's use his life to tell them a story that can motivate them to achieve more, do more and be better Nigerians."
The book mirrors the life of the ex-army chief as it was laced with a mix of fictional and non-fictional components and other literary appreciations like imageries and narrations.
Similarly, the animated visual of the book containing an action packed scene was also premiered at the book launch.
