Former president Hifikepunye Pohamba says founding president Sam Nujoma has made an immense contribution to his biography.
The former president was speaking at the launch of his biography in Windhoek on Monday.
The book, written by Ellen Namhila and titled ‘The Footprints of Hifikepunye Pohamba – ‘Ondjila Eyi A Enda’’, narrates the life of Pohamba and his contribution to the independence of Namibia.
Pohamba said he and Nujoma have walked a journey together, contributing to the independence of Namibia.
“I would like to express my gratitude to my colleague, the founding president and father of the Namibian nation, Sam Nujoma, with whom I have shared many trials and tribulations, as you will discover while reading the book,” he said.
Pohamba remarked that their journey through the liberation struggle and post-independence challenges was one of shared endurance.
“It is perhaps no surprise that I was entrusted with the immense responsibility of filling his shoes, succeeding him as the second president of our nation. This role has been deeply challenging,” he said.
“Comrade Nujoma provided a foreword to this document,” he said.
“That’s my leader, the founding president, and I also extend my gratitude to the other leaders,” said Pohamba.
Pohamba said Nujoma has been key towards his life achievements.
