Nyombi Solomon Ignatius, the Late Hon. Peter Nyombi’s Son and author of his biography said that he authored the book to keep his father’s legacy alive and clear the lies that were being told about his father.

 

 

“There is a side of my Dad that many people never knew about. He never wanted to respond to most of the issues in the media but he would often kneel down and pray. He regularly visited his constituency in Nakasongola to meet his people and listen to them,” Solomon said.

 

 

He noted that the vision to write the book began when his father was still alive and he kept encouraging him to write until he went to be with the Lord in 2018.
