President Muhammadu Buhari has said he does not think he will ever write a book and has given reasons why not. The President spoke when he received some Nigerians in his office in the state house recently. According to him, he will not write a book because he does not want to hurt anyone. Buhari said: ''Some people said I should write a book. I don't think I will ever write a book because I don't want to hurt anybody.
