The Ibadan-based man, Suleiman Hashimu, spent 18 days trekking from Lagos to Abuja.
The man, who vowed to trek from Lagos to Abuja if General Muhammadu Buhari wins the March 28 Presidential election to celebrate his victory, has finally met the President-elect.
The Ibadan-based man, Suleiman Hashimu, met Buhari in Abuja on Friday, April 24, 2015.
Hashimu spent 18 days trekking from Lagos to Abuja.
He narrates his experience; "I
made a promise because of the love I have for Mr. President that if
Buhari should win the 2015 elections, I will trek from Lagos to Abuja
which I have done. I thank God that I made a promise and I fulfilled the
promise. I passed through Kwara and Niger states to Abuja. I was
trekking from 6.00am to 6.00pm and anywhere I find myself when it is
6.00pm, I pass the night there.I spent 18 days from Lagos to Abuja.
“Once
I found myself inside the bush by 6.00pm and I managed to continue the
trek till 9.00pm to a nearby village. I made this promise two years ago.
I am based in Ibadan and I started my journey from Lagos because Lagos
is the most popular city in Nigeria and I started from Berger junction
in Lagos. I am not bothered about what people think. It is a promise
between me and my God. I don’t want anybody to believe me. I left Lagos
because I made a promise. Right from Kwara state, I never walked alone
for five kilometres. People always walk with me to the next village. I
work with a construction company based in Ibadan.” he said.
