Mr. Suleiman Hashimu, the
Lagos to Abuja trekker finally met with the president-elect, General
Mohammadu Buhari in Abuja on friday evening.
The trekker said he passed through Kwara to Niger and
then to Abuja. Though his story may sound incredible, Hashimu said he
didn’t care about what people would say of him, stressing that what
mattered to him was the fulfillment of his promise to God and himself.
He said: “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 wonder if Buhari wil settle him and if this whole trekking stuff is not a get rich stunt.
