Following the successful trekking
of Suleiman Hashimu from Lagos
to Abuja , another die-hard
supporter of President-elect,
Muhammadu Buhari, identified
as Abubakar Duduwale is set to
walk from Yola, capital of
Adamawa State to the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja.

Duduwale who is from Yola North
Local Government in Adamawa
State and Chamba by tribe told
newsmen in Yola today as he
commenced his journey that the
adventure was to express his joy
over the emergence of Buhari as
president-elect.
According to the News Agency of
Nigeria, he began the journey at
Yola Gate on Yola-Numan highway
at about 6.30am today. He said he
had wanted to start the journey a
day after the Independent National
Electoral Commission announced
Buhari as the winner of the March
28 presidential election, but noted
that somebody from Lagos pre-
empted him.

“The reason why I am trekking from
Yola to Abuja is to express my joy
and solidarity with President-elect
Muhammadu Buhari.
“I want to trek from Yola to Abuja
to witness the inauguration
ceremony of President-elect,”
Duduwale said.
The other trekker, Hashimu, became
famous when he was spotted in
Lapai in Niger state and got a
befitting welcome from the people
of the state. He stayed at the Lapai
palace for two nights and continued
on his journey.
An Abuja businessman was said to
have paid N550,000 to cover one
week’s accommodation and food
for Suleman Hashimu at the
Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja ahead
of his arrival.

It is worth mentioning,
that Hashimu’s journey has
triggered mixed reactions among
Nigerians.

This is what I call the "Buhari Effect". #an extreme one though#

Not a new thing to those of us in Edo. Our brothers and sisters has travelled by Leg from Edo to Italy and Spain. People having been trekking from Edo to Libya passing through desert and well armed mafia on the way which take them almost 2 months to get to Libya and after that still cross the sea to Italy. Thousands of Edo and Nigerians has been doing this and this Lagos to Abuja is a child play compare to this. I only commend him for keeping to his words but for the labour, it is not a new thing. 

I am not hating here, just trying to tell those from other states who don't know about travelling by Leg to Europe.
