Man Walks From Lagos To Abuja To
Honour Buhari’s Victory-Aliyu Mantafien

A native of Katsina state who promised
to trek from Lagos to Abuja if General
Muhammadu Buhari from the All
Progressives Congress won the
presidential poll, has been seen in Niger
state.
His name is Hasheem Suleiman. He was in
Lagos when Buhari was announced the
president-elect of Nigeria. Hasheem left
Lagos at about 5am the next day and
arrived in Ibadan around 6pm.

Buhari’s Transition Team
The traveller vowed two years ago to trek
from whereever he was to the capital of
Nigeria, Abuja, if General Buhari emerges
the winner of the poll in 2015.
The planned journey is long and hot:
according to Google maps, it is over
700km.
Hasheem went to get a police report to
allow for an unimpeded journey but could
not wait and so the DPO gave him his
phone number. Despite several warnings
from friends, and at the same time
encouraged by friends and loved ones, he
continued from Ibadan to Oyo. Then from
Oyo to Ogbomoso. And from Ogbomoso
to Ilorin with much welcome at every
stop.
At Ilorin, people escorted him for several
miles until he stopped at Oloru. He
received much hospitality in Jebba, where
unlike in other villages he met people who
had heard of him.
About 20 people set off with him from
Jebba and after some miles 18 turned
back, but the other two were more
strong-minded. They encountered armed
robbers close to Makwa, although
fortunately he had already met one of
them in Jebba, and the would-be robber
ended up giving him 200 Naira for pure
water.
He continued his trip from Mkwa to Kudu
and then to Kutigi. He is now in Kutigi and
will continue his journey to Bida
tomorrow by the grace of God.
