Man Trekking For Buhari Arrives In Abuja, Too Few Details On His Journey by harmeyd: 6:16pm On Apr 21, 2015
A 33 year old Hashimu Suleiman, who trekked from
Lagos to Abuja to celebrate the victory of the
President-Elect Muhammadu Buhari arrived today, to
a rousing crowd of Abuja residents who trooped out
to catch a glimpse of him.

He arrived to Abuja around 5pm, and was in the
company of security operatives protecting him from
overzealous fans looking to take photographs with
Mr. Suleiman.
Hashimu Suleiman vowed to embark on a solo trek
from Lagos to Abuja if All Progressives Congress
(APC) presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari
emerged as the winner of the March 28th general
election.
Suleiman’s arrival in Abjua caused traffic jams along
the Kubwa expressway where thousands of fans
gathered to see him.
Speaking to the Journalists in the midst of crowd
Suleiman said that he wanted to fulfill a promise he
made two years ago. “I made a promise for this
mission to show my love for the leader of the
masses, General Muhammadu Buhari and for the 13
days journey I have embarked upon, I have
condemned five pairs of canvass shoes.”
However, there are questions that Suleiman did not
address to the reporters who interviewed him upon
his arrival to Abuja.
Ahmad Salkida, who witnessed Mr. Suleiman’s arrival
to Abuja, said that “I am not good at maths or
physics but did Suleiman use a compass or other
modern equipments to track his movements?”
“What is the expert accound on the number of hours
a man like Suleiman needs to cover such a distance?”
he added.
Hashimu Suleiman told reporters at the scene that
the journey took 13 days. However he did not provide
important details on the time he left Lagos or the
going away celebrations he may have had.
Significantly, Mr. Suleiman also did not explain his
walking and resting schedule along the arduous
746Km journey, which would be more than a 9 hour
drive by car.
Mr. Suleiman also did not explain the people he met
along his more than two week walk, or where he
stayed during the journey.
President-Elect Buhari does not know Mr. Hashimu,
but he promised to see upon his arrival to Abuja. As
at time of filling this report he was being led into the
City Center by an unprecedented crowd who
accompanied and policemen who are controlling the
crowd around him.
