Three men, who trekked to Yola in honour
of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, are now
stranded in Yola.
The men, Salihu Jibrin, Aliyu Adamu and
Abubakar Suleiman, who spoke to newsmen
Saturday in Yola, said since their arrival they were
unable to see their mentor, Atiku.
They said all they needed was to see Atiku or his
representatives to deliver their messages and go
back to their various destinations.
“I trekked for 38 days all the way from Lagos to
Yola to see Atiku in view of his role over APC
victory in the general election but up to now I
was unable to see him.
“I am now stranded with no money to go back; at
times I sleep in motor park or squat with good
Samaritans,” Jibrin said .
Adamu, who rode bicycle from Kaduna to Yola,
said he spent eight days on the way.
“I want to thank the Secretary, Nigeria Union of
Journalists (NUJ), Adamawa Council, Mr Baba
Zare, who had been assisting me since arrival to
cope with the difficult situation I found myself.
“I want to meet Atiku before finding my way back
to Kaduna,” Adamu said.
On his part, Suleiman, who trekked from Shelleng
town, Adamawa, to Yola said he had been
squatting from one relation to the other while
waiting for an opportunity to see Atiku before
going back home.
