Trekking still trending in Nigeria.Again,another Nigerian has joined the trekking club but this time around it happened in the eastern part of Nigeria.

A Nigerian man Joseph Iyoke, who is also a 200-level student of the Open University of Nigeria,has trekked from Aba to Nsukka to honour the Enugu State Governor-elect,Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.Iyoke started his journey on May 4 at about 4:30am from CMS road,Aba.

Speaking to NAN,he said:

“I did it to honour the governor elect of Enugu State; we have been waiting who will become governor of Enugu State from Nsukka for long time.I started on Monday at 4:30 a.m.; it is joyful journey I took, it is full of joy. I was not told by nobody to embark on this journey. If I have
been told by anybody, I could have withdrawn because it is full of stress. I did it to know the
governor-elect.

“There are no good roads and electricity in Nsukka; only the
people from Nsukka know the
needs of Nsukka people. Nsukka
people have been marginalised for a very long; I am happy that
Nsukka man has been elected
governor of Enugu State. This small signpost on my hand were
many when I started this long
trekking, I dropped many of them
along the roads I passed. At night, I look for where to sleep in order to continue the journey by 4:30 a.m the next day.”

On arrival in Nsukka,he was received by Mr Paschal Ugwu,Director-General,
Youth to Youth Campaign for the
governor-elect.Mr Paschal praised the trekker for supporting the governor-elect in his little way by embarking on such a stressful plight.

“It is not an easy task; it shows the governor-elect as man of the
people. At the appropriate time, he will be taken to the governor-elect for special hand shake, as
Ugwuanyi has been informed of
what Iyoke did to honour him.”

So who is the next person to trek?Nigerians and their trekking things.
