New lease of life for Dahiru Buba, Dukku man who trekked from Gombe to Abuja for Buhari, as Governor Inuwa Yahaya doles out car, 2 million Naira cash to ardent APC loyalist

It is now a new lease of life for Dahiru Buba, the 50-year old native of Dukku Local Government who trekked from Gombe to Abuja in celebration of President Muhammadu Buhari's victory in 2015 and now suffering from limb ailment, as Gombe state Governor, Alhaji Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya today in Abuja presented a Ford Galaxy ( sharon) Car and sum of two million Naira to the diehard APC supporter.

It will be recalled that the media was recently awash with the story of Dahiru Buba calling on the Government and public spirited individuals to come to his aid after he developed limb complications from a solidarity trek he undertook to celebrate the first term victory of the President.

The Gombe State Governor, Alhaji Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya had earlier directed that Dahiru Buba be taken to the Government House clinic for diagnosis from where he was later referred to a private orthopedic hospital where he was thoroughy examined and placed on medication.

Buba, a commercial driver met with Governor Inuwa Yahaya at the Gombe Governor's Lodge in Abuja.

He was accompanied by the member representing Dukku North Constituency in the state House of Assembly, Hon. Nasiru Abdulkarim and the Special Adviser to the Governor on Legislative Matters, Hon. Hamma- Adama Dottuwa Ali Kumo as well as other Assembly members and stalwarts.

Governor Yahaya while presenting the gifts said,
"For taking the pains and risks to show solidarity with Mr. President and our great party, people like Buba should not be neglected.

" By embarking on that solidarity trek, Dahiru Buba had shown patriotism and support, he should therefore be appreciated and encouraged".

"So on learning about his condition, first I directed that he should be taken to the hospital for proper medical attention and I am happy that he is now better after undergoing his first round of treatment ".

Secondly we are now capping it up with a support that we hope can sustain him. Since he is a Driver, we are giving him this Ford Galaxy Sharon so he can use it as commercial transport vehicle to sustain his livelihood. We are also giving him the sum of 2 million Naira cash to enable him purchase a house within his locality since I learnt he is a tenant. So as far as we are concerned in APC and in this administration, no genuine effort or sacrifice will go unrewarded no matter how long it takes".

" So on behalf of our dear President and our beloved party, we say a big thank you for your show of support and solidarity".

In his response, Malam Dahiru Buba, who was visibly emotional, expressed appreciation to Mr. President and Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya for recognising him and coming to his aid.

He said even with his earlier challenges after he returned from his 15 day journey, his spirit had never been dampened in his love for the President and his party.

Buba promised to use the vehicle and the money judiciously, saying the gesture truly motivated and spurred him as a loyal party man and as a breadwinner of his family.

His format pay an after 5 years. Can I be patient for 5 years like this. Even the president gave him 10K lol

The governor is mad

In as much as this half-witted behavior by the Governor will be applauded by many, I feel that many people in the state (especially the IDPs) need this money, and support more than this "Lazy Buharist" who inflicted suffering upon himself by trying to be a modern-day "Pheidippides".

Northern Nigeria

This people celebrate madness at all times! What are they trying to encourage?

Rufia

So they've finally rewarded this man for stupidity

I trust he would marry 2rd wife with this money

Wow, a closed mouth is a closed destiny

I may consider trekking in 2023! I'm hoping i wont trek in vain

RedNStripes:
Trekking finally pays off.

Judging by the fact that his mentor, Buhari, has three more years to give Nigerians economy- sinking policies, that the man has no job or trade and that he has 2 wives and 7 children, the reward given to him won't change his life much.
He needs to trek to Abuja once more and tell Buhari that almost all of his policies are killing Nigerians. Enabling environment is all we need to thrive and not senseless palliatives.

Finally is clout chasing has paid off.

The idiot will be back to poverty in no time

See pained people.

You yabbed him when he trekked. You tabbed him more when he was ignored.

Now, you wish him ill after his act got him recognition and reward.

Many of you are simply evil.

Misplaced Priority

Those mocking him ended up helping him
