WTF !!! Man Walks From Lagos To Abuja To Honour Buhari’s Victory

An indigene of Katsina state promised to trek from Lagos to Abuja if General Muhammadu Buhari from the All Progressives Congress wins 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 Ibadan around 6pm.

The traveler vowed two years ago to trek from where ever he is to the capital of Nigeria, Abuja if General Buhari emerges the winner of the poll in 2015.

The distance, which according to Google maps, is over 700km long, and hot, is what this man plans to cover by foot.

Hasheem went to get a police report to allow for the smoothness of his journey but couldn’t wait and so, the D.P.O. gave him his phone number. Despite several warnings from friends and at the same time, motivation from 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, some people escorted him for some miles and he stopped at Oloru. He got so much hospitality from Jebba and unlike other villages he met a lot of people who had heard of the man.

About 20 people set off with him from Jebba and after some miles, about 18 went back but the rest two where strong-minded. They met with armed robbers close to Makwa and luckily, he already met one of them in Jebba and he even gave 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.

The people welcomed him as real hero. They take pictures with him, ask for autograph, help him, go some distance with him, sing songs for him.

Hasheem doesn’t know for sure if Buhari knows of him but several of his support organizations do. He intends to reach Abuja by May 27, and celebrate with the new president at his inauguration ceremony.

It should be noted that former military ruler was announced as president-elect of Nigeria on April 1.

He has become the first opposition aspirant to win a presidential poll in the country.

Buhari overcame current leader Goodluck Jonathan by more than 2.5 million votes.
