Suleiman Hashimu (pictured in red) had promised to trek from Lagos to Abuja if
Buhari won the presidential election and yes, he kept to his word. Many skeptics
have argued the authenticity of his claim as they believe he covered the
distance in a shorter time than required. Oh well, bottom line is, he said he
did and Buhari believes him and they have met. Relating
his journey to General Buhari, Suleiman said;
"I made a promise because of the love I have for Mr. President that
if Buhari should win the 2015 elections, I will trek from Lagos to Abuja which
I have done. I thank God that I made a promise and I fulfilled the promise. I
passed through Kwara and Niger states to Abuja. I was trekking from 6.00am to
6.00pm and anywhere I find myself when it is 6.00pm, I pass the night there.I
spent 18 days from Lagos to Abuja.
Once I found myself inside the bush by 6.00pm and I managed to continue
the trek till 9.00pm to a nearby village. I made this promise two years ago. I
am based in Ibadan and I started my journey from Lagos because Lagos is the
most popular city in Nigeria and I started from Berger junction in Lagos. I am
not bothered about what people think. It is a promise between me and my God. I
don’t want anybody to believe me. I left Lagos because I made a promise. Right
from Kwara state, I never walked alone for five kilometres. People always walk
with me to the next village. I work with a construction company based in
Ibadan.”
How interesting! It appears your effort was worth it after
all since you get to meet with the president. Anyway, please stay happy guys
and don’t forget to share it with the world. Xoxo
