Two years ago, he promised that if Muhammadu Buhari won the presidential election, he would walk from whatever part of the country he was to the federal capital territory, Abuja. Today he is doing it.
A 33-year-old man, Hasheem Suleiman, who embarked on a walk from Lagos to Abuja to fulfil the promise he made, has reached Niger State where he was warmly received by royal fathers.
Suleiman, who started the trek about 13 days ago, was received in Bida towns of Niger State by Etsu Nupe, Alhaji Yahaya Abubakar, at his Wadata Palace, and the emir of Agaie, Alhaji Yusuf Nuhu.
He arrived at Agaie, a distance of about 50 kilometres from Bida, where he was hosted by the Etsu Nupe and hailed by a crowd of admirers.
Also at Agaie, a crowd of admirers, including the emir of Agaie, Alhaji Yusuf Nuhu, gave the traveller a warm reception in his palace.
On why he embarked on the mission, Suleiman said it was to fulfil a promise he made two years ago.
“I made the promise for this mission to show my love for the leader of the masses, General Muhammadu Buhari, and for the 13-day journey I have embarked upon, I have condemned five pairs of canvass shoes.”
He noted that on setting out, he had made adequate financial provisions for cross-country trek, but that since the journey started, he had not spent anything from the money since he had been warmly welcomed in every town or village he had passed.
