<p>The man whose dare has brought to limelight, Suleiman Hashimu, the Lagos to Abuja trekker finally met with the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday.</p>
<p>Hashimu had made a personal promise in 2013 that should Buhari contest and win the 2015 presidential elections, he would trek from Lagos to Abuja.</p>
<p>Following Buhari’s victory in the March 28 elections, Hashimu had to fulfill his promise and on Monday, April 20, 2015, he arrived Abuja from Lagos and got a hero’s welcome at the capital city.</p>
<p>Giving details of his journey to the President-elect, Hashimu said he passed through Kwara to Niger and then to Abuja.</p>
<p>“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.</p>
<p>“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.</p>
<p>“Once I found myself inside the bush by 6.00pm and I managed to continue the trek till 9.00pm to a nearby village.</p>
<p>“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.</p>
<p>“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.”</p>
<p>Speaking at the event where he received Hashimu, Buhari congratulated him and thanked God that his health did not fail him.</p>
<p>“I want to congratulate you for making it. He is a young man and he was lucky that his health did not fail him. I also heard so many stories that you wore almost half a dozen pair of shoes. I also understand that there are people who have been quite generous to help you to pay for pair of shoes,” Buhari said.</p>
