Suleman Hashimu the man who is currently trecking from Lagos to Abuja in fufillment of his promise to honour president-elect Muhammadu Buhari's election victory on March 28 has been assured by a businessman that he will be lodging at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel upon his arrival to Abuja Friday or Saturday.
Hashimu, 33, is on a solo trek from Lagos to Abuja to mark retired General Muhammadu Buhari’s electoral victory. He arrived Lapai in Niger State and is expected to proceed to Lambata town en route Abuja today. He lodged at the Lapai palace and had to pass two nights there to treat injuries on his legs caused by the long trek from Lagos.
Suleiman, who started the trek about 13 days ago, was given a royal welcome in Bida and Agaie towns in Niger State as a crowd of admirers, including the emir of Agaie, Alhaji Yusuf Nuhu, gave the traveller a warm reception in his palace.
Asked why he embarked on such a mission, Suleiman said he wanted 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.
