Hashimu Suleiman, who trekked from Lagos to Abuja to celebrate the victory of the President-Elect Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, arrived yesterday evening.

The 33-year-old had promised to embark on a solo trek from Lagos to Abuja if the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Buhari emerged winner of the 2015 presidential election.

Hashimu, who hails from Katsina State, where the president-elect comes from, arrived Lapai in Niger state three days ago amidst a befitting welcome from the people of the state. He lodged at the Lapai palace and had to pass two nights there to treat injuries to his legs caused by the long trek.

His arrival in Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Monday caused traffic jam along the Kubwa expressway where hundreds of people gathered to see him. According to an eyewitness, bike men were busy displaying their riding skills while onlookers stood by to give him a rousing welcome.

Speaking to journalists, 'The Buharian Traveler' said that he wanted to fulfill 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.

"I made adequate financial provisions for cross-country trek, but since my journey started, I haven't spent anything from the money since I've been warmly welcomed in every town or village I've had passed."

Hashimu proceeded to the APC secretariat, where has been given a flag of victory.

"Thank you Nigerians. I arrived safely in Abuja as promised. Sai Buhari," he said.
