33yr old Suleman Hasheem, the man trekking from Lagos to Abuja has received four separate royal receptions in Niger State.He arrived Bida four days ago and was treated to a royal reception by Etsu Nupe, Alhaji Yahaya Abubukar. While there, he passed two nights before proceeding to the next town and soldiers had to be deployed to disperse a crowd of locals trooping in to catch a glimpse of the 33-year-old man.
Two years ago, Hasheem said, he made a promise to trek from Lagos to Abuja if Buhari wins the then-upcoming election, saying the purpose of terminating his journey in Abuja is where he thinks he could see the retired General and congratulate him.
Hasheem, who grew up in Osun and Lagos, now lives in Ibadan where he is working with a construction company.
He is currently on his way to Suleja, en route Abuja from Lambata town in Niger State, where he was equally accorded royal receptions in Agaie and Lapai where he made a stop-over. It was also gathered that a royal reception awaits him in Suleja.
Hasheem told Weekly Trust that his decision to embark on the mission was borne out of happiness he feels for General Muhammadu Buhari becoming a leader for the masses.
He said in Bida four days ago that after 13 days of trekking, he had so far worn-out five pairs of shoes with a new pair just bought for him by a good Samaritan. He showed Weekly Trust the blisters on his feet, which made him pass two days in Bida, so as to treat himself.
Hasheem said before embarking on his mission, he ensured that he was financially equipped but to his amazement, up to the time he arrived Bida, he did not have to spend a single kobo from his pocket because of kind, generous receptions he has been receiving.
At the time of filing this report, Hasheem was said to be between Lambata and Suleja, en route Abuja.
