By Niyi Ogungbola
A 30-year-old Fulani man,Mallam Husseini Lawal who has embarked on trekking from Abuja heading to Lagos for All Progressives Congress (APC) National leader,Asiwaju Hameed Bola Tinubu to contest 2023 Presidential election has arrived Ibadan,the Oyo State capital.
Lawal, who hails from Durum town in Kabo Local Government Area of Kano State,had embarked on his journey since Wednesday 9th of March at excertly 11:27am to press home his demand for Tinubu to contest 2023 presidential election.
He added that his believe is reinforced based on the fact that Tinubu single-handedly transformed Lagos and its residents during his time as governor from 1999 to 2007.
Asked to know how he has been with him wearing only one pair of clothe and shoe since 9th of March,he said that,he left Abuja with four shirts, two trousers, and two pairs of shoes.
He added that one of the shoes had got spoilt on the road and he had thrown it away.
He explained that he has been feeding on the generosity of some people he met in villages and communities that he passed through between Abuja and Ibadan, as well as truck drivers.
He stated further that he has been sleeping in mosques that accommodated him at night.
He added also that, he would wash his clothes in any community he found water and continue the journey the following morning.
Lawal arrived Ibadan exactly 20 days after leaving Abuja for Lagos.
Lawal who stopped briefly at the NUJ Press Centre in Ibadan to let journalists know that he was determined to complete the mission has also left for Lagos.
His words: “I am a Fulani cattle rearer , who had trekked with his cows from Kano to Niger Republic, and from Niger to Sokoto and back to Kano on foot. So, trekking from Abuja to Lagos is nothing to me, whether you will believe me or not.”
