FIVE MEN VOW TO TREK TO SAUDI ARABIA FOR BUHARI

FIVE men have vowed to trek from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia to celebrate the victory of the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, in the March 28 presidential poll.

Speaking with newsmen in Bauchi on Sunday, the five men. Mohammed Inuwa, 45; Dahiru Aminu, 33; Abdullahi Usseini, 45; Abubakar Danjuma, 45; and Kabiru Saleh , 35, explained that their decision to embark on the foot journey was fuelled by their undying love for the Buhari.
Speaking on their behalf, Inuwa said, “He has tried to be president for 12 years, but Allah did not make it to be possible.
“We believe he always won, because, he had the support of the majority. This time around, Allah has given him the power and so, we decided to trek to
Mecca by road to register our unflinching support to General Buhari”
They said they were ready to give their lives for the mission, but “we pray Allah will protect and guide us because we are committed to show our appreciation to General Buhari.”
The men said they had consulted widely with families and friends and had made adequate preparations for the journey, which they estimated would take them at least three months and would see them transverse countries of Chad, Sudan before reaching their destination in Mecca.
The men said that they hoped to begin their trek on May 30, a day after Buhari’s swearing-in and asked Nigerians to pray for them to succeed in their mission
