A group of five married men have vowed to trek from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia to celebrate the victory of the president-elect, Mr Muhammadu Buhari in the March 28 presidential poll.
Speaking with newsmen in Bauchi on Sunday, the 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 fueled by the immense love they have for the incoming leader.
Mohammed Inuwa, who spoke on behalf of the group, 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.”
They disclosed that they have consulted widely with families and friends and have made adequate preparations for the journey which they estimated will take them at least, three months and will see them transverse countries of Chad, Sudan before reaching their destination in Mecca.
The men said that they hope to begin their trekking on May 30, a day after the swearing-in of the incoming administration and asked Nigerians to pray for them to succeed in their mission.
