"I
made a promise because of the love I have for Mr. President that if
Buhari should win the 2015 elections, I will trek from Lagos to Abuja
which I have done. I thank God that I made a promise and I fulfilled the
promise. I passed through Kwara and Niger states to Abuja. I was
trekking from 6.00am to 6.00pm and anywhere I find myself when it is
6.00pm, I pass the night there.I spent 18 days from Lagos to Abuja."

Once I found myself inside the bush by 6.00pm and I
managed to continue the trek till 9.00pm to a nearby village. I made
this promise two years ago.
I am based in Ibadan and I started my
journey from Lagos because Lagos is the most popular city in Nigeria and
I started from Berger junction in Lagos. I am not bothered about what
people think. It is a promise between me and my God. I don’t want
anybody to believe me. I left Lagos because I made a promise. Right from
Kwara state, I never walked alone for five kilometres. People always
walk with me to the next village. I work with a construction company
based in Ibadan.”he said
