The trio who had set out on a trekking spree in honour of the former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar are now stranded in Yola.
While granting interviews to newsmen in Yola on Saturday, June 13, 2015 the men identified as Salihu Jibrin, Aliyu Adamu and Abubakar Suleiman, disclosed that since they arrived Yola it has seemed impossible for them to meet with their mentor Atiku Abubakar.
They lamented that all they needed was to see Atiku or his representatives to deliver their messages and go back to their various destinations.
“I trekked for 38 days all the way from Lagos to Yola to see Atiku in view of his role over APC’s victory in the general election but up till now i have been unable to see him.
“I am now stranded with no money to go back; at times i sleep in motor parks or squat with good Samaritans,” said Jibrin.
Adamu had ridden to Yola on a bycicle from Kaduna to Yola for eight days.
He said, “I want to thank the Secretary, Nigeria Union Of Journalists, Adamawa Council, Mr. Baba Zare, who had been assisting me since arrival to cope with the difficult situation i found myself.
“I want to meet Atiku before finding my way back to Kaduna.”
Suleiman who treekked from Shelleng town located in Adamawa State, to Yola disclosed how he has been squatting from one relation to another while earnestly desiring to meet with Atiku before heading home.
