Three men, who trekked to Yola
in honour of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, are currently stranded in
Yola.
Speaking to newsmen in Yola
today, the men, namely Salihu Jibrin, Aliyu Adamu and Abubakar Suleiman, said
since their arrival, they have been unable to see their mentor, Atiku. Adding
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,”
Jibrin said.
Adamu, who rode on a bicycle
from Kaduna to Yola, said he spent eight days on the way.
“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,” Adamu said.
On his part, Suleiman, who
trekked from Shelleng town, Adamawa, to
Yola said he had been squatting from one relation to the other while waiting
for an opportunity to see Atiku before going back home
