Mother With 40-Day Old Baby Treks For Buhari.
President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, seem to have begun a trekking
revolution in Nigeria as the number of trekkers showing solidarity for
his victory in the presidential election keep swelling by the day.
The latest trekker to identify with Buhari, is Mrs. Alice Daniel, a 35-
year old nursing mother, who began her journey from Minna to Abuja
to fulfill a promise she made before the election.
Mrs. Daniel, who is a mother of five, said her husband, Abdulwasiu,
predicted correctly, that President Goodluck Jonathan, will lose the
presidential polls.
She said she had countered her husband’s prediction, arguing that, it
would not be possible for an incumbent president to loss to an
opposition candidate.
Mrs.Daniel, who was at that time heavily pregnant, promised that if
Buhari should win the election, she would trek from Minna to Abuja to
personally congratulate him.
The female trekker, who hails from Niger State, revealed that she was
almost stopped by her family members and friends, but she had
already made up her mind to fulfill the promise she had made. She
commenced the journey at about 6:00am on Sunday, from Chanchaga
bridge.
When asked about the health implications of her journey on her and
the baby, who is just 40-days old, she expressed optimism that,
nothing would happen to her and the toddler as she is fully focused
on completing her mission.
