Dahiru Buba, a man who trekked from Gombe state to Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja in honour of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015, has been developed limb pains.
He made the 550-kilometre journey when Buhari defeated then-incumbent Goodluck Jonathan to emerge president in 2015. It took him 15 days to complete the journey.
He is now appealing for funds to treat his broken limb, disclosing that “since the time I conducted the trekking, the limb pain is growing by the day”.
Buba, who hails from Dukku Local Government Area, pleaded with Gombe State Governor, Inuwa Yahaya and other party leaders to come to his aid.
Speaking with Daily Trust, the man revealed that he did not get any reward for embarking on the long journey for Buhari, save a certificate issued by then APC Secretary, Mai Mala Buni, which recognised him as a good fan as the president and the party.
Buni is now Governor of Yobe State and the Caretaker Committee Chairman of APC.
Buba lamented that due to his health condition, he has not been able to pay his children’s school fees, urging the public to come to his aid.
