In 2015 after Buhari defeated Goodluck Jonathan in the presidential election, some Nigerians decided to honour him in their own way by trekking long distances.

Buba was not the only one who trekked for the president and later felt regret. One Hashimu Suleiman who also embarked on the same journey, a year after his long trip, said trekking for Buhari was his greatest mistake.

In other news, Sunday Dare, Nigeria's minister of youth and sports, has said President Buhari will break his silence on the shooting at Lekki toll gate when he has all the facts.

Speaking on Arise Television on Friday, October 23, the minister said an investigation into what happened has already been ordered by Buhari and is ongoing.
