A 30-year-old man from Gombe state, Aminu Abdulmumini Jor, who trekked from Gombe to Lagos in honour of the presidential aspiration of Bola Tinubu has been left stranded 25 days after arriving in Lagos, The Sun reports.
It was gathered that Jor who has now left Lagos for Abuja was unable to accomplish his aim as he did not get to see the national leader of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).

Speaking in an interview with the newspaper, Jor stated that he was not moved by the fact that he did not formally meet the APC stalwart to formally register his support for his presidential bid.
He said his support for Tinubu is spurred by the fact that the APC stalwart has always been a statesman and he has always shown support to the north over time.

Jor stated that Tinubu was highly instrumental to the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari as president in the 2015 presidential polls.
He said:
“His 2015 support for Buhari alone is enough for every northerner to support and celebrate the Man (Tinubu) so, that was why I trekked from Gombe to Lagos to show and register my support for him."
Jor however described Tinubu as a transformer, making reference to his accomplishment in Lagos State where he served as governor for two tenures and also as a mentor to his successors.
He also harped on the fact that Tinubu was able to catapult Lagos state Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) from N600 million to over N30 billion monthly, an achievement he said was enough to land him the presidential seat in Aso Rock.
Jor recounts his ordeals
Jor, while recounting his ordeals during his quest, stated that he encountered some obstacles as some individuals did not say positive things to him to encourage his quest.
He noted that some individuals wished that he was kidnapped on his way, stating that he trekked in the scorching sun and in the rain.
