Three men, who trekked to Yola in honour of former vice president,
Atiku Abubakar, are now stranded in Yola, according to reports from News
Agency of Nigeria, NAN.
The men, Salihu Jibrin, Aliyu Adamu and Abubakar Suleiman, who spoke to newsmen yesterday in Yola, said since their arrival, they have been unable to see their mentor, Atiku.
They said 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 elections 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 the motor park or squat with good samaritans”, Jibrin said.
Adamu, who rode a bicycle from Kaduna to Yola, said he spent eight days on the road.
“I want to thank the secretary, Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Adamawa council, Baba Zare, who has been assisting me to cope with the difficult situation I found myself since my arrival.
“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 has been squatting with different relations while waiting for an opportunity to see Atiku before going back home.
