The number of professed long distance trekkers since the conclusion of the 2015 general elections increased as one Haruna Salisu claimed to have spent about two weeks trekking from Kano State to Abuja.

First it was one Mister Suleiman Hashimu who claimed to have trekked from Lagos to Abuja to congratulate the President-elect, General Muhamadu Buhari.

Mr Salisu said his mission was to register his protest against alleged electoral fraud in the just concluded governorship election in Taraba State.

This did not only attract several questions and comments from the general public as to the authenticity of Mr Hashimu’s claims, but it has also attracted more trekkers into the scene.

His host, members of the All Progressive Congress’s Young Women Forum, also believed that their candidate was rigged out of the Taraba governorship elections.
