Buhari said, “I heard so many stories that you wore out about half a dozen pair of shoes. But I also understand that there were people who were quite generous to help you to pay for more pairs of shoes. Thank you very much indeed.
Hashimu presented a gift to Buhari and took a several photographs with him. He said, “I passed through Kwara State, Niger State to Abuja. I trek from 6am to 6pm. I start by six anywhere I find myself by 6pm, I pass the night there. I spent 18 days.
“I found myself in the bush once and had to trek till 9pm to a nearby village. I am based in Ibadan. I started my journey from Berger in Lagos.”
