2023: Northerner Who Trekked For Tinubu Stranded 25 Days After Arriving In Lagos
Aminu Abdulmumini Jor, a 30-year shoe shop owner who reportedly trekked 808 miles from Gombe state to Lagos state in solidarity with the presidential aspirations of Bola Tinubu has been left stranded.
According to the Sun, the staunch supporter of the APC chieftain said he was not disappointed even though he was unable to meet with him.
However, 25-days after arriving in Lagos Jor is now stranded and can no longer return home.
Speaking to the newspaper, Jor reinforced the love he has for Tinubu despite his current situation.
He explained 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.”
He also harped on the fact that Tinubu was able to catapult Lagos state’s 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.
