"If I Die...."; Man Begins Trekking From
Lagos To Abuja To Support Sheriff’s PDP.
Pictured
A trekker, Muhammed Isa, 32, has once again
embarked on a walk from Lagos to Abuja in
solidarity with the Ali-Modu Sheriff’s Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) faction. Isa, who started
the walk from Berger footbridge along Lagos-
Ibadan Expressway, told newsmen before
departing at about 9.12 a.m. that youths of the
party support Sheriff as the Chairman.
“I am on solidarity trek from Lagos to Abuja to
show my support and the support of youths to
Sheriff as the authentic national Chairman of
PDP,’’ he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
internal leadership squabbles had factionalised
PDP with Alhaji Ahmed Markafi leading the other.
Isa, a graduate of Psychology, claimed that the
youth felt that Sheriff was the best person to
manage the affairs of the party.
“I want to make something clear, Ali-Modu Sheriff
is someone who is honest and listens to
grassroots politicians; he has been working
tirelessly to ensure that PDP regains its lostt
glory.
“This is the type of person we need as a leader
to move the party forward,’’ he said.
The indigene of Borno said he hoped to finish the
trek within 23 days.
“I have already planned my journey, I will be
trekking from morning to evening, wherever dusk
meets me, I look for an accommodation there.
“After morning prayers, I will resume trekking,’’
he said.
Asked about the security measures he has in
place, Isa said he had none but believed God was
with him.
“I believe with Allah on my side, no evil will befall
me because I am not doing something that is bad
or injurious to the country,’’ he said.
NAN reports that Isa also trekked when former
President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan,
conceded defeat on March 28, 2015 President
Muhammadu Buhari.
Then, he trekked from the same Berger area of
Lagos to Abuja with the reason that Jonathan
made a great sacrifice for the unity of the country.
“The fact that I am a Muslim does not mean that I
should not celebrate Jonathan for the sacrifice he
made for this country by accepting defeat.’’
Isa, who expressed optimism that he would meet
the President and present him an award then,
however, said that “if I did not see him, I don’t
care.
“If I die on the road, I still believe that I die for
what is right,’’ he said during the trek that began
on May 6.
