A 31-year-old Mohammed Umar on Monday began a 425-kilometre walk from Gombe to Abuja, to draw support for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate for the 2023 poll.
Umar, a member of TinKas Tinubu/Shettima Support Group, told the News Agency of Nigeria shortly before starting his walk in Gombe, that his action was to show support for Tinubu, ahead of the 2023 poll.
“Tinubu has picked our own, Sen. Kashim Shettima as his running mate; the best we can do for him is to mobilise support for him to secure massive votes for them from the Northeast. “I am also going to Abuja to personally invite our leaders Sen Tinubu and Shettima to come and open our campaign office in Gombe State,” he said.“I have some malaria drugs with me should I fall sick in the course of the walk to Abuja.
“I have the support of my family in this endeavour, I have the full support and blessings of my family members,” he said.
