Mr. Michael and Mrs. Edna Ayibaemi, have changed the trekking game by taking it to another level. This couple have decided to trek from Warri to Otuoke in Bayelsa state with their 25-day-old baby.
They are trekking just to honour the outgoing president, Goodluck Jonathan. The husband Michael revealed that he had been due to go on the trekking adventure alone, but his wife, who gave birth just 25 days ago, decided to join him with their baby.
According to the couple, the trekking was necessary because president Jonathan is a true hero for conceding defeat and allowing peace in Nigeria after the presidential elections despite the brewing political war.
A group of five married men have vowed to trek from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia to show solidarity to the president elect General Muhammadu
Buhari and to thank Allah for winning the 2015 presidential elections. Speaking with newsmen in Bauchi yesterday, the five men-Mohammed
Inuwa, 45, Dahiru Aminu, 33, Abdullahi Usseini, 45, Abubakar Danjuma, 45, and Kabiru Saleh , 35, said that their decion to embark on the
trek to Saudi Arabai was informed by their deep love for the general.
Speaking on their behalf, Mohammed Inuwa said: “He has tried to be president for 12 years but Allah did not make it to be possible. We
believe he always won because he had the support of the majority. This time around Allah has given him the power and so we decided to trek to
Mecca by road to register our unflinching support to General Buhari” They said they were willing to sacrifice their lives for the mission
but “we pray Allah will protect and guide us because we are committed to show our appreciation to General Buhari.”
The men said they had consulted widely with families and friends and have made adequate preparations for the journey which they estimated will take them at least three months and will see them transverse countries of Chad, Sudan before reaching their destination in Mecca.
They said that said although they are in good health, they planned to consult a doctor and be declared medically fit before embarking on
the journey.
The men said that they hope to begin their trek on May 30, a day after the swearing-in of the incoming administration and asked
Nigerians to pray for them to succeed in their mission. They pledged to pray for the president elect Buhari and all the country in general for peace and prosperity to reign during his administration.

Suleiman Hashimu who promised to trek from Lagos to Abuja if Gen. Buhari wins the 2015 Presidential election, arrived Abuja on Monday after trekking for 19days. Charles Novia obviously didn’t believe Suleiman Hashimu.
He said, I have my reservation on the 19 days Lagos to Abuja trip though. If it takes 9hrs for a car, how can it takes a man 19 days?
‘The Traveller,’ as he is now been called, had vowed to walk from Lagos to Abuja if Muhammadu Buhari won the 2015 presidential election.
Hashimu arrived Abuja Monday evening after trekking for over three weeks.
