Man who trekked 425km to celebrate Buhari in 2015 gets car, N2m
Buba made the trekking journey in 2015 without any prompting and was said to have received only a certificate then.
But his reward came on Monday as Gombe State Governor, Inuwa Yahya, gave him a car gift with N2m.
This is after the man had cried out for help, having claimed that the sore he developed in his leg and the limp pains after the great trek five years ago had almost incapacitated him and made life unbearable for him and members of his family.
TheCable had reported how Buba, a native of Dukku Local Government Area of Gombe State, sought financial assistance to treat limb pains that he allegedly developed after the walk.
Buba, who only got a certificate for his feat in 2015, had lamented how life had become too difficult for him and his family as a result of the physical challenge.
The man was given a car and the cash gift by the state governor on Monday.
Media aide to Governor Yahaya, Ismaila Misilli, in a statement, quoted the governor as saying no genuine effort or sacrifice would go unrewarded, no matter how long.
He said, “For taking the pain and risks to show solidarity with Mr President and our great party, people like Buba should not be neglected.
“By embarking on that solidarity trek, Dahiru Buba had shown patriotism and support, he should therefore be appreciated and encouraged.”
The governor also said that medical attention was being given to Buba, and that he (Buba) was now responding to treatment.
The governor reportedly said, “On learning about his condition, first, I directed that he should be taken to the hospital for proper medical attention and I am happy that he is now better after undergoing his first round of treatment.
“As far as we are concerned in the APC and in this administration, no genuine effort or sacrifice will go unrewarded, no matter how long it takes.
“So, on behalf of our dear President and our beloved party, we say a big thank you for your show of support and solidarity.”
Buba expressed gratitude to the government and the President for the gesture and promised judicious use of the gifted items.
