Man treks from Abuja to Ilorin for Saraki

A young man, Mr. David Godwin, who is trekking from Abuja to Ilorin in support of the ambition of the Chairman, Senate Committee on Ecology and Environment, Dr. Bukola Saraki, to become the president of the incoming 8th Senate has arrived Omu-Aran in Kwara State.

In an interview with journalists on Friday, Godwin said he arrived Omu-Aran through Ikole in Ekiti State about 10pm on Thursday, adding that he commenced the journey on May 13, 2015.

He claimed that trekking was his own way of supporting Saraki’s ambition to become the Senate President, adding that he was inspired by his intelligence and leadership style.



Godwin, who also claimed to be a fashion designer, was received on Friday by a councillor representing Omu-Aran Ward 3 in Omu-Aran, Irepodun Local Government Area, Mr. Wasiu Awoniyi, with scores of youths.

The trekker was later accompanied by Awoniyi and the youths to the palace of the Olomu of Omu-Aran, Oba Charles Ibitoye, who also welcomed him.

Godwin said, “I have been monitoring the political career of the senator since he became the governor of Kwara State as far back as 2003.”
