The other day, we suggested five other things the trekkers could to while away time rather than waste their energy on the trekking exercise.
The people’s General apparently, has a better idea.
President elect, Muhammadu Buhari via on his aides, Mohammed Shehu, has urged youths in the country to stop trekking to celebrate his victory in the recently held elections.
Instead, he advised the nation’s youth to pray for Buhari instead of trekking for him.
Shehu gave the advice on Monday, May 18, during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
“It’s kind of overwhelming. Last week, I told youths to stay where they are, stop trekking, and pray for the incoming administration instead. We have a lot of challenges; light, unemployment, insecurity, and so on,” Shehu said.
“So it is more profitable for them to stay where they are and pray instead of taking the dangerous risk of walking all the way to Abuja,” he added.
Sadly, the youths don’t listen.
A group of five men have revealed their plans to trek from Bauchi to Saudi-Arabia in commemoration of Buhari’s victory.
