Dahiru Buba, who trekked from Gombe to Abuja to celebrate the 2015 election victory of President Muhammadu Buhari, has finally been rewarded with a car and a cash sum of N2 million by Gombe State Governor Inuwa Yahaya, for his troubles.
Buba had complained of neglect, sore limbs and going broke since the trek.
He had also called on the government and other well meaning Nigerians to come to his aid as he could no longer offset his medical bills and pay his children’s school fees.
Buba who is a 50-year old native of Dukku Local Government Area of Gombe, plies his trade as a commercial motorist.
