Nollywood producer and master story social critic Charles Novia, like many other critical people, does not believe Sulaiman Hasheem’s claims of trekking from Lagos to Abuja in nineteen days.
Hasheem, or ‘The Traveller,’ as he is now called, is a young man who gained a lot of attention after he claims he vowed to walk from Lagos to Abuja if General Muhammadu Buhari won the 2015 presidential election.
The award winning filmmaker took to Twitter with a series of tweets on Wednesday, April 22, 2015.
It was perhaps these and other reports on Hasheem’s progress that have drawn the suspicion of the respected Nigerian filmmaker.
Narrating his experience to newsmen upon his arrival in Abuja, Hasheem said he had gone to get a police report at Ibadan to allow for an unimpeded journey, but that as he could not wait for the processes to be completed, the divisional police officer (DPO) gave him his phone number.
The journey man said when he first embarked on the journey, many persons discouraged him, especially family members but he never gave up.
Hasheem said he continued his trip from Mokwa to Kudu, then from Kutigi to Bida, and then to Suleja, after which arrived in Abuja on Monday.
It is important to note that Hasheemudid not document his trip and failed to provide proof of his journey, Novia said.
