Man rides on a camel's back from Kastina to Abuja for the APC convention.

By


The recent APC convention, held at Eagle Square, saw the attendance of high-wire politicians as well as party faithful of the All Progressive Party. However, more remarkably, was the attention and applause given to one of the party faithful at the event.

 

Ibrahim Yahaya Hamisu, described by the Vanguard as an APC party faithful as well as a die-hard Buharist, attended the APC convention over a 120-hour journey on a camel's back.

 

Ibrahim started from his home in Kastina and covered a journey of 590km to the venue of the convention in Abuja, full of passion and a desire to contribute his quota to helping the party elect officers for a better Nigeria.

 

"My name is Ibrahim Yahaya Hamisu. I came all the way from Katsina to Abuja to show Nigerians that I am an authentic APC man. It took me five days to arrive, " he said.

 

When asked why he embarked on such a trip considering the security risks associated with travelling through certain parts of the Northwest region, Hamisu said: “I did it for the love I have for APC.”

 

While on the road, Hamisu admitted to being stopped by road users and townsmen in admiration. Some of them requested selfies with him. The public admiration continued even at the convention as other party faithful showered Hamisu with questions borne out of pure astonishment.

By  Adetunji Oluwafemi The Great Ife Students’ Union on Monday, 3rd November 2024, held its planned inter-faculty debate for freshmen. The debate is part of the events that have been prepared for Fresher’s Week 2024. The event experienced a slight delay, as the venue was moved from the 1000-seater to Oduduwa Hall by the order of the school management, which requested that the initial venue be vacated because the office of the Vice President, responsible for the event, failed to seek permission before using it.

MOREMI HALL: A Tale of Night Stories: When Will It End? In the quiet corridors of Moremi Hall, a disturbing series of events has shaken the residents, raising questions about security and the unknown intentions of an elusive intruder.   It all started two weeks ago when the inhabitants of Moremi Hall were awoken to the cry of a lady, "Ole! Ole! (the Yoruba name for thief). At exactly 5:00 am, a guy who was wearing a mask was seen darting across the corridors. He was said to have stolen phones, and while he tried to escape, he was seen by some ladies who raised the alarm.   An eyewitness who will like to remain anonymous said he ran out of the kitchen and jumped down from the second floor to the ground. He sustained minor injuries, and to reduce the chase, he let go of the phones, which he had put in black nylon.   The Moremi residents were able to recover their phones, but he escaped through a gutter, and no one knows where he went. The porters were informed i...
