2015 general elections as enthusiastic supporters of politicians trekked long distances to show solidarity with their heroes.

Even candidates who lost elections received trekkers as was the case with Oladele Nihi who trekked in solidarity with the democratic dispositions of former President Goodluck Jonathan after losing the presidential poll.
In the case of the Kogi governorship poll, the trend has been sustained as Mr Isa Mukaila made real his promise to trek in solidarity with Alh. Yahaya Adoza Bello, Kogi Governor-Elect, from Lagos to Lokoja.
The trekker was received in Lokoja by enthusiastic supporters of Alh. Yahaya Adoza Bello in Lokoja, Tuesday.
Isa Mukaila is a native of Nassarawa State but his mother hailed from Ebira from Kogi State.
Mukaila told newsmen that her mother's wish was to see an Ebira person become the governor of Kogi State in her lifetime.
Unfortunately, her dream came true five years after her demise.
To honour his late mother, Isa trekked from Lagos to Lokoja, an adventure which took 14 days to accomplish.
