A young man from Katsina State, Gadaffi Musa who embarked on a journey with his bicycle from his home state to Lagos State to congratulate President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has arrived in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

On his way to Lagos, Musa explained on Radio Nigeria Amuludun FM Moniya, Ibadan that he embarked on the journey to express his love for Tinubu.
