Atiku walking a treadmill
Hours after President Muhammadu Buhari made headlines for trekking 800 metres in Daura, former vice president Abubakar Atiku cited his personal feat.
He posted a photo of him walking a treadmill and said he regularly jogs "more than a mile".
He said he didn't want votes for walking feat, but because he wanted to work.
He said: "I regularly jog more than a mile & exercise, but it will be pedestrian of me to ask Nigerians to vote for me because of that. I want my party - the PDP, and Nigerians, to vote for me because I WORK not because I WALK. I will work to create jobs. I won’t walk to create an illusion"
