A Gombe man, Shamsuddeen Garba, alias Dan Small, who recently embarked on a journey to Abuja from Gombe State on a bicycle, has received a Honda (EOD) car gift and N700,000.

The deputy national treasurer of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dattuwa Ali Kumo, gave him the gift.

Shamsuddeen had embarked on a challenging journey from Gombe to Abuja, covering approximately 548 kilometres on a bicycle.

In an interview on Wednesday, the bicyclist explained that he was on the journey to show his support to the APC deputy treasurer for his leadership qualities and philanthropic activities in the state.

Gombe local government chairman Imrana Haruna presented the gifts to Shamsuddeen on behalf of Dattuwa. He said the gifts were meant to appreciate Shamsuddeen’s adventures and perseverance.
