Spotting a black T-shirt with a box inscribed with the phrases 'RIP APC’ perched on his head, Munlaila informed journalists in Lagos that his trek is in opposition to the re-election bid of President Buhari.

Munlaila stated that the Buhari administration has added untold suffering and trouble to the masses. He also took on the administration for not fulfilling its 2015 election campaign promises.
Munlaila joins an extended list of Nigerians who have taken to trekking for political reasons.
In April 2015, 33-year-old Hashimu Suleiman did the 752-kilometer trek from Lagos to Abuja to celebrate Buhari’s election victory.
In May of 2015, 43-year-old Abubakar Duduwale hit the street from Yola to Abuja to witness the inauguration of Buhari as president. Duduwale is currently nursing a leg injury from the trek, and his medical bills are being paid by the federal authorities.
On April 9, 2018, Buhari announced his intention to seek a 2nd term in office. Opinions remain divided over his performance in office up to now, amid the president’s frequent travels to London on health grounds.
