Precious Umasoye, a young man who was said to have trekked for Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state in 2019 to mark his victory is now out begging for help.
According to TVC News correspondent, Uche Okoro, who shared photos of the young man, Precious is outside of the government house, demanding to see Wike.
Recall that days ago the same governor gave Grammy Winner Burna Boy a warm reception, where he also pledged N10 million each to performing artistes at the welcome event.
Precious who walked 75 kilometres from Ahaoda to Port Harcourt is asking for what he calls a "business support fund".
In the first frame of the photos posted on social media, the man posed with a banner that described him as "Rivers Trekker for Wike". The printed material also has his request.
