Promise confirmed that he was received by the Rivers state governor, Simi Fubara, upon his arrival from Lagos.
His words:
"I didn't land in the hospital; I had a bed rest and medical check-up; I'm strong. Yes, I was received by the Governor."
Promise told Legit.ng that the journey, which lasted for five days, was an adventurous one.
He said:
"I took the Lekki-epe expressway to Ijebu Ode, then headed Ore-ondo, to Benin - Sapele - Warri- Ugheli - East-West Road, then to Port Harcourt. It was adventurous."
Promise is an accounting graduate of Uniport
Promise is from Omudioga in Emohua local government, Rivers state, and he is a graduate of accounting. He studied at the University of Port Harcourt.
He said he was motivated to embark on the tedious walk after facing many rejections. He hopes to become a Guinness World Record holder.
He told Legit.ng:
"I was motivated by disappointments and depression, low self-esteem and rejection, I applied for this record as an avenue to task myself to go beyond boundaries, more reasons I did it all alone without seeking for him (though I wrote to over 47 brands for sponsorship but non replied). I just had to hit the road and face whatever might come, I had no plan B. I couldn't afford water and food at some point, I don't think I would be able to afford transportation."
