"There is no financial inducement attached to this journey but I was actually inspired by Saraki's intelligence, his leadership style and vision for this great country Nigeria," Godwin said.

He said that the journey, which started on May 13, was now being monitored on twitter, Facebook and on mobile phones by friends and admirers.
