When last did you wear a wristband? For me, it was in 2014 when I strolled into a ‘redeem’ church close to my house, (I was a first timer, the Nigerian church slang for new worshipper) so it was one of the many perks. This is why I believe the Buhari Unity Bands, a project the Presidency claims is meant to keep Nigeria united as it gears up for the 2019 general elections is a brainchild of his VO, Professor Yemi Osunbajo who is also a clergyman. BUB, a collection of the President’s wristbands, was initiated by the Good Governance Ambassadors of Nigeria, a Buhari support group (something like Atiku’s Get Nigeria Working Again Campaign). The launch is coming three days to the November 18, 2018 date set by the Independent National Electoral Commission for the formal opening of campaigns for the 2019 general elections, in which Buhari is running as the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
The Chairman and National coordinator of the project – Mr Felix Idiga said Nigerians who wore the bands believed in the unity of the country, which was promoted by Buhari. He added that “the ultimate goal is to make all Nigerians peace ambassadors of our country by uniting them with the national outlook for excellence in visual identification symbol with a loud declaration, a slogan which says, ‘no to united looters, yes to a united Nigeria.”
C’est fini.
