President Mohammadu Buhari has
launched “Buhari Unity Band” BUB, ahead of the 2019 presidential election.
The President also reiterated
his committed to peace and unity across the country.
Buhari unveiled the band on
Thursday, in the Presidential Villa, Abuja, at the State House Conference
Centre.
He said the BUB was part of the
activities to kick-start his campaigns towards seeking reelection for a second
term in office.
Speaking at the launch of
campaign wrist bands organised by a group known as the Good Governance
Ambassadors of Nigeria, GOGAN, the President expressed unhappiness with the
prevailing threats in Nigeria ahead of the elections in February.
Buhari, however, said that the
country would emerge stronger despite the odds besetting it with the resolve by
the citizens for a united nation.
He said, “No nation can succeed
without unity. Our nation has gone through turbulent times but by the grace of
God we always emerge stronger.”
The President said his
administration was doing all it takes to promote togetherness as well as cement
cordial relationship among Nigerians.
In the launch booklet, National
Coordinator of GOGAN, Felix Idiga said BUB is to humiliate and shut down evil
plans of the opposition and every dissenting voice.
“It is a symbol with a loud
declaration by Nigerians; a slogan which says, no to united looters, yes to a
united Nigeria,” he said.
According to him ‘senseless
looting’ of the national treasury, unites desperate politicians regardless of
their different ethnic and religious groups.
“But when they are picked to
face the wrath of the law, they cry marginalisation and begin to fan the flames
of disunity and unrest in the country,” he noted.
Idiga added that BUB’s launch of
the wrist band was to give all Nigerians who support the President and
Nigeria’s unity, something to show for their solidarity and which they can wear
with pride.
“Our 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,” he added
