President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday launched the Buhari Unity Band, an idea he said was meant to keep Nigeria united as it inched toward the 2019 general elections.
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.
BUB, a collection of the President’s wristbands, was initiated by the Good Governance Ambassadors of Nigeria, a Buhari support group.
The President, while launching the wrist bands at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday, expressed concerns about the growing threats in the country in the build-up to the polls.
He stated that his administration was committed to keeping Nigeria together.
