Former presidential aide, Pastor Reno Omokri, has provide free buses for Nigerians traveling to different locations across the country to cast their votes.
Omokri who is also an author, began the campaign to provide free buses for potential voters on micro-blogging site, Twitter earlier this week.
He specifically asked that those interested would only show their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) as evidence to enjoy a free ride to their various destinations.
He also informed the public that the bus is available to everyone irrespective of their political leanings and who they intend to vote for.
Christened #BusesForDemocracy, Omokri got the services one of one of Nigeria's reliable transport companies to provide the service.
The buses left for their various destinations on Thursday, February 21 and traversed the 6 geopolitical zones of the country. They are also expected to return on Sunday, February 23.
Omokri also rejected financial donations from some Nigerians who made efforts to support the cause, stressing that it could result to a scandal.
I will soon release details for accessing my free #BusesForDemocracy. They are:— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) 19 February 2019
* Free to voters travelling for the purpose of voting
* IRRESPECTIVE of who they vote for
We are brothers and sisters born by Mother Nigeria. Democracy is my ONLY objective
RETWEET to support.
My free #BusesForDemocracy took off this morning as I promised. Nobody was asked who they would vote for. No campaigning was done. Patriotic Nigerians were just ferried to their bases to go and vote for who they wanted.— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) 21 February 2019

A number of you asked me for an account number to contribute to #BusesForDemocracy. I really appreciate your patriotic gestures. Due to the possibility that I could be falsely accused of enriching myself, I prefer to finance this on my own. But I thank you and may God bless you!— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) 19 February 2019
