This year’s festival was under the theme: “Unity Among Banda Community.”

The theme was selected to rekindle the need for Banda communities to unite as it is only unity that can bring them the needed progress.
Buipewura, Mahama Abdulai Jinapor II said he’s not happy over the disunity among indigenes of Banda.
“I am not happy because of the disunity among you, last year when I came here, I called for unity among you but nothing has changed. You are all one person. So why should there be disunity among you? I believe when I return next year there will be unity among you,” Buipewura, Mahama Abdulai Jinapor II said.
