Former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili, has backed activist Aisha Yesufu’s stance against the new national anthem “Nigeria we hail thee.”

Ezekwesili vowed never to sing the new national anthem because President Bola Tinubu and the National Assembly breached the Nigerian constitution.

A video of Yesufu had surfaced online where she refused to recite the new national anthem.

Sharing the footage on social media, the activist wrote: “#NotMyNationalAnthem.”

Reacting, Ezekwesili vowed to continue singing the abolished version of the national anthem.

Posting on X, she wrote: “@AishaYesufu, Definitely #NotMyNationalAnthem as I already publicly conveyed.

“In my case, whenever and wherever the National Anthem is called for, I shall continue to sing #AriseOCompatriots as #MyNationalAnthem.

“The Lawmakers @nassnigeria and the @NGRPresident grievously breached the Constitutional provisions and process for amendment of legislation and therefore cannot foist another National Anthem on us.

“I refuse to join them in the Kangaroo Act of violating the Constitution.”

PresidObi:
That's a measured distraction from the criminals in power

They will continue throwing up irrelevant issues and people will be so occupied that 8 years will pass without anyone noticing, hunger and poverty can be endured when people are tearing themselves apart with the fuel being poured in by the government.

That's the strategy of BAT

G0odharddick:
How tinubu fans are celebrating the new national anthem is a mystery.

Come on, there are more pressing issues to tackle in this country but some idiots are celebrating the new anthem?

Is it the new anthem the masses will eat?

I am very sure some idiots will quote me now and say everyone should go and farm as though we were all farming during GEM era!

APC and tinubu supporters are fools

Gbam! Nigeria has only one king, and his name is King Charles. Nigerians will never bend the knee to a Nazi sympathizer and not-a-member of the Royal family. All these secessionists should go and create their precious new country on the planet Nevertune. Nigerians are not TRAITORS. Capiche?!

I still wonder how Ezekwesili became a minister. That woman is a hardcore Biafran.
