I’ll never sing old national anthem – Ezekwesili backs Aisha Yesufu, tackles Tinubu

 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.”
