Protesters in Port Harcourt, participating in the #EndBadGovernance movement, rejected Chief Bola Tinubu’s reintroduced national anthem, “Nigeria, We Hail Thee,” and instead recited the now-defunct “Arise O Compatriots.”
The federal government reintroduced the latter anthem a few months ago, with Tinubu officially reinstating it on May 29, 2024.
An amateur video captured the demonstrators standing in solidarity and singing “Arise O Compatriots,” demanding better governance from Tinubu.
The protests were part of a nationwide expression of anger over worsening hunger and prohibitive food prices, with Nigerians across the country taking to the streets on Thursday.
