Political analysts, Jideofor Adibe have reviewed the return to the old national anthem, “Nigeria, We Hail Thee”.
Both Adibe and Sani were guests on Channels Television’s May 29 Special programme on the first anniversary of Chief Bola Tinubu.
Adibe questioned the importance of changing the national anthem at this critical time, describing it as “shadowboxing”.
According to him, “That for me is shadowboxing. Is that the problem? I think they are leaving the substance to chase the shadow. What does it change? Does it change the price of food in the market?” he queried.
Recall that the new national anthem, ‘Nigeria, We Hail Thee’ was signed into law by Chief Bola Tinubu in the early hours of Wednesday.
The signing of the bill into law on Wednesday by Chief Tinubu, ensured that Nigeria jettisoned ‘Arise, O Compatriots’ as its national anthem.
