“How has the new national anthem increased the GDP? Has the new national anthem reduced inflation?
Netizens has reacted to Rufai’s comment by relaying their thoughts and opinions.
Cozy tweeted,”Nothing 90% of Nigerians don’t know how to sing the national anthem, 5% don’t know they have changed the national anthem to one kind of song relating to when we were in the era of slave trade. While the remaining 5% who knows how to sing it are confused as to why it’s changed cause nothing in that anthem makes sense to me.”
