Following the video making rounds on social media, renowned Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu has revealed why she sat while the new National Anthem was being recited at an event.
Saturday Telegraph reports that Aisha Yesufu refused to stand up when a recitation of the new “National Anthem, Nigeria, we hail thee” was going on.
Speaking on while she was sitting during the recitation of the newly adopted National Anthem, the human rights activist told journalists that as far as she is concerned, there is no such thing as new and old National Anthem, as the only anthem she knows is the ‘Arise O Compatriots.’
She, however, berate politicians for being concerned about petty issues rather than more pressing ones such as the dwindling GDP, poor security, and mass exit of companies from Nigeria.
She maintained that she doesn’t acknowledge the ‘We Hail Thee’ anthem, and only knows ‘Arise O Compatriots.
