Rights activist and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Prof. Mike Ozekhome, has praised Nigeria’s decision to revert to the old national anthem, calling it a welcome development.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Ozekhome expressed his satisfaction with the change, stating that it was long overdue. He noted that he had advocated for this change a decade ago at the 2014 National Conference.
“Bringing the old national anthem back is well overdue. It has better lyrics in content and context, like the Senate President said. It is better than the other one,” Ozekhome remarked.
He further suggested that other national symbols, such as the country’s name and flag, should also be reconsidered. “The name Nigeria and the flag should also be changed,” he added.
