The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi has warned the National Assembly that such an important task of reversing the present National Anthem to the old one must not be done by what he described as legislative fiat.
Recall that the Senate on Thursday gave very quick consideration to an Executive Bill forwarded to it by President Bola Tinubu that seeks the re-introduction of the old National Anthem which starts with the popular phrase “Nigeria, We Hail Thee”.
“The essence of the foregoing is to secure the buy-in and confidence of the people and to ensure that the anthem meets their collective aspirations and suits their contemporary socio-political conditions. “The outcome of this process is bound to be a true reflection of the wishes of the generality or majority of Nigerians”.
