President of the Nigerian Senate, Godswill Akpabio states that reintroducing the old national anthem, ‘Nigeria we hail thee,’ signifies the start of the revolution that Nigerians have been longing for.
He mentioned that this change fosters a sense of unity despite tribal and linguistic differences. Akpabio made these remarks on Wednesday during a joint session of the National Assembly to commemorate President Bola Tinubu’s one-year anniversary in office.
He said Tinubu had done well in the last one year, noting that it was profound that the old national anthem was re-introduced during his first year in office.
“Of all the significant things you have done, there is one of the most profound things and that is to take us back to our genealogy.
“The genealogy of our birth that though we belong to different tribes, though we may have different tongues, henceforth, we will not refer to ourselves as just compatriots, we will refer to ourself as brothers and as we move forward in battle or on the field of sports or other endeavours, we must hail Nigeria.”
