Prominent All Progressives Congress member Joe Igbokwe has chastised activist Aisha Yesufu for what he considers to be inconsiderate behavior towards the new national anthem.
Known for her activism, Yesufu chose to sit down during an occasion instead of singing the national anthem, “Nigeria we hail thee,” while others stood up to pay tribute to the song.

The co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls advocacy group was seen sitting while the new national anthem was being recited in a video that she shared on X on Friday.
“#NotMyNationalAnthem,” she said in the video’s caption.
In response, Igbokwe labeled Yesufu’s activities as “nonsensical” on his Facebook page on Saturday and issued a warning that they would endanger her and her family.

“Aisha Yesufu cannot respect the National Anthem,” he wrote. Let’s see where all of her senseless actions lead her. It’s possible that she is unaware of the harm she is causing to her family and herself. Continue.”
“Nigeria we hail thee” will once again be the national anthem after President Tinubu signed the National Anthem Bill 2024 into law on Wednesday.
