Former Nigerian Minister of Education Oby Ezekwesili has voiced her displeasure at the government’s decision to give the writing of a new national anthem top priority in the face of what she calls “horrible indicators on the state of governance.”

The National Anthem Bill 2024, which reinstates the previous national anthem, “Nigeria, we hail thee,” was authorised by Bola Tinubu, according to Parallel Facts.

Ezekwesili highlighted the serious governance problems afflicting the nation on her X handle as she voiced her shock and annoyance.

She said: “Wow! With all the horrible indicators on the state of governance? So, it is a new National Anthem that is their priority? I frankly thought it was a joke and gave it no attention.

“What an egregious case of “Majoring in the Minor” this is! Wow! Again, no one is coming to save us, Citizens of Nigeria.

“We’re all we have. We all must someday decide to collectively save ourselves and this country from these overpaid, unethical, incompetent and incapable “lawbreakers” in the@nassnigeria and their similarly characterized collaborators in the Executive and Judicial branches of Government across this Land.

“The Citizens of this country must understand this absolute truth by now that the political Class is the biggest curse on this country,” she concluded.
