Reverting to the old National anthem was a big mistake. Does it not sound preposterous that a foreigner should write our national anthem? — Reno Omokri

Former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, Pastor Reno Omokri has condemned the signing into law the old National Anthem.

Omokri noted that ‘Arise, O Compatriots’ National Anthem was written by a collective young Nigerians, including John A. Ilechukwu, Eme Etim Akpan, B. A. Ogunnaike, Sota Omoigui and P. O. Aderibigbe in 1978, and the old National Anthem, ‘Nigeria, We Hail Thee’, was written by an English woman, Lillian Jean Williams.

He questioned the rationality behind Tinubu’s action , advising him to revert back to ‘Arise, O Compatriots’.
