ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- A prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has criticized activist Aisha Yesufu for her refusal to sing the new national anthem, “Nigeria we hail thee,” at an event.
Yesufu, co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls advocacy group, was seen sitting while others stood up to honor the anthem in a video she posted on social media.
Igbokwe reacted on his Facebook page, condemning Yesufu’s behavior as “nonsensical” and warning that her actions may harm her and her family.

He wrote: “Aisha Yesufu cannot respect the National Anthem. Let us see where all the nonsensical behaviour will take her to.
“She may not understand the damage she is doing to herself and her family. Continue.”
President Tinubu signed the National Anthem Bill 2024 into law on Wednesday, restoring “Nigeria we hail thee” as the national anthem.
