‘Incompetent lawbreakers’ – Former education minister, Ezekwesili says as she rejects old anthem

Oby Ezekwesili, the former Minister of Education, has stated that she will not revert to the old national anthem signed into law by President Bola Tinubu.

TheNewsGuru.com reports that the former minister made this known via the microblogging platform, X formerly Twitter on Wednesday, where she stressed that no one will suppress her right to dissent an obnoxious ‘law’ that is repugnant to all.

Recall, several reactions have been trailing the signing of the National Anthem Bill 2024 into Law with many likening the old anthem to having colonial tags.

Tagging the post, ‘Public Service Announcement’, Ezekwesili wrote, “Let it be known to all and sundry that I, Obiageli “Oby” Ezekwesili shall whenever asked to sing the Nigerian National Anthem sing:

“I frankly thought it was a joke and gave it no attention. 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!.”

She further urged Nigerians to rise up and fight for themselves as none of their leaders will fight for them.

“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 posted.
