Former presidential assistant and well-known media figure, Reno Omokri, has lamented the return of the previous national anthem.
President Bola Tinubu has just signed the old Nigerian national anthem into law.
The socialite took to the X platform to voice his harsh complaints about the nation's economic situation and emphasize its backwardness.
He claimed that the president made a grave error and the action was needless.
He wrote: “If I look sad in the attached photo, it is for a reason. My heart is very heavy about Nigeria right now because, in my opinion, we just took a giant step backwards in our national journey.
“Now, do not get me wrong, I support the current economic policies of my country. Fuel subsidy removal and Naira flotation are necessary policies that any lover of Nigeria should adhere to regardless of party affiliation. “
“One of the most unnecessary acts of governance in Nigeria in recent times is the law returning the old National Anthem.
“First of all, there was nothing wrong with the existing anthem. Secondly, with all of the multifaceted issues we face, it seems like we have a lack of priorities when we major on such a settled issue as an anthem. “
