President Bola Tinubu says returning the old national anthem was always a priority for him.The President made this known during a meeting with the leadership of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) at the presidential villa in Abuja on Thursday, May 30.

“Let me allude to something that happened yesterday. The change of national anthem, ‘Nigeria, we hail thee’. Some people say, okay… say what? Is that your priority? It’s my priority. I agree with the national assembly. If they make law, I’ve got to obey that law, or we disagree openly and close the chapter.”

Tinubu said Nigeria’s diversity should be protected and celebrated, adding that the country’s population should not be seen as a burden.

“But the question of diversity. Who gave us the name Nigeria? Is it not Britain? Or somewhere? Have we changed our name? We are Nigerians. Our passport shows that. As long as we are Nigerians and one family, we remain and protect our diversity and love one another as brothers and sisters. It is God Almighty that puts you in that particular place and makes you a member of that family. You have no control over it. When I came begging for votes I didn’t say vote for me as a Yoruba man, I said vote for me as Bola Ahmed Tinubu.” he said

In 2022, President Tinubu had said he would bring back the first national anthem “if I have my way”.

On May 29, he enacted the legislation that returned the old national anthem themed: ‘Nigeria, we hail thee’.
