Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Kingsley Moghalu, has weighed in on the government’s decision to revert to the old National Anthem, saying that such a move will not address the nation’s pressing challenges.
“Changing the National Anthem in Nigeria will not solve any of Nigeria’s problems, not least the challenge of building a nation”, Moghalu stated on Thursday via X.
The former Presidential candidate of the Young Progressive Party (YPP) in 2019 general elections emphasised the need for tangible actions and inclusive policies rather than symbolic gestures.
“Needed: Leadership Action, not words, fairness not prejudice, inclusion, not exclusion, a nation-spirit, not a tribal-spirit, justice not injustice “, he said.
Moghalu comments come in a wake of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s announcement during his address to the National Assembly, where he revealed the reversion to Nigeria’s first Post-Independence National Anthem.
President Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday May, 29, signed the National Anthem Bill 2024 into law.
The bill seeks to reinstate the old National Anthem, “Nigeria We Hail Thee”.
Meanwhile, Moghalu defended his comments supporting the success of Tinubu’s government despite criticism from some quarters.
