A fresh wave of political tension has gripped social media following a dramatic incident in Lagos State where high-profile figures openly snubbed the country’s current national anthem.
During a high-stakes party town hall meeting, the event anchor called for attendees to stand for the newly introduced “Nigeria, We Hail Thee” national anthem, prompting Peter Obi alongside other leaders to remain seated.
Rather than recite the current official anthem, the crowd boldly opted out and instead broke into a passionate rendition of the former “Arise, O Compatriots” anthem in unison.
As clips of the defiant musical display continue to spread across digital platforms, internet users have flooded comment sections with fierce debates regarding political symbolism and national identity.
