While sharing a video clip that captured the moment on her official X handle, Aisha wrote, “Not my anthem”.
News360 Info recalls that the National Assembly recently passed the National Anthem Bill 2024 despite the controversy that surrounded it.
President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday signed the bill into law, jettisoning the ‘Arise O Compatriot’ anthem that was adopted in 1978.
