Battered on several fronts by a litany of worries, prominent among which is economic hardship, and ebbing quality of life, the National Assembly, working hand-in-glove with the executive arm of government thinks that reverting to the old national anthem is good enough an elixir for national rebirth and economic rejuvenation. This is at variance with what Nigerians of diverse creeds and religions believe. Consequently, they want the government to get serious with governance and jettison folly if it truly desires a new Nigeria, where patriotic verve among citizens pours out naturally without compulsion, KEHINDE OLATUNJI reports.
Judging from the alleged below-par performance tag placed on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s first 365 days in office, as well as a string of scathing criticisms that have continued to pour out, some Nigerians appear convinced that the administration has been of little or no consequence to their wellbeing.
