Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has expressed her disapproval of the current administration’s decision to reinstate the old national anthem. She criticized the timing of the change and questioned how reverting to the old anthem would address the hardships facing the country.
Henshaw lamented the severe difficulties and lack of effective governance prevailing at every level in the nation. She highlighted the pressing issues of excruciating hardship faced by Nigerians.
On her X handle, she sarcastically wrote: “In the midst of excoriating hardship & lack of good governance on every level but not to worry, going back to a colonial anthem will be a soothing balm and inject patriotism back into our veins, a much-needed drug.”
In another post, Henshaw wrote, “The labour of our heroes past… o ti lo [is gone].”
This reaction comes after President Bola Tinubu signed the National Anthem Bill 2024 into law, reinstating the old anthem, “Nigeria, We Hail Thee.”
