Aisha Yesufu damaging herself for disrespecting national anthem, says Joe Igbokwe

Prominent All Progressives Congress(APC) member Joe Igbokwe has chastised activist Aisha Yesufu for what he considers to be inappropriate behaviour towards the new national anthem.

Known for her activism, Yesufu chose to sit down at an occasion instead of singing the national anthem, “Nigeria we hail thee,” while others rose up to respect the anthem.

The co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls advocacy organization was seen sitting while the new national anthem was being recited in a video that she shared on X on Friday.

Captioning the video, she wrote: “#NotMyNationalAnthem.”

In response, Igbokwe labeled Yesufu’s activities as “nonsensical” on his Facebook page on Saturday and warned they could potentially harm her and her family.

He wrote: “Aisha Yesufu cannot respect the National Anthem. Let us see where all the nonsensical behaviour will take her to. She may not understand the damage she is doing to herself and her family. Continue.”
