Nigerian Ambassador to Mexico, Reno Omokri, has criticized presidential candidate Peter Obi and his supporters for rejecting the current national anthem at a town hall meeting in Lagos. Omokri argued that symbols like the Constitution, national football team, and the national anthem, which unite Nigerians, should be respected, warning that disrespecting them could hinder citizens from trusting such individuals with leadership.
This incident occurred after the restoration of the former national anthem, 'Arise, O Compatriots', through the National Anthem Act 2024, which President Bola Tinubu signed into law on May 29, 2024.
