Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Anambra Central Senator, Victor Umeh on Thursday said the new National Anthem, \u2018Nigeria we hail thee\u2019 would help build a just nation<\/p>\n

Umeh said the new national anthem is a prayer to God to help build a nation where nobody will be oppressed.<\/p>\n

Featuring on Arise Television\u2019s Morning Show, the lawmaker said reverting to the old National Anthem would not hurt any Nigerian.<\/p>\n

According to Umeh: \u201cReverting to the old National Anthem is not hurting anybody; we can\u2019t leave things that are not important and begin to debate things about a molehill.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have had our national anthem for 46 years \u201cArise O Compatriots,\u201d so that we are going back to the one that is critical to the life of our nation is not bad.<\/p>\n

\u201cStanza three of the new anthem which spoke about helping those oppressed is very critical to our nation today, those who made the old National Anthem knew over time that there must be the tendency of people dominating others and oppress them along the line, so we put it as a prayer to God to help us build a just nation where no man is oppressed, many people, minorities are oppressed in Nigeria today.\u201d<\/p>\n
