From last week, continues the narrative of the transition of the old National Anthem to a new one, including the roles played by different individuals in this process during the Obasanjo military regime.who was then Head of State, accepted the work and modified it. In September 1976, he decreed that all school children should recite the Pledge in their assemblies daily. Gen. Obasanjo acknowledged this in his book, Not My Will.
On May 28th, the Senate passed the same Bill into Law. It was introduced by the Majority Leader in the Senate, Senator Michael Bamidele Opeyemi from Ibedoyin quarters Ward B, Iyin Ekiti in Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area of Ekiti State. At present he is representing Ekiti Central in the Senate.
The man who hurled a flaming spear into a hornets’ nest by sponsoring the bill on National Anthem is Professor Oluwakayode Julius Ihonvbere , a man who is always on the move. He is representing Uzebba in Owan Constituency in the House of Representatives. Uzebba is the last border post between Edo State and Ondo State. A long bridge separates Uzebba in Edo state and Ifon in Ondo State. The last time I passed through that road in 2006 was when I attended the funeral of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Gray Adetokunbo Eromose Longe, who served as SGF between January 1, 1984 and January 11, 1986, at Sabongida Ora.
