Ejiogu, the chairman of the occasion, stated this at unveiling a book titled “In Brotherhood We Stand; The Nigerian National Anthem Beyond Melody” on Thursday in Abuja. Pastor Osere Daniels authors the book.
He encouraged Nigerians to be patriotic, embrace unity, and prioritise respect for one another.

“Nigeria is a great nation, and there is no doubt that when we work together as one people without prejudice of ethnicity, religion or other primordial sentiments, there is no obstacle that we cannot overcome and no challenge we cannot conquer as a people.

“As far as I am concerned, the significance of today’s event goes beyond the unveiling of a book.
“It is also a tacit reminder of the core or essence of our nationality, which is unity in diversity and the fact that our diversity can be our strength if we learn how to maximise same.”

He said the book addresses other critical aspects of national values, which, if adhered to, would enable citizens to build a greater Nigeria.

The leader of the House of Representatives and the Chief Host of the event, Julius Ihonvbere, said the significance of this book written by Osere Daniels transcends mere words on paper; it signifies a collective reflection on the national anthem that serves as the vocal embodiment of our hopes, aspirations, and dreams as a nation.

“Having read it myself, I can attest to its merit and ability to inspire patriotism, strengthen the culture of unity in diversity and a renewed commitment to national service,” he said.

Sen Oluremi Tinubu, wife of the president, represented by Hajiya Fatima Abbas, Wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, commended the author for writing a book explaining the national anthem’s lyrics.

She said the wordings of the anthem are rich with terms on unity, peace, and progress, adding that it is not just a song but a reflection of Nigeria’s history, struggles, and aspirations.

Also, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen.George Akume, said the book would fill the current gap in the public understanding and collective commitment to nation-building.

Akume, represented by his Technical Adviser, Prof. Babatunde Bernard, recommended the book to a general readership, especially to the players, the younger generation, and those in authority.

“As a proud Nigerian, I wish to assure Nigerians, especially our youth, that the nation is on track, and I am confident in the reforms contained in the Renew Hope agenda of the President aimed at positioning the country on the path to prosperity.”

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudden Abbas, said a profound understanding of the ideals encapsulated in the national anthem was a better way of reclaiming Nigeria.

Represented by the Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Federal Character, Dr Anthony Adepoju, commended President Bola Tinubu for the foresight and courage to restore the current national anthem.

The Book Reviewer, Dr Otive Igbuzor, Founding Executive Director of the African Centre for Leadership, Strategy, and Development, said the book would inspire Nigerians to renew their commitment to applying the values of the national anthem in their daily lives.

Otive said this would transform them into better citizens who would contribute meaningfully towards building the Nigeria of our dreams.

The author, Daniels, said the book was his way of contributing his quota and adding value to value reorientation in Nigeria.

“The missing link has been Nigeria’s loss of sound value system. We must realign our values and principles to bring Nigeria where it should be.

“The book I have written today is an effective tool for value reorientation.

“I believe that the values and principles embedded in the anthem are blueprints and roadmaps that can guide us in building a greater Nigeria,” he added.
