While others stood and sang along, Yesufu remained seated, dressed in an all-red attire that set her apart from the rest.
Her decision to sit out the anthem was a planned act of protest, indicating her disagreement with the recent alterations to the national symbol.
Aisha Yesufu’s actions elicited a mixed response, with some appreciating her boldness in voicing her ideas and others criticizing her for being impolite.
