He noted that independence in 1960 was largely symbolic, with colonial structures intact, and lamented the decline of ideologically driven politics since the first and second republics.
Falana questioned the suitability of Nigeria’s presidential system, introduced in 1979, citing its origins in a committee process without strong cultural alignment.
The day was marked by national celebrations, digital engagement, and reflection on Nigeria’s complex journey from colonial rule to democracy, including achievements like Olympic gold medals and Winter Olympics participation.
