Femi Falana, the current political class’s senior advocate, claimed that politicians failed to maximize Nigeria’s independence.
This was made known by Falana, a human rights lawyer, on Wednesday during a special broadcast on Channels Television to honor Nigeria’s 65th anniversary.
However, he claimed that the colonial structure that was preserved by the British in 1960 gave Nigeria its flag-freedom.
Falana claims that the politicians now lacked ideology and saw political power as a means of acquiring power rather than a means of achieving it.
“The political parties that were established were ideological,” according to the politicians at the time of the first republic and even in the second republic. They were arguing with one another and knew what they wanted, he said.
“Political parties were not used as tools to retake control,” the statement read. They were balancing responsibilities with power-acquisition. What did the British colonial regime give to Nigeria by 1960?
It refers to flag independence as it is. The colonial structure was largely intact. Before the system fell, the first set of politicians “didn’t make the best of it,” he claimed.
Falana recalled how the Murtala Mohammed regime’s presidential system of government was essentially an American creation.
