On June 12, Nigeria celebrated the 25th anniversary of its democracy, marking a significant milestone for the world’s most populous black nation. This achievement underscores Nigeria’s consistent commitment to maintaining a democratic system of government over the past two and a half decades.
The robustness of any democracy is reflected in the stability and functionality of its three major branches of government: the executive, the judiciary, and the legislature. In Nigeria, the interplay between these branches of government has not metamorphosed into the expected maturity of a 25-year-old.
Unfortunately, the administration of President Bola Tinubu has faced numerous challenges, highlighting that Nigeria’s democracy still has considerable progress. The ongoing crises in Kano and Rivers states exemplify the difficulties along this path.
