Explanation

Nigeria operates under a presidential system of democracy, where the President serves as both the head of state and government. The political system is modeled after the United States, with an executive, legislative, and judicial branch that function independently to maintain checks and balances. The Nigerian government has experienced several shifts, including periods of military rule before transitioning to civilian rule in 1999. This system has helped establish democratic processes, including regular elections, though challenges like corruption and political violence remain concerns.
