  • E The personal staff of the President are civil servants
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
In Nigeria’s presidential system, the President’s party often has the majority in the National Assembly, which helps in passing legislation. This is not a constitutional requirement, but it is a common feature. There is usually a formal opposition in the legislature, state governments have their own powers, the President does not have absolute power, and personal staff are not necessarily civil servants.
