The Federal Council[1] is the executive body of the federal government of the Swiss Confederation and serves as the collective head of state and government of Switzerland. It meets in the west wing of the Federal Palace in Bern.
While the entire Federal Council is responsible for leading the federal administration of Switzerland, each Councillor heads one of the seven federal executive departments. The position of President of the Swiss Confederation rotates among the seven Councillors on a yearly basis, with one year's Vice President of Switzerland becoming the next year's President of Switzerland. Alain Berset has been the incumbent officeholder since 1 January 2023.

An election of the entire Federal Council occurs every four years; voting is restricted to the 246 members of the Federal Assembly of Switzerland. There is no mechanism for recall after election. Incumbents are almost always re-elected; there are many conventions and informal agreements among political parties that control the election process.

Why can't this be done in Nigeria?

A rotational presidency like that will douse tribal and religious tensions effectively.

It is always greener on the other side until you cross over to the side. Try it in Nigeria and see.

Restructuring or division is the solution to Nigeria.

Must we copy
We need thinkers to formulate our own system
We copy everything
By now if we were serious people should have started monitoring how the system works here and start formulating policies that will work for us

Is that not restructuring?

Did you read the post? Instead if having a single president you have a head of state council from all the geopolitical zones to vote on decisions.

You can then rotate the title of president around just for a head that can perform state functions. Similar to what is in the Supreme Court.

Everything is built on top of something that is already tested and working.

New things are built on existing systems.You can add an innovation on top but if you want go and do what nobody has done, then it will likely fail.

If something new was that good, someone would have taught of something close already

Nigeria should benefit from this model. But the devil is always in the detail. How does a collegiate presidency work seamlessly in Nigeria?

Who did the Swiss learn from
When peracles of Greece started democracy
Who did he learn it from?

2+2=5
We all know it’s impossible
There are patterns
We are too lazy to think

The Swiss constitution was modeled after the US. They then added the council presidency on top.

The Greek "democracy" started from the rise of rich and powerful people in Athens who then sought a way to divide power among themselves.

I'm not saying you can't innovate, but the foundation must be based on something which exists, is tested and true.

I'm a researcher, and one rule of research is that the foundation must be on an existing work/ result/theory/result. If not, it goes straight to the dustbin.

Even for Albert Einstein (copied) "The special theory of relativity was based on two main postulates: first, that the speed of light is constant for all observers; and second, that observers moving at constant speeds should be subject to the same physical laws."

Okay sir
I agree with you
Like the saying goes nothing is new under the sun

But I sincerely think what we need it thinkers to understand our system first before trying out any system of governance…
To avoid time wasting and wastages…
Peracles started democracy in Athens by the way
Which led to their golden age
Like you he was also a common man
