Nigeria’s President’s are: A review of Nigerian Presidents and leaders Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Prime Minister: 1 October 1960 - 15 January 1966 Nnamdi Azikiwe Presidents 1 October 1963 - 16 January 1966 Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi Head of State 16 January - 29 July 1966 Yakubu Gowon Head of State 1 August 1966 - 29 July 1975 Murtala Mohammed Head of State 29 July 1975 - 13 February 1976 Olusegun Obasanjo Head of State 13 February 1976 - 1 October 1979 Shehu Shagari: President 1 October 1979 - 31 December 1983 Muhammadu Buhari Chairmen of the SMC 31 December 1983 - 27 August 1985 Ibrahim Babangida (President) 27 August 1985 - 26 August 1993 Ernest Shonekan Interim President 26 August - 17 November 1993 Sanni Abacha Chairmen of the PRC 17 November 1993 - 8 June 1998 Abdulsalami Abubakar Chairmen of the PRC 8 June 1998 - 29 May 1999 Olusegun Obasanjo President 29 May 1999 - Since independence, Nigeria has been ruled by a Northern ruler for an approximate total of 49 years and 3 months. The South (Yoruba) will have ruled Nigeria for 11 years and 11 months at the end of President Obasanjo’s second term. The Ibo’s have ruled Nigeria for approximately 2 years and 9 months. No Southern minority group has ruled Nigeria but the Northern Minority have ruled Nigeria for approximately 18 years and 10 months. Obasanjo at the end of his current term will be the longest ruler of Nigeria with a total of 11 years and 8 months, followed by Gowon who ruled for 9 years and 11 months and then Babangida who ruled for 8 years and 1 day. If Obasanjo gets a third term he will have ruled Nigeria for 15 years or approximately one third of the time from Independence. If Babangida runs in 2007 and wins a four year term he will just become the longest serving ruler, surpassing Obasanjo’s by approximately one year. OBJ at the end of his term and IBB, if he does not rule Nigeria again have ruled Nigeria for almost 40% of the time since Independence. Fellow Citizens Good luck, your man Alex……. |

So what next, recycling or moving in a new direction? |

Nice stats. About President Obasanjo's rule: - The coup that brought him into power the first time was not his doing. - He willingly left the seat of power after a short time. - His last 8 years have been by the people's choice. |

Quote" Nice stats.

Resp: Thats really not the issue if he came by chance "God's work" or brought himslef there with a gun. It simply means that these gentlemen have had ample opportunity to rule Nigeria and so everyone can ask "so what do we have to show?" as we take steps to elect a new leader |

He has done a good job. He employed Ngozi Okonji-Iyeala as Finance minister and got us billions of dollars in debt relief. He reaches out to foreign investors to let them know that Nigeria is safe for business. He has done well so far. |

this is y we cnt ever grow cos we re always talkin about wat tribe ruled and for how long. my question is, does it matter? wat if the best man for the job comes from the south south or the core north? is it not for the 'betterment' of the nation? the person to blame is Lord Luggard cos the man carry 'ogbono' mix with 'ewedu' come add am to 'tu-oh'(am nt frm the north) come tink say unity go dey. God way divide d land wit river niger and benue know wetin dey. ![]() may the best man wins (i.e if aneni and mba dey mars) |

hotspice: Hmmmm....sounds true and worth thinking about. Seun: The debt which they stole.... money which we have not seen what they they were used for. For constucting Lagos - Abeokuta Road... he deserves to become life president in Ogun State On every other scale; He should be 'tried' for 'treason' 'cos he's worse than 'Maradona'-the 'evil genuis'. If Nigeria were indeed safe for business...We'll be looking for ways of controlling the influx of investments. Even indigenous investments would surpass evey expectation. This guy is a failure and we must'nt use every means to sell ice to Eskimos. |

Zik never ruled Nigeria, but Balewa going by then constitution. Zik was a ceremonial president without any portfolio. Balewa was the commander in Chief. |
