These are sacred facts and figures that invalidate and trump any ethno-religious propaganda. Don't let anybody lie to you or fool you that Nigeria has been ruled majorly by northern muslims

Below is a list of civilian and military leaders of Nigeria since 1st of October 1963 when Nigeria became a republic

Nnamdi Azikwe (Christian) - 2 years 3 months
Tafawa Balewa - Nigeria's first and only prime minister (Muslim) - 2 years 3months
Aguiyi Ironsi (Christian) - 6 Months
Yakubu Gowon (Christian) - 8 years
Murtala Muhammed (Muslim) - 6 Months
Olusegun Obasanjo (Christian) - 3 Years
Shehu Shagari (Muslim) - 4 Years 2 Months
Muhammadu Buhari (Muslim) - 1 year 6 month
Ibrahim Babangida (Muslim) - 8 years
Chief Ernest Shonekan (Christian) - 3 months
Sani Abacha (Muslim) - 4 Years 7 Months
Olusegun Obasanjo (Chirstian) - 8 years
Umar Musa Yar'Adua (Muslim) - 2 years Active
Goodluck Jonathan (Christian) - 1 year Acting, 2 Years Substantive and 4 years substantive by 2015….totaling 6 years.

Total Years of Muslim Leadership since the first republic: 24 years 6 Months

Total Years of Christian Leadership since the first republic: 26 years 9 months.

Since this was a combination of both Military and civilian leadership, it will be important to State that the highest law making body in the land, the Senate has been solely led by Christian Senate presidents since inception. The list of the Senate presidents since 1960 is presented below:

Nnamdi Azikiwe 1960 - 1960 (Christian)
Dennis Osadebay 1960 - 1963 (Christian)
Nwafor Orizu 1963–1966 (Christian)
Joseph Wayas 1979–1983 (Christian)
Iyorchia Ayu 1992–1993 (Christian)
Ameh Ebute 1993 - 1993 (Christian)
Evan Enwerem 1999 - 1999 (Christian)
Chuba Okadigbo 1999–2000 (Christian)
Anyim Pius Anyim 2000–2003 (Christian)
Adolphus Wabara 2003–2005 (Christian)
Ken Nnamani 2005–2007 (Christian)
David Mark 2007 - Incumbent (Christian)

There has been no Senate president of Muslim extraction.

Sharia was introduced in Nigeria under the Federal leadership of Obasanjo, a Christian President by "mostly" PDP governors who are still members and sponsors of the PDP till date.

It was General Ibrahim Babangida that signed Nigeria into the Organization of Islamic Countries, so why the persistent lies and propaganda against Gen. Buhari.

It should be as clear as night and day that there is nothing like an ethno-religious agenda anywhere whatsoever. All the propagandas are products of intellectually deficient and delinquent politicians who cannot decently esteem the votes of the electorates.

Those playing the Ethno-Religious card purely for power grabbing objective do not have an inkling of what they are doing at all. Fire does not burn only those who start it, it destroys everything in its pathway.

Nigerians should not be too lazy to simply access available information in order to clear their doubts, misconceptions and erroneous beliefs. This is the very reason clerics on both religious sides will continue to exploit their followers who will rather believe their heresies, personal agendas and invented rules as sacred, than what is explicitly written in their respective holy books.

Ok

A christian had never been a president because to be a christian is not just by carrying the title.

Informative but we don't need religion sentiment but rather we should focus on productivity and meaningful development. Among those Listed aboved who did well irrespective of his religion?

The purpose of the post is not present one religion as better than the other or vice versa. It is to open the eyes of the religious bigots and those being being deceived that good leadership has nothing to do with religion

This will not stop GEJ from winning

GEJ till Buhari becomes a pastor

where is Tafawa Balewa... In fact, He was the head of government. Azikiwe was just the ceremonial head.

Christians have ruled Nigeria cumulatively more than Muslims. It is only inferiority complex and unreasonable fear worrying GEJ and his supporters. Anyway it is GMB from 2015 to 2019.

I've added Tafawa Balewa's years as PM during the first republic.

Hmmm

FP ;DFP

Bring BUHARI, Bring CHANGE
#APC-CHANGE

I tire o. when they Can't use religion, they will start using region. first they say Muslims have an agenda yet, in this Democratic dispensation, Christians have spent more years at the top. talk of holding major positions and taking part in crucial decision making.

The war is not between Muslims and Christians, but between the masses and the cabal.

Meanwhile ... GMB/PYO2015

they are here to free us from the cabal.
