All of Nigeria's Heads-of-State were either a military man or a teacher, EXCEPT ONE MAN; Ernest Adegunle Shonekan (born 1936), a British-trained lawyer.
Shonekan is the only unelected civilian Head-of-State and without a political party. He is also the only one born in a Federal Capital.
Shonekan's tenure lasted for only 82 days (the shortest in Nigerian history) before he "resigned" on November 17, 1993.
"However, I regret to inform you that in the light of recent events and after due consideration of all the facts, I am left with no alternative but to take the most honourable and dignified step of resigning, with immediate effect, my appointment as Head-of-State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria."- Chief Ernest Adegunle Shonekan, November 17, 1993.
With these words, Shonekan became Nigeria's first and only Head-of-State to resign from office.
