The late Ernest Shonekan was a stabilizing factor in the June 12th 1993 political stalemate in Nigeria. The military(represented by Babangida) would not hand over to civilians. The civilians(represented by Abiola and the pro democracy movement)would not let go. There was tension with the attendant deaths and sufferings(of the masses). Shonekan's acceptance to head an Interim administration mellowed the tension considerably.
