Before the collapse of Nigeria's First Republic in 1966, the prime minister was both the head of government and a lawmaker. The prime minister was the head of the government and the leader of the party with the majority in the parliament.

However, after the military coup in 1966, the parliamentary system was abolished, and the country was governed by military leaders until 1979 when the second republic was established.
