Okoh Ebitu Ukiwe is a retired Commodore in the Nigerian Navy , who served as the Vice President of Nigeria during the Ibrahim Babangida military government from 1985 to 1986. Most Nigerians believe that Ukiwe lost his post due to his principled nature. Knowing that Ukiwe could not pushed around, then military President General Ibrahim Babangida replaced him with a much more docile officer, Augustus Aikhomu. Aikhomu lasted seven years in a regime that had high personnel turnover.
In 2006/2007 Ukiwe unsuccessfully ran for the presidency of Nigeria.
