Naajjii:

How is it going to be Obi vs Tinibu, how ?

As spelt out in the Constitution.

duro4chang:
I thought you had interest. But your interpretation is inaccurate base on what Falana said on channels tv today.

Ogbeni, do some thinking na...

Falana is just one legal mouth among many.

How does his views represent the considered legal position which will survive tortuous legal scrutiny and evaluation?

Olisa Agbakoba is no learner in this business...

For him to alert INEC on this means that it is a fundamental constitutional requirement...

Nigerian government with permutations

What is wrong with Nigeria sef?
What is this ambiguity about interpretation of the law here and there?

SANs against SANs...
Na wa

Neoteny7:


Keep clinging on to that thin, flimsy thread of hope. Anything that sustains your fantasies and keeps you out of trouble is ok by us.

Meanwhile, we're basking in the reality that the MM ticket has won.

CAN is now CAN't, and the igboes are again reminded that they're, and always will be, inconsequential minor nuisances.

We shall see who will laugh last. CAN is CAN'T abi? Screenshot this post as a reminder that Tinubu will never rule this country even for a day!

Winning FCT Not Requirement To Emerge President – Falana



https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.channelstv.com/2023/01/24/winning-fct-not-requirement-to-emerge-president-falana/amp/

That is in his opinion.I now wonder when Falana's opinion becomes the position of the law?

GOTVee:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, I will like to use this opportunity to thank my fellow Nigerian Christians for voting massively for the candidate with the Muslim/Muslim ticket. This election has proven that we Christians and our Muslim brothers are one. Peter Obi tried to divide us by running a religious campaign but we Christians stood our ground and rejected him. May God continue to bless we Christians and Muslims for bringing this renewed Hope to our great country

Come to Kaduna and visit Tudun wada or Kawo and tell the muslims there that you're one to see if you will come back alive.
Travel and see bro.

N3TRAL:


There will be no rerun. Tinubu has met the requirement of the law.

Dirty Yoruba wey like darkness and suffer

What has Tinubu done for that dirty place called West especially Lagos I have stayed for over 15 years. Trash stinking people

This is one thing I dislike about some of the Muslim clerics, they can even dress as bishops in order to reach Euphoria. How a chief imam like you who asked his members on the 24th of February, 2023 to vote Muslim Muslim ticket in order to Islamise the country come here again to claim a Christian.

GeneralPula:

Lol..

Fortunately, we’re using English!

The language is a very big mockery. The question of whether fct is a state or not shouldn't even be an issue here.
If that language is directly translated to Latin, then it means fct is a compulsory 25%.

25% in 24 states and fct( mentioning a name suggest it is not an option)
You must pot all balls and black ball to win a pool contest. ( The black ball is compulsory)

25% in 25 states (when you translate this, it appears exactly what it is)

A good patriot should help us create a thread on electoral candidates who won the first ballot but lost on the re-run...

Neoteny7:
Chai!

Falana why?

You've just shredded the last hope of the obidiotz.

What would the zombies do now?

Yell Biafra again as they've been doing for the past 40 years?

YOU WILL SEE BIAFRA ACTUALIZATION. YOU WILL SEE IT COME TO PASS. ASK THE ARAB WORLD ABOUT ISRAEL. THE IGBOS DON'T FORGET.

Pimine:

Like I said, anything you grasp to feed your delusions is ok....we just want you not to hurt yourself.

I'm sure your next whine would be: "Tinubu will never get a second term".

We heard it all with PMB. Behold the result!

Now, kindly stop interrupting my merrymaking as I bask in your misery and loss.

Egoat:

The judgement ruled in favor of Shehu tho.
I think Awolowo claimed the 2/3 of 19 states was 13 while the court insisted it was 12 and not 13.
Going by the judgement, the 2/3 of 37 states is 24 and not 25 but then I'm even confused the more as to why it's so.

Its because of the number of states won by Shagari, using the 2/3 makes it a decimal and the supreme court ruled that since its people we are talking about and you can't have decimal people so it has to be rounded off to 13, Awolowo was insisting that in that situation it should be rounded down to 12, Eventually the supreme court ruled that based on the cost and other issues involved in conducting a rerun then it is safer to round off to 13. Final judgement.

That's why Awolowo still felt aggrieved till he died that he was cheated. The truth is that if that election went on to run off I don't see Awolowo winning it.

BigBrother9ja:
Lol

OSŪS thought winning Lagos and Abuja is enough for you to be sworn in as president


I'm so happy God put them to shame

Osu just dey play

Why are you shouting?

I can hear your cries of woe and pathetic whimpering from all the way over here without the all-caps.

Israel, you say?

Hm.

The Arabs seem to be doing very well.... they've so much money they're buying up half the UK and US while Israel is grappling with a few ragtag garden variety terrorists next door.

No one cares about Israel save for their mistreatment of Palestinians.

Falana is not a baby in legal issue too. Well, court is there for them

Nnaworo:

Ask them o...

Femi Falana has to be a very interesting character...

He has not made any statement on the serial manipulation of results in this election but chose to jump the gun on a fundamental constitutional issue...

FatherOfJesus:
Keyamo wey no win any single case for EFCC

I no come know that one o.I’m not his fan bro I just know say lawyers too strong

Actually the court ruled in support of 12 and not 13 and it's reason Shehu Shagari won the case. Your claims are flawed.

Are you sure you are a born again Christian because if you really know the meaning of the word you be amazed.[color=#006600][/color]

Why everywhere quiet! Is there an obituary?

maestroferddi:
lol.

It is a serious legal issue...

There is no how the Abuja requirement could have been inserted into the construction if it were just meant to be a dud statement...

There is without doubt a prima facie case here...

Yeah, a very serious case.

I stopped explaining things to people when it became obvious that some of them were not seeing things from this angle. Interpretation of the law is a serious business!

There is no ambiguity here. Its simple English. You need to meet 3 requirements to become Nigerian President Elect on the first ballot:

1. Majority votes nationwide
2. 25% in 24 states
3. 25% in FCT

E.g. To pass GRE, you need to score 310 and above (here meaning majority votes) with 160 in Verbal reasoning (25% in 24 states) AND quantitative reasoning (25% in FCT)

It means you must score 310, then 160 minimum in the subjects mentioned. If you score 200 in verbal and 120 in quantitative, and vice versa, you have failed.

cursedAbiola:
then their will be a re-run which a simple majority will now win the election.
the constitution is clear here.
you can't appoint an administrator where you're rejected because that will no longer be democracy.
that's why the constitution was clear on that.

According to you then, a single candidate sweeping most of the votes in FCT alone is enough for a re-run regardless of all 36 others states

maestroferddi:

He is not a baby but he could be dead wrong...

Jesus is Lord

mymadam:


The 1983 Presidential Election comes to mind... The Shehu Shagari vs Obafemi Awolowo fiasco. It is well 🙌🏽

Modified: Sorry, 1979 was indeed the year of the scientific calculator 😂

It's 1979, not 1983. NPN "won" solidly in 1983.

You nailed it!

bazoodo:
the second run off just requires the winner to score the highest number of votes

So, according to you, a candidate sweeping all of FCT votes is enough for a rerun regardless of all other 36 states results
