Personally I felt the argument remain our ability or inability to interpret the wordings of the constitution correctly, so thought it was to seek the interpretations of an artificial intelligence and below is what ChatGTP has to say about Section 134 (2) of the CFRN 1999 provides that “A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected where, there being more than two candidates for the election, he has the highest number of votes cast at the election; and must have nothing less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.”


I copied the constitutional requirements above into an artificial intelligence machine for interpretations and below is what I got.

Election Criteria for President

User
Kindly explain the following in a simple English "(1) A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have be been duly elected, where, there being only two candidates for the election –
(a) he has the majority of votes cast at the election; and
(b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja."

This statement is about the election process for the office of the President. It says that if there are only two candidates running for the position, certain conditions must be met for a candidate to be considered elected. Here are the conditions:

The candidate must have the majority of votes cast in the election. This means they need to have more votes than the other candidate.
The candidate must receive at least one-quarter (25%) of the votes cast in each of at least two-thirds (66.67%) of all the states in the country, including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. In other words, they need to get a significant number of votes in most of the states.
If a candidate meets both of these conditions, they will be considered duly elected to the position of President.

Will a candidate who didn't get 25% in Abuja the federal capital territory but got 25% of the votes cast in each of at least two-thirds of all the states in the country be considered duly elected to the position of the president?

According to the statement you provided, in order to be considered duly elected to the position of President, a candidate must meet both of the following conditions:

The candidate must have the majority of votes cast in the election.
The candidate must receive at least one-quarter (25%) of the votes cast in each of at least two-thirds (66.67%) of all the states in the country, including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
If a candidate fails to meet either of these conditions, they would not be considered duly elected to the position of President. Therefore, if a candidate did not receive 25% of the votes in Abuja, they would not fulfill the second condition and would not be considered duly elected, even if they received 25% of the votes in each of at least two-thirds of all the other states in the country.

From the statement I provided, the phrase ... and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja Was used but you changed it to ...including the federal capital territory Abuja.

In a clearer terms are you saying these phrases puts a compulsion on the need to have 25% of the votes cast in the federal capital territory as a mandatory conditions that must be met?

Apologies for the confusion. You are correct, the statement you provided includes the phrase "and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja." This means that the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja is included in the requirement for a candidate to receive at least one-quarter (25%) of the votes cast in each of at least two-thirds of all the states in the country.

In simpler terms, it is mandatory for a candidate to obtain 25% of the votes cast in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, in addition to meeting the same requirement in at least two-thirds of all the other states, in order to be considered duly elected to the position of President. Failing to meet this requirement in Abuja would disqualify the candidate from being considered duly elected, regardless of their performance in other states.
