Guy you are not going to teach me English
Abuja is not listed as a state. But for the purpose of presidential election it's status is ELEVATED To that of a state which ordinarily it is not
You are entitled to your interpretation
That Buhari rigged election is irrelevant nonsense
This conversation is going nowhere

So can we close?
As Abuja is not a state nor part of the federation but a figment of imagination in which in your opinion needs "elevation" to exists in the constitution then we just have to close this vertical capping....

Shagari had 25% and above in only 12 out of 19 states in 1979 and was declared president. The 2/3rd rule was contensious in that election. The supreme court was the final arbiter. The judge in his final ruling stated "my hands are tied....."

Edited: 12 out of 19 states

As it stands.

According to constitution, winner must get 25% in FCT

Simple English but people prefer to read the constitution in their tribal language lol. Chatgpt to the rescue.

My FCT people are for anyone but APC ❤️

It is elevated probably because unlike Nigerian states, FCT has no gubernatorial election. It is the president that appoints the minister of FCT who basically governs the territory.

So it makes sense that a presidential candidate should be moderately popular there to win on the first ballot.

Let me school you since you are struggling with English

It means you must have 25% in 24 states, including fct

That means if you have 25% in 23 states and you have 25% in fct, that's still a total of 24

It's not your fault
I blame the person that wrote that for not putting it in simpler terms

I don't know if it's angels that are in Abuja or the people living there have more electoral importance that's why you must get 25% there

Doesn’t matter. It’s what the constitution says in simple English.

But if you’re looking for an explanation it’s simple; Unlike other states FCT doesn’t have an elected governor or gubernatorial elections. The President appoints a minister that basically governs the state.

It makes sense that that president has to be moderately popular in the capital.

I know it’s not what you want to hear but the written sentence is clear and there’s a reasonable reason for it too. Hope this helps ❤️

It's not about what i want to hear or not

You would think so right?

Unfortunately APC spent 8 years giving us the worst federal government in the history of our country lol.

One LGA to go and it is likely to push APC below 25%

That's NOT true. It simply means that Abuja is included in the number of states that has to make two-thirds, which is approximately 24.

Yeah, I see it now...So if I win say 30 states with 25%,then it must include the FCT.So you would say ' I have won 29 states AND Fct" or in another scenario" I won 27 States And Fct" In all of these cases, FCT must be among according to the constitution..

Shagari had 25% and above in only 11 out of 17 states in 1979 and was declared president. The 2/3rd rule was contensious in that election. The supreme court was the final arbiter. The judge in his final ruling stated "my hands are tied....."
There were 19'states
Shagari got 25% in 12 states
He got 19% in Kano. Noteworthy for those who think The North vote one way.
Kano then included Jigawa
The constitution said 25% of 2/3 of the states but ALSO. defined 2/3 as 13 states

Richard Akinjide of NPN came up with the argument that 2/3 of 19 is 12 2/3 not 13
So 25% of 2/3 is 1/6 or 16.666% and therefore 19% in Kano was enough
Awolowo went to court. He was his own lawyer. He argued two points
1. The constitution had explicitly stated that 2/3 was 13
2. There was nothing like 2/3 of a state
The Supreme court agreed with Akinjide and also said in future it should be 13
Obasanjo was Head of state. The general consensus was The military under Obasanjo manipulated the court
The court case ran from August to September and Shagari was sworn in on October 1 as the 1st executive president of Nigeria
That is the 12 2/3 story
This time the constitution is silent on what 2/3 of 37 is but it has been assumed to be 24
