0monnak0da: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 |

0monnak0da: 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. 1 Like

wegevv: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 1 Like |

wegevv: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 2 Likes |

ProphetM0hammad: 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 ❤️

wegevv:It's not about what i want to hear or not 25% is not difficult for APC that has spent 8 years in aso rock |

ProphetM0hammad: 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. |
Re: FCT Current Result: If Neither APC Or PDP Makes 25% Here, There Will Be Runoff by Ahuitzotl: 8:59pm On Feb 27, 2023 |
wegevv: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.. |

chinchum: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 |
