In the matter pending at the presidential Elections Petitions Court, the 2nd and 3rd respondents have filed their final written address, which I will attempt to serialize here. Hopefully, NL mods are not averse to this information.

So. here we go again.

In the matter pending at the presidential Elections Petitions Court, the 2nd respondent has filed his final written address, which I will attempt to serialize here. Hopefully, NL mods are not averse to this information.

And that's why they pretend to hate him. Children of perdition.

But truly I say to you, great joy and jubilation shall descend the length and breadth of the land, on that day when his mandate and the voice of the Nigerian man and woman are finally restored to them.

We shall sing beautiful songs and make merry, for the promise of peace and hope has become our inheritance.

In lieu, happy birthday PO-

Civil servants in the rest of the country go to work from Monday to Friday and earn N100k.

Civil servants in the east go to work from Tuesday to Friday and earn the same N100k.

Very soon the eastern civil servants will be going to work for 2 weeks out of 3 for the month and still earn their N100k.

I think this isn’t fair to the rest of the country. Let them reduce their salary at least. How will I be working the whole month and earn the same with someone who works only half the month in the same civil service position?

Now I understand why the rest of the country is being pained about this sit at home. I don’t blame them at all.

Why are you not pained that civil servants in Kaduna do not work on fridays?.

Why would Peter Obi file a petition against Tinubu and INEC while neglecting Atiku?

A 3rd candidate looking for a stolen mandate, so after winning Tinubu at supreme court, then the battle will now Begins between the 2nd and 3rd candidate... When there is even nothing as such in our constitution.

Even if Peter Obi's petition is substantial, how would one advice the judges to rule on the matter without going against our constitution?

You're already displaying paranoia. Clearly scared to face the truth, and now, you're baiting us. Believe this, we are more cerebral endowed as you would wish to be the case, thank God. So, what happens, that's the clarification you seek?.

First, let us recall that Mr. Abubakar Atiku also filed petitions against the electoral umpire, both candidates of the APC, and APC herself. Why and what effect would his litigation have on the outcome of the justice's decision?.

In any case, I can assure you that Mr. Tinubu did not receive more votes than Mr. Atiku Abubakar did. This truth will be extrapolated from materials and witness statements presented at trial. Likewise, Mr. Tinubu's votes count ultimately remained below Peter Obi's as the trial insight will show. So, what to do?.

Let's consider these scenarios:

Mr. Atiku overcomes Mr. Tinubu and Mr. Obi vote count, but failed to secure 25% in the FCT.
Mr. Obi scored more votes than Mr. Tinubu and and Mr Atiku and also secures 25% in the FCT.
Mr. Tinubu remain below Mr. Obi and Mr. Atiku vote count and also received less that 25% of votes cast in FCT

This is the likely scenario, but what is the common denominator here?. Now, pay very close attention. Tinubu!. He received the least amount of votes among his closest competitors, Mr. Atiku and Mr. Obi. Further, both Mr. Atiku and Mr. Tinubu missed the FCT 25% mark.

Let's go back to what the constitution said:

Section 134:

1. A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have 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.

2. 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-
a. he has the highest number of votes cast at the election; and
b. he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

3. In a default of a candidate duly elected in accordance with subsection (2) of this section their shall be a second election in accordance with subsection (4) of this section at which the only candidate shall be-
a. the candidate who scored the highest number of votes at any election held in accordance with the said subsection (2) of this section; and
b. one among the remaining candidates who has a majority of votes in the highest number of States, so however that where there are more than one candidate with majority of votes in the highest number of States, the candidate among them with the highest total of votes cast at the election shall be the second candidate for the election.

In the event that the justices comes to a conclusion that Mr. Tinubu neither scored the highest number of votes, nor received 25% votes cast in FCT, he is automatically disqualified, and the next question is, who next is most qualified, taking the dictates of the constitution into cognizance. If they elect to order a rerun, who are the likely candidates?.

I will only go so far for now, but I'm interested in what you think will be the next logical outcome.

NB: For some of you who may to be tempted to launch your usual asinine attacks on the messenger in place of the message, I am able and capable in the various ways you operate. Let's keep it civilized and gentle, if you will. That's my preference, hopefully, yours too.

My mistake, Senator Kingibe and not Gwadabe, will do d correction. But thank God that's d only disagreement in my write up. In your heart of hears, u know am right, that on d FCT issue, Obi has no case and his petition would be going outa d window

I knew the name mix up was an unintended oversight. We understand. But that is where harmony ends between us in terms of the matter in discussion. You are well-informed regarding Section 134 (2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended and I quote verbatim:

“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.”

Having regard to the very letter or even the intent of the forgoing, the conjectures or innuendos vis-à-vis what the real intent of the writers is, is a discretionary exercise. Will you also make these same arguments if any of Peter Obi or Atiku Abubakar are sitting in Aso Rock tonight?.

I understand what's at stake, but we must endeavor to stand on the side of the truth as much as possible, or better still, at all times. This is one of such times.

You know why I will not reply your silly chest beaten as it raised its ugly head at your last paragraph beating chest wey don turn skeleton. Na you owned Nigeria from Nnewi ba? Dey whin yourself, na here we dey......

Odibembem:
The FCT has only one Senatorial seat, d one previously occupied by Ajuda now by Gwadabe. No other senatorial seat. Then just two Reps. And they are not elected to make law for d FCT but to represent FCT in making laws for the entire federation. In other words d FCT does not elect their own lawmakers, d rest of Nigeria jointly elect lawmakers for d FCT. The argument that they should elect d president cos he is their governor by having a veto over d rest of us makes no sense. Now what stopped d framers of the constitution from saying that a winner must have "25% in 2/3 of the 36 states and 25% in FCT"? Was it for lack of enough ink in their pen or lack of enough writing space and paper?

You need to get your facts right, my man.
The current senator for the FCT is Mrs. Ireti Kingibe of the Labour Party (LP).
