Yes and what happened to the and therein? it operates as a plus sign, signifying that the two items are to be added. The requirement is therefore conjunctive.

You must understand the diction of the Constitution. The territories are always referred to conjunctively as the 36 States and FCT wherever reference is made to them.

This matter has been with us all along. This is the lacuna we always warned about, but I am sure this intended ambiguity will now be tested at the SC.

livinbygrace:
You no go school ?You calculation is wrong and even though what’s needed is 2/3 only

I go school pass your papa and your entire village. Calculate your own make we see Mr. professor.

nairamaniac:
not correct. FCT is counted amongst the states to be secured with 25%

Nope.

johnjose68:
Olodo ni e.. Go school, you no gree.

The law states that add all the 36 states together with the FCT (which is equal to 37), and then two-third of that is the minimum requirement.

You want to start consoling yourself again and you will be disappointed again and again.

Remember, you can only cry, shout and raise dust.

Nothing you can do.

I discovered a long time ago that discussing with an illiterate is injustice to self. Bye.

Skankamola:
Yes im an illiterate, thats why im waiting for a rerun

Alignment and realignment will naturally occur in that case. Don't rejoice too early.

SmartyPants:
Wrong. The Law does not say you must win 25% in the States and then 25% of the FCT.

You must win 25% of the States and the FCT put together. Anyway you will understand better as the day goes on.

Read Section 134 (2) of the constitution, pay attention to the word "And" contained therein.

dat9jaguy:
FCT is not regarded as a state hence the emphasis on FCT. It just means the candidate must get 25% of votes in 24 states +1 state =25 states.
That is why in the constitution Nigeria comprises of 36 states plus FCT.

You're wrong. Read the constitution, Section 134 (2).

rickleye:
That’s dumb so what happens if there’s a rerun and Obi gets 90%. Meaning non of the others can be announced winners despite Obi not getting 25% of the other 25 states !

I think it means you have to get 25% of 25 states ( 36 states + FCT (37 technically ) )

In a rerun, a candidate only requires a simple majority to emerge winner. It's in the constitution.

Roboto11:
Mumu people including Agbakoba.

So a candidate would be so popular in Abuja and Abuja alone such that he gets 90% vote.

Those that won across the country would now embark on a runoff simply because of this reason and this makes sense to reasonable people?

That's what the book says. You've gotta do 25% in Abuja to climb the rock. It's that simple!.

Skankamola:
Obidense people wont get it.

You talk like an illiterate. Read your constitution if you can understand what it says.

You must secure 25% of the votes cast in 24 states and FCT to become president.

Tinubu FCT Score:

90902 / 478923 * 100 = 18,980.......

= 18.9%

Atiku FCT Score:

74199 / 478923 * 100 = 15,492.......

= 15.4%

Basis:

Section 134 (2) of the Nigerian constitution.

You must secure 25% of the votes cast in the FCT. Tinubu and Atiku failed to meet this requirement.

babaolofin:
What is na lie? Are you an IBO? I attended University in IBO land several years ago, you have just displayed one of their attributes. The person is telling the truth nearly everybody knows, you are saying na lie.

Your have only succeeded in yelling " I am a Yoruba tribalist". We have Igbo in Nigeria, not IBO.

Misterone:
person when don get 25% in 24 states since yesterday

Na lie. And, do not forget FTC.

Again, as in Edo, Tinubu falls short of the 25 percent rule. This count is the second constitutional determinant factor.

42572 ÷ 173111 × 100 = 24.5923136023

That's 24.5 percent, folks.

These numbers are massively rigged.

However, the big takeaway here is that the riggers failed in their mathematics, so, Tinubu did not make the cut, thus:

Percentage required of votes cast = 25%
Votes cast = 600,395.
Tinubu rigged votes = 144,471

Calculation:

144,471 ÷ 600,393 × 100 = 24.062738906

= 24.0%

Edo ticket cut.

yusfatedeeprof:
Don't you think the difference in Tinubu and Obi votes in Osun, Katsina, Gombe, Yobe and Adamawa has already cancelled all of SE vote? And these are states Tinubu didn't even win

I can guarantee you and fellow urchins that this election will not have the outcome you desire. Btw, have you seen the numbers coming out of Anambra?. That's what an authentic candidate do.

Y'all need to wait for Edo, Delta, Plateau, Benue, Fct and many others.
Learners!

yusfatedeeprof:

Do you mean APC result writing?. Too bad Lagos was a tough nut to crack, and couldn't write the results on his own doorsteps in spite of all his efforts. We now know Tinubu is a political mouse.

We still have a good way to go, and we do not fall for your cheap blackmail.

Shameless urchins.

Ttalk:
Hate has scattered your brain. This is the main reason why president position will continue to elude you. When everyone is performing their civic right and praying that their candidate should win, you are here fixated on Tinubu and Yoruba. You will never do well if your ambition in life is to hate Yoruba.

Omo ale jatijati

At my age, my exploits have trumped the cumulative achievements of your ancestry and growing. But, I know the truth hurts. Make una repent, lest we give una Buhari's 5% treatment from May 29th.

I really wish I am in the southeast today. But I have to vote in the north, having flown for 12 hours to do so.
