Lol

OSŪS thought winning Lagos and Abuja is enough for you to be sworn in as president

I'm so happy God put them to shame

Are you not ashamed to be talking... who thought obi will floor tinubu in Lagos with a party they say has no structure. You should be ashamed of yourself for spilling this rubbish. You choose a drug addict over an honest man same way the multitude choose Barnabas( a notorious thief) over Jesus Christ.

Even though I'm a born again Christian, I will like to use this opportunity to thank my fellow Nigerian Christians for voting massively for the candidate with the Muslim/Muslim ticket. This election has proven that we Christians and our Muslim brothers are one. Peter Obi tried to divide us by running a religious campaign but we Christians stood our ground and rejected him. May God continue to bless we Christians and Muslims for bringing this renewed Hope to our great country

keep deceiving yourself u think d Muslims like we Christians abi go to d north u will see what I’m talking about even Christmas time an Alfa post on his WhatsApp status that no Muslims should celebrate d Christmas with us that it’s haram u can even see d killings urself on d internet in d north killing d Christians calling Jesus a fake prophet I don’t think you’re a true born again Christian as u say

You're missing the bone of contention.
We are looking at the possibility of a rerun.
Do you need to compulsorily have 25% of FCT in particular to be declared a winner?

there is no rerun, rerun only happen when inec declare some polling units or LGAs inconclusive

maybe you mean run off illiterate people of Biafra

Peter obi couldn't give you monkeys education because education is not meant for the poor

25% in at least 24 states, + FCT..
25% in at least 24 states, and FCT..

There is a diff between those 2 up. Interpret properly and you’ll have your answer..

So from your interpretation, is FCT compulsory??

Re: 25% In FCT Not A Requirement To Emerge President – Falana by FatherOfJesus: 12:12pm On Feb 28, 2023

Egoat:

In simple terms please, what's your opinion?
24 states plus FCT compulsorily or 25 random states of the 37 states.

sincerely, Falana did not resolve the issue of 25% in Abuja.

He only talked about winning, you don't have to win Abuja to get 25%.

The constitution said the winner needs to score "25% in 2/3 of the states in the federation and FCT"

It's different from "the winner needs to score 25% in 2/3 of the states of the federation INCLUDIND the FCT"

The person that wrote that part of the constitution didn't carefully choose the right words

But the 2/3 of 37 states is not a whole number.
Or simply put, it's 25% of 25 states as against the popular 24 states?

It is 25. No controversy

DarkPheonix:

How can you not have over 25% of votes in a decentralize place like FCT and want to claim you won the election? Your acceptance in FCT shows that the people all over the country believe in you.
Anyone can easily go to their corner and pull anyhow numbers votes but you need to replicate it in FCT.

lol

Still makes no sense.

You have already won 36 states made up of all tribes and religions.

What in the name of Zeus' butthole do you need FCT for.?

1983 or 1979? I believe 1983 it was an overwhelmingly victory for the ruling party after the rigging of the elections by Npn, now pdp?

I am Bewildered that people are arguing this
We always says we have 36 states AND the fct
What the law is saying is that the fct although not a state show been given a statehood during elections
Thus making it a state..
There is no special thing about the fct that one has to win it.

You don't have to win it but must get 25% there. Buhari got in 2015 and 2019.

A renowned constitutional lawyer.

The Supreme Court has to clarify this clause.

Is it 25% plus FCT. Or 25% and FCT.

A SAN can’t say what he can’t defend

many San have different interpretations.

Falana doesn't know what he's saying because he didn't address the 25% thing. He only talked about winning.

The constitution did not say you have to win Abuja, you do not have to. It says you have to get 25% there. Falana didn't address that

Intrepid01:
@NothingDoMe this is what I was talking about. It is never a requirement .

I read what Falana said even before today. My points below still stand:

1. Section 299 says Abuja should be treated as if it were a state. Not that Abuja is a state.

2. This law(134) has never been tested in 23 years so Falana has no reference point.

3. Section 299 does not overwrite Section 134. If it did there would be references in the law linking them both together.

4. Even if Abuja is now a state according to 299, it doesn't change 134. As long as 134 still says :"and FCT" then that is the law.

5. It is not INEC's job to argue about the law but follow it as it is written. The Supreme Court interpetes the law not Falana.

This is why I earlier said that APC should have gotten an interpretation of the law before the elections. Falana decided that 299 overwrites 134 but it doesnt work like that. He has no right to change the law. Only the Supreme Court has the jurisdiction over this matter.
