falana na SAN ooo

Hope u know

These are d same people that will defend anything they say in court to a large extent, so he knows better before talking

A SAN can’t say what he can’t defend

You don't need to win FCT is different from you don't need to have 25% ?? Buhari lost FCT in 2015 and 2019 but secured 25% in both elections.

You didn't have to refer to a group of people like that. There are better words you could use.

It's sad that nairaland moderators have essentially taken a break.

This should warrant your account and IP ban but I'm sorry that the mods might not take action.

Firstly, Shagari won this same election in 1983
Exactly something like this. 12 states out of 19.
Secondly, even if a runoff is declared, Obi isn't the runner up. That's my fear. Rerun would be between Atiku and Tinubu.

1979 not 1983

EmekaA125:

So from your interpretation, is FCT compulsory??

The FCT is compulsory 25% to win

Nigeria practice very similar election like America and we know it. In America there are compulsory state u must win or u loss the election.

OBI is the winner of 2023 presidencial elections!

Common sense should tell u that tinubu has lost by losing lagos and losing Abuja. And tinubu did not get 5% in all south east.

Tinubu lack the required spread!

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

It is not a must to get 25%
The constitution says get 25% in 2/3 of the 36 states and the fct, the fct was simply added to the 36states.

Sincerely, this current INEC have really tried. Let's give it up to them. No Election in the World is 100% Perfect. Even the last almighty USA Election that brought in Joe Biden was falted internationally than this Nigeiran Election. Yet Joe was declared Winner.

For those that may not understand the Excellence of what INEC has done so far, do you know that till this very Day there are no official results for the 2007 Elections. Results from 11 States were announced and INEC declared Yaradua the winner with 24m votes. Yaradua a true Muslim that couldn't hide his surprised, wondered what happened when he has not gotten up to 35% of what Tinubu has now gotten and he was declared Winner.
Against all Odds, Tinubu has Won this Election already. He should be Declared Winner without any further Delay so that we can all now focus on how to make Nigeria to Progress.
Like if you Know that INEC has has been much more Fair than USA Electrical Body did in their last Election, Share if not.

Exactly. You can take Tinubu to court after INEC declares him winner very soon.
But nothing stops his impending victory

Houseontherock1:
Why should Abuja even be a prerequisite for winning election? Doesn't make sense

because Abuja has no elected governor. The president is the elected governor of the FCT. He only appoints a minister to carry out those duties. If Abuja is regarded as a state it also has area councils it's only fair any president should score even the majority of votes cast in the FCT

Obi will make the runoff because according to the constitution, the runoff will be the person with the popularity votes and the person with the highest number of states won. However, I want a rerun between APC and PDP

Stop kidding yourself So you think someone from Abuja can decide to run for president, win the entire area denying other contestants 25% of the votes in FCT and use it to hold the entire country hostage even if he doesn't win anywhere else and more popular candidate win in 30 states? So If Kwankwaso were from FCT and contest everytime no one will ever be president? You think the people who drafted the constitution are retarrds?

You are logical... Kwankwaso will just be contesting in FCT every four years.

I don't trust Igbos. they have tampered with the results in Lagos and Abuja.

For Atiku to come third in FCT where Northerners plenty, then something is fishy.

Whoever started the obidient movement had it all planned out but unsuspecting Nigerians didn't know. Just like Emefiele, there are people in INEC working against Nigeria.

Falana, the learned silk is obviously progressing in error in his interpretation of the electoral statute. Anyway, it is for our learned Justices of the Supreme Court to either concur or repudiate his assertions

This shouldn't be an argument na.

What's so special about the FCT.

Those arguing with Falana are trying to say that a candidate cannot be declared President if he wins 36 states but fails to get 25 percent in the FCT.

Does this even make sense?

Na dat 25% be the problem.

Falana is talking about outright win in the FCT. He did not and could not address the 25% prerequisite.

It's an uncharted territory.
