Look the contradictions in your senseless narratives. If the results were rigged, APC would not have lost the states in their strongholds. As long as the core north would always never vote and ibo man, there's no way Obi would win, he failed woefully in the core north. And from all indication. ibos are the biggest riggers for the fact that neither APC nor PDP won a single state in the SE but 99% was rigged for their son.

This is just grammar. In every context, whether in nysc, census, etc, Nigeria division is referred to as 36 states and fct. If they now say something (24) in 36 states and fct, that means if you won in 23 states + fct making 24, then you're qualified because fct is seen as one of the states. It doesn't mean fct is a mandatory or compulsory.

If it's not clear to you that the election was rigged, there's really no spiritual or scientific remedy for you.

Goodluck didn't win Northeast and Northwest states and he won in 2011.



Besides Obi was voted in some Northeast and Northwest states despite massive rigging.


Taraba
Kaduna
Sokoto
Bauchi
Gombe
Adamawa



So what are you blabbing young man?

DMerciful:
Mike Igini of INEC already cleared this before election

femisplash:

Except Taraba which is NC with Minority Christian Pleateu & Nassarawa, Obi failed woefully in Core North.

JuicyStar:


Mike Igini interpretation must be in line with the intent of the drafters of the section of the constitution. And I think that the section should be amended so as to clear what people might call ambiguous.

However as it stand now the right interpretation should be that the FCT must be included as a State in the Federation for the calculation of the two-thirds. That’s the only way the conjunction of “and” can make sense. The two-thirds of the Federation should stand at 24.7 States of the “36 + 1” States” in consideration. Going by the mathematical rule of approximation when a figure is higher than 5, it then means that for a candidate to be declared the President, the candidate must have the majority of votes cast at the election; and also has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in at least 25 of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

DMerciful:
He said it before election so couldn't have change in the middle of the game

Cyberterror:
False narrative. FCT is considered a state in this regard and does not have a special 25% of its own.

Obaofaba:


It's not true, Falana has already put the record straight.

Asiwaju is our president elect.

suxkill:


Op for get those agbado urchins who seems to be blind when the truth is staring them at their faces.

I told some one about this 25% on election day because I watched the electoral officer live on Arise TV precisely on the morning show about 2 weeks ago.

He clarified it that once a presidential candidate does not get 25% in the FCT, his result is inconsequential..

Btw all we ask INEC is to follow the rules it has set.

Thiefnibu will not rule us insha Allah

JuicyStar:


The interpretation of any section of the constitution lies with the courts and not with even the INEC section to interpret. Mike was giving his own personal interpretation and not speaking for INEC. The said Section 134 (2) of the constitution doesn’t form part of any policy or election guideline to be interpreted by INEC.

At the end of the day, I guess it’s the court that will settle the matter.

Ode, Taraba is Northeast.



So you still believe in the doctored election?


Obi performed well in Taraba a NE state

Kaduna a Northwest state.

Bauchi and Gombe both Northeast states.




Performed excellently well in Northcentral, so what next?


Go and check election result of 2011 and the States Goodluck won.....NW and NE hardly vote Southern Christians yet Obi got good votes from there.



Real politicians are already fearing Obi and a small boy like you is on Nairaland barking for nothing lol

Trollronaldo:
you will not listen to the INEC commissioner. You will be putting your won interpretation.

You must get 25% in FCT. The constitution was clear on this

madridguy:
PMB and Masari lost Katsina. That is ok.BAT and Sanwo Olu lost Lagos that is perfect. Adamu and Sule lost Nassarawa that is good. El Rufai lost Kaduna, Ganduje lost Kano, Badaru lost Kebbi, Mala Buni lost Yobe, Inuwa lost Gombe, Lalong lost Plateau, Ayade lost Cross River.

If after all these, you still believed this election is rigged. You need to work on your spiritual life.

But BAT didn't get 25%in FCT.

Constitution said he must to be declared winner

Ogonimilitant:
the constitution did not use the word "and"/FCT It said in 24 states including FCT

JuicyStar:


Exactly. The word used was “and” which didn’t give the FCT a special recognition of its own. It only sees FCT as an addition of the 36 states. So the 25% puts all of the 36 states and Abuja altogether

leokid866:
you are ignorant.....you don't need 25% in rhe fct.....the fct is excluded because it is not considered a state.....if you add the fct then Nigeria has 37 states not 36.....

Katcall:
a candidate must secure 25% in 24 states, and fct not 25% in 36 states plus fct. use your brain for christ sake

Katcall:
you are wrong. 25% in 2/3 of 36 states and fct means you must garner 1/4 of votes in 24 states and abuja
