I don't know if the post about Falana saying 25% in the FCT is not a requirement is true but if it is then someone needs to go back to school real fast and immediately.

The law says a candidate will be said to win "if they get 25 percent in two third of the States and the FCT.

"two third of 36 is equivalent to 24 states." But the FCT is mandatory cause it is not a State, it was never a State but a federal government territory. The and word is not an optional word but a mandatory additional "conjunction"(note the keyword). "Father and Mother, not Father or mother.

Nobody says "37 States" but "36 States and the FCT"!

If the law says something most happen in all 36 States and the FCT, it simply means the FCT is mandatory, not an option. Same as 24 states and the FCT. If I say "bring me 24 apples and the green one", you do not bring 30 apples and say the extra numbers substitute the green one. You don't! This is law, it's also simple English. And English and the law doesn't bend over night to suit one person, I think.

The real question is who goes to run-off now that all the candidates have fallen short of the lawful requirements, yet all three have still met two of three requirements?

Tinubu has been declared already, you can keep crying 😛😀

Obidient una no dey tire..!!! Trying to make a legitimate win look illegitimate by trying to turn English upside down.. I think obidient are actually the lowest thinkers and probably the illiterates in Nigeria.. YOU ARE TRYING TO BE CLEVER BY HALF!! TRYING TO SEPARATE THE CONTEXT OF THE CONSTITUTION FROM THE SECTION OF THE ELECTORAL LAW. THE ELECTORAL LAW DRAWS ITS POWER FROM THE CONSTITUTION... so FCT to understand it in regards the elections you still have to go bact to where the electoral law draws its power which is constitution and there FcT has the status of state in Nigeria which gives rise to "36 state and the FcT" .. The guy showed the constitution which is the same context I spoke to u about earlier.. English is about context... Because the FcT has a special status, that is why when referring to states u say 36 states and FcT... This 1 of the first things taught in primary school.. State and capital.. After the 36 state u must call FcT Abuja.. U don't say 37 states..
The requirement interpretation simply means picking up your 25% in any of the 37 "states" of Nigeria (which is 36 states plus FcT).. This is why we still write Toelf and ielts, when graduates can't understand simple English in the context it is being used.


You would have made more sense without making trying to throw insults. I’m not obidient, I’m just a Nigerian like you that wants the best for the country whoever wins should be elected in the right way free, fair and transparent. You’re talking like you know all coupled with the insults you started off with which makes me believe you’re not so enlightened as you claim to be. In what it’s what I won’t follow you and drag anything you’re entitled to your opinion but learn to respect whomever and whoever you’re talking to be it far or upfront with you. As a true omo towotowo (Respect) That’s 1 of the first thing you’re taught in the primary place of learning your home

Simple English that you people refuse to understand.


Get 25% of (36 states + FCT)

= 25% of 37 states


Because FCT is to be treated as a state.


We have 36 states in Nigeria. But if you want to include FCT, it means we have 37.

So, 25% of 37 states(including FCT taken as a state) is required.

You all know this but because you want to use it for your selfis.h interests.


JAGABAN IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

Google will also help you to find the truth


2/3 of 37 states = the answer is not a whole number

we cannot have 24.66 states.


So you are wrong and google have successfully decieved you

Oya na, go and conduct governorship, and local government election in Abuja since it's just like Abia. What are you waiting for?
the Governor of Fct is the President, he administer the territory through a minister, and yes they do conduct local government elections to the 6 area councils.
