I was shocked when Yakubu declared Tinubu the winner instead of declaring the election inconclusive

Then does the statement means James and his wife will produce at least 5 persons each (10+) or both of them will produce at least 5 persons?

teeshet:
møron, he got 35% which is more than enough requirement (25%) to get reelected

Tinubu has relocated to Defence house in Maitama, Abuja. With plenty security details.

Based on the interpretation of Section 133(b) of the 1999 Constitution as amended, a presidential candidate cannot be declared the winner of the presidential election if he or she fails to win the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The section requires that a presidential candidate must have not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all states in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

The word "and" in the section is interpreted as conjunctive, meaning that it requires the fulfillment of all the conditions that it joins together. Therefore, winning the FCT is a necessary requirement for a presidential candidate to be declared the winner of the election.

The FCT is considered a state under Section 299 of the 1999 Constitution as amended, and the provisions of the Constitution apply to it as if it were one of the states of the Federation. Therefore, winning the FCT is essential for a presidential candidate to meet the constitutional requirements for the office of the president.

If a presidential candidate fails to win the FCT, the only available path for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is to call for a fresh nomination, according to Section 133(b) of the Constitution.

These people are daft and gullible !
They expected Peter Obi to win in the North because he won 98% in Enugu
Thus the reason most of their leaders did not support Obi
Did Obi win in Yorubaland too

To gain admission into a university you must have at least 5 credits in five subjects with math and english.
Saying tinubu won the election withoue 25% in fct means you are saying you just need 5credits wthout maths and english to gain admission.

You are 100% correct That is just the simple logic.
Time will tell.

He got more than 25% in fct which is a compulsory requirement to return elected

senseless urchin

You yarobas are utterly disgusting and hateful cretins

Yet they supported Obi. Do you think obi would have gone far without the Yoruba? The same Yoruba who accommodated you worthless lots in the same Lagos, Southwest is who you call disgusting? Election don finish, una go hear am henceforth.

nonsense talk

Na them them.

You guys should be discussing about 2031 election.

I'm very sure Tinubu will handover presidency to north in 2031.

Una never see anything.

Abuja citizens are special citizens? 😂😂😂

So all citizens outside FCT are not Nigerians or what?

Rephrase your submission to read To gain admission into a university you must have at least 5 credits in 5 subjects and Mathematics and tell me if Mathematics is inclusive or exclusive of the 5 subjects.

Ibo SAN, we don hear you


Lols , so IPOB too get SAN

The Olodo SAN. How did this Ozoani become a SAN?

When did 2/3 of 36 states and the FCT become you must win the FCT outright?

I'm not interested in those below-standard elections but the SAN or the reporter are labouring 'disjunctively'. The conjunction 'and' simply means 'plus'. If Abuja is treated as a state then we have 36 states plus one state = 37 states. Did Tinubu lawfully get the required ¼ of votes lawfully cast and lawfully recorded in ⅔ of the 37 states? That is what should be taken to court, please.

demoBaba:




The present president didn't win FCT in 2019.

He doesn't need to win, but he had at least 25% in FCT as stipulated

0monnak0da:
I continue to use this example
Man dies and in his will he says
Divide my property equally between mY four sons AND my one daughter

Does this mean the daughter gets half and the four sons get the other half?

It simply means divide his property between his 5 children in equal measure

Parachoko:
Make e go go tell Atiku and Obi

More revelations, insight and intrigues. Thanks you respected jurist.

We are all Nigerians oooo

We dey look how things are unfolding whatever happened affect everyone.

Because i cant imagine APC for the Next four years again after the sufferings in the land.

This is not about Religion, Party affiliation, or Tribe.

APC is a big FAILURE.

Nigerians Will be so happy if Supreme Court rules for re election

WATCHOVER:

Am not Igbo I bet you need a hot slap for talking like a child! You must always listen to message not the messenger.
What he said is 100% correct but looking at the recent sceneries conducted by Supreme Court one is afraid justice might not be served.
Our Judiciary has now become a scam

it is you that need the slap. So someone win 36 states and loser fct he will not be elected. This is why waec English is so important

Higher ranked Sans work with INEC and they have divergent views.

No

The first person to have started breaking electoral laws was buhari when he showed publicly his vote what then do you now expect? make we forget Nigeria matter. Abi is it not the same electoral laws that states that for a candidate to be declared winner he must have won 2/3 of the vote cast across the 36 states and 25% in the fct what then happens to winning 25% in FCT

Georgejeez:


It simply means divide his property between his 5 children in equal measure

But the SAN will tell you that AND means equally between the sons on the one hand and the daughter on the other.

In our culture people would have no problem with that conclusion if it was four daughters and one son.

Throwback:


"And" that exist without a comma?

The law states that "25% in 2/3 of the 36 States of the federation and Abuja,..."

Meaning 37 possible sources from which 25% can be obtained.

2/3 of 37 is 25 (to make it a whole)

Tinubu already secured 25% in 28 states.

So no case here at all.

If Abuja was an ordinary state, why give it a special mention?!
The clause should be expunged since it is not useful.

basilo102:
Abuja is regarded as a state in the law but "and" is conjucive. Therefore 25% is compulsory in " Abuja state"

If Abuja is regarded as a state, then it will be counted amongst the state won or lost but not as a compulsory
