Is this a SAN? Who conferred SAN onto this senseless bigot? If, in future, a candidates wins all the 36 states with over 25% votes in each state but cannot win Abuja, nor secure up to 25% in the federal capital, is he not going to be a winner? Ozoani is a nitwit old fool. He just wants to disrupt peace in the land.

TINUBU IS PRESIDENT, KNOW THIS KNOW PEACE

You don’t know how to interpret law. Why has all other notable Igbo lawyers not quoted or faulted that section of the electoral law that this your charge-and-bail, house-agent lawyer quoted?

Do you think INEC too does not have legal department that would go through the whole results (ignore allegation of rigging for now) and pick out the issue of FCT if the winner didn’t meet that section of the law?

Always shifting the post to suit their narratives, we have never heard ofi this special 25% for Abuja till now, if that is the case then Nigeria will nerve have an elected president, because any presidential candidate who knows that he cannot win the election will just rush to the FCT and buy all the votes there to force a rerun, a very bad precedence

Its an absurd argument. It suggests that even if one candidate wins all the states 99 per cent and doesn't get the FCT 25 per cent then he doesn't win. That's not the correct reading. The provision which says 36 states and the FCT should be read conjunctively and not disjunctively.

Leave them. The earlier they realize they have lost, the better and quicker they will heal.

This issue is not this complex. The problem is because FCT has always been regarded as a different territory from the states technically.

First, common sense should dictate that the law cannot consider FCT people as more important than other states. If it does, there would have been more focus on lobbying votes within the FCT.

Second and most importantly, if you expand or paraphrase the provision such that instead of saying 36 states, you name them one by one, that is: " at least one quarter of the votes in two-thirds of Abia, Adamawa, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bauchi, Borno .........Zamfara and the FCT". Would this mean if you dont get 25% in Bauchi, or Anambra you cannot win the election? It becomes obvious that the FCT is part of the list and is only differentiated due to its separate categorization.

Some people just carry law degree for head without substance.

Don’t mind him. And the weyrey will be boasting around that he is a SAN. Any little discussion or arguments, he will mention how imhe is a SAN. Check im car and family car body, SAN and lawyer emblem full there. Even for him house. Olodo rabata.

This man's SAN should be withdrawn. If Abuja is a state as he has proven and you say 25% of 36 + 1(Abuja)... 25% of 37, Tinubu still won.

The Constitution does not give any special status to any of the federating units (states). In other words no state is superior to another, irrespective of Size, size of it's economy or population.
The Constitution sees Bayelsa the same way it sees Kano.
Saying a candidate MUST win FCT is according it a superior status and I think the SAN should know this is not so.
It's just pure emotional and tribal sentiments.

"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.
No, "and" there means " in addition to".
That phrase in the constitution means for you to be validly elected as the president of Nigeria, you must have 1/4 of votes in 2/3 of the state of the Federation.
Then in addition to that score 1/4 of total vote cast in FCT.
It's as simple as that.In fact, that phrase is self-explanatory.

It's a requirement that must be fulfilled before you will declaered the winner.
Weda u win 99% in all the states without FCT,u av not won yet.
A runoff election must be held in that case.
If a university says before you are admitted, you must score credit in 4 subjects AND English.
Can you then score credit in 8 subjects without English and be admitted into the institution simply because u av scored credits in even more than 5 subjects ?

Plus Abuja nah PDP State on a steady nah, then how come Buhari was sworn into office twice? Or is it in the new electoral law?
From the table you posted both Buhari and Jonathan scored above 25%sad47% and 51% respectively) in Abuja.
So what's your argument now?
