Bad losers are too much in our polity especially after embarking on a toxic campaign

" nator Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress has been declared the winner of the 2023 presidential election, but with his failure to win 25 per cent of the votes in the Federal Capital Territory, many fear this could provide sufficient grounds for his opponents to challenge his victory, Alex Emunah writes"

There is nothing strategic ambiguity here!
Bola Tinubu did not win 2023 presidential election. He failed to win 25% of votes in the Federal capital of Nigeria, Abuja. The 1999 constitution of Nigeria is very clear on who is elected president of Nigeria and who doesn't. Win popular votes, win 25% in 24 states and win 25 % of votes in Abuja, then, you are elected president of Nigeria.

So, my advice to Atiku Abubakar is prepare for run-off election. This case is going to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court will rule that no one won the presidency of Nigeria based on February 25,2023 results.

Who wants to bet on this?

U guys are still holding to unrealistic hope. APC has won n won well.

I think most people arguing about this are not using common sense and yes, the Supreme Court will decide but it's going to be a fairly easy decision for APC. If you can read up about why the USA treats Washington D.C like a state when it comes to electoral collage, you'll see it is the same system the Electoral Act tried to follow, it's pretty simple for people not looking to cause mischief!

there's nothing confusing about it. If LP mention that thing in court I swear the judge will burst into hysterical laughter. Here is the thing, if you open the constitution and read it you will see that anywhere 36 states of the Federal Republican of Nigeria is mentioned they also write and the FCT. Reason is this, FCT is not a state but it has all the privileges of a state. It's not a state in the sense that it doesn't have a governor and a House of Assembly but it gets all the privileges of every other state. So if you get 25% in 23 states and FCT you are good to go. FCT will represent the 24th state.

I honestly don't know how to interpret AND in English but mathematically or in computing, once AND is involved, both conditions must be true or met. Logically True and True = true
True and False = False.
Tinubu's case is True and False.
But I think we should just chill and let the Oldman do his tenure, maybe he will do well. I wish it was Obi Sha

Everything about this man is questionable. I don't know why. I know they will definitely turn the law upside down. Nigerians will not be in this mess if the evil party had given their to Osinbajo, Amaechi or Fayemi.

Joapotu:
All BRT money goes to Tinubu's nephew.
All market levies go to Tinubu's daughter
All billboard levies go to Tinubu's son
All taxes and tolls levies go to Tinubu

When I look at how Peter Obi rejected everything, including his gratuity, I realized Voting Obi is the sensible thing to do

But as a professional tribal bigot and naturally wicked, utterly hopeless and irredeemable Urchin, I still voted BAT

Beremx:
I was trying to explain that part of the constitution to a friend and i ended up being confused myself.
English language seems to be a very difficult one to understand.
Let Supreme Court interpret the constitution abeg before English scatter my brain 😐😐😐

iichidodo:
Because if they did then they have implicated themselves as to the fact that the election was free and fair..As long they hold out, thiefffnubu mandate will be very shaky and if the supreme court ruled in his favor, LP and PDP can always use the other bullet...25% for FCT...So thiefffnubu has a long way to go to legitimize and consolidate his mandate

Parachoko:
It was sent to INEC server at real time

Do you know what we do not know?

Can you show evidence the results were not send to INEC server at real time?

They promised to send it at real time and they failed to do so.

If I be Tilumbu and e sure for me gan say Nigerians want me, na me gangan go ask INEC for a re-run.
But we know what we know na. Deep down he knows in his heart that the generality of Nigerians don't love him. Baba sha wan be king of the ashes any which way
