This has been in contention for a while and will still be till a stand is given at the supreme court of Nigeria.

Recently on a Broadcast on Channels, the Vice Presidential aspirant of the Labour Party Datti Baba Ahmed urges the President and the Chief Justice of Nigeria not to participate in the swearing in of the president elect Bola Tinubu on May 29, 2023.

On this thread on twitter, I found some supporters using Chat GPT to derive judgement in this matter.

And lastly someone asked Chat GPT to interpret Section 299 of the constitution if it means FCT is a state:

Question
According to section 299 of the constitution is FCT regarded as a State?

Answer
Section 299 of the Nigerian constitution provides that "The Provision of this constitution shall apply to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja as if it were one of the states of the Federation"

Based on this provision, it can be inferred that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) is not regarded as a State in Nigeria, but is treated as if it were one of the states of the federation for the purpose of the application of the constitution. This means the constitution applies to the FCT the same way it applies to other states of the Federation, with certain modifications and exceptions as may be necessary due to its unique status as the capital territory of Nigeria.

In my own opinion, i think this above nails it!

Based on the Nigerian constitution, Nigeria has 36 states and the FCT. So the FCT is an entity in its own world.

That's settled already. For you to be declared winner you must win 25% in the FCT. It is a constitutional requirement. FCT has a special status. APC weren't expecting to perform so badly in FCT being the incumbent party, so it took them by surprise.

Yakubu Mahmoud declared Tinubu in error and put the Judiciary on trial by saying 'Go to court', because he believes there are corrupt Judges who are pro-Tinubu and who would stand logic on it head. Will the Courts prove him right? The world watches keenly.

Una too dull for this country…. It’s say 25% of 24 state out of the 36 state + fct which will make 37 state

FCT is not among the 36 state if you can make 25% in FCT it’s valid and will be added to the 36 state


So if a candidate win only FCT and lost the rest 36 state to his opponent that means the election is void Abi…?

If a candidate wins in 2 states, loses in 34 states but gets 85% in the FCT, while those who won in 24 states or more share the remaining 15% in FCT... I guess by your logic, the bigger loser will be declared winner because he won in the FCT? Think am...it doesn't make sense

Bashirudeen, You must meet the two conditions.

1- Win the highest votes count

2) Win 25% votes of the FCT.

Tinubu clearly did not meet the second requirement, even though the first remains a matter of litigation.

My brother don't use emotions to interpret this section of the constitution. Hillary Clinton won more votes than Trump but Trump became president due to the higher electoral college voted.

The FCT is not a state. They don't have a governor. They don't have a house of assembly. It is akin to the US electoral college votes. When you use "and" it means additional to. It is different from "including". Moreover the supreme Court already explained this same matter in 2007/2008 in the case between Buhari and Yaradua. And they said you must get at least 25% of the votes cast in the FCT.

APC made a mistake. They probably forgot to fight hard in the FCT. I don't know how they made such a mistake.

You have to call people dull to make you sound smart abi?
What is your qualification to make you think that your interpretation is the right one?
Note: Constitutional lawyers have given different interpretations to the provision. at least we know their qualifications.

My view is Nigeria consists of 36 federating units and a federal capital. So FTC is not a state. The framers of the constitution I believe knew what they were doing, when they insert the clause "... and the FTC". So in this clause the FTC has the same rights as of 36 states. This then means we should be looking at 2/3 of 37 as the FTC is seen as equal to any of the 36 states under this specific clause.
