You must be an animal to describe a human being like that. Shame!

Femmyfamous4u:


Can't you use brain? Don't you know it's in decimal? The law said at least 24+ and someone has 28 and you're bleating?

genkins:


Lol..what's 'around'?

Around is the correct word. Similar thing played out in the case of Awo vs Shagari. Since you cannot have decimal of a person, if you win 24 out of the 37 states as a presidential candidate, and since 2/3 of 37 is 24.666..., the 25th state will LIKELY be given to you if you can get close to 25% there i.e from 20% upwards.

A precedent was set in that case of Awo vs Shagari, that is why till Awo died he believed he was robbed that the election was supposed to go into a run-off

The truth is that no tribunal will order a run-off general election on a very minute thing like that (considering the cost, time and vacuum in govt it may likely create).

So, the person that said around 25 is on track, the final say now lies with the supreme court in case such situation presents itself.

Thoughtful summision though I suspect the constitution meant 25% in 2/3 of the states and the FCT is not a state.

That is what the supreme court will clear once and for all this time. Although a supreme court judgement on that issue earlier saw the supreme court ruled that FCT is meant to be given a state status and thus is the 37th state of the federation, but it specifically said that it was only for the purpose of that particular case and should not be used as a precedent for future cases. For it coming up again this time around they will have no option but to say clearly if it is the 37th state or should never be seen as a state but having a special status of determining the president of FRN.

tesppidd:
That's why I said they use 24 in order to play safe, err on the side of caution.

If they use 25 states, somebody who makes only 24 states will go to court and argue that 24.6 states is not up to 25.

Hence the use of 24.

And you think 24.6 is not more than 24?

On point

Election is an expression of numbers not grammar

So mathematically 36 + 1 FCT is what ??

where there is + can you refuse to sum up

Dey play

But mathematically geographic entity cannot be expressed in fractions. E.g nothing like one and a half LGA, state or country.True or false? . What's 2/3 of 37?
