Interpret both statements please

The first statement means that he has at least 25% in two-thirds of all the states in Nigeria and the FCT.

The second statement means that he has at least 25% in two-thirds of all the states in Nigeria and the FCT.

They're the same thing.

The first is 25% in all 25 states combined together.

The second is 25 % in 24 states, state by state(individualistic), and the FCT.

Statement A:
he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Here Abuja is clearly seen as part of the states and all the candidate is requred is to score one quarter votes in at least 2/3 of all states even without Abuja and still will win the election.

Statement B:
he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja..

Here "in each of" separates Abuja from other states and when a candidate passes the one quarter requirements in at least 2/3 of all states he also needs to get one quarter in FCT to win.

Statement A means having 25% in two third of all the States including fct.
Statement B means having 25% in two third of the States on one hand and 25% mandatorily in fct on the other hand.

The only difference there is you changing the positions of the words to form a statement you feel okay with.. News flash, the courts will decide.

Now walk into any motherless babies home and donate the 20k to them. #Cheers!

Lol. Seriously?

Do you have a constitution with you?

Go to section 179(2) to check the similar provisions for the qualification of a Governor.

I quote it for you:

"he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the local government areas in the State, but where the only candidate fails to be elected in accordance with this section, then there shall be fresh nominations."




The each there is to specify and unequivocally declare that every local government is counted when calculating at least two-thirds.

That's what the each does in 133 and 134 also.
In law we will read it in conjunction with 299. "In each of at least 37 states"

this does not apply here and both are not comparable. It can only apply if the Constitution adds some extra to it. For instance like two thirds in each of all local governments in Lagos states and Ikeja. This makes Ikeja mandatory.
