Which law?

Does the law say "25% of two thirds of states and FCT" or "25% of two thirds of states and 25% of FCT"?

Make una continue to find hope where none exists.

It will end in tears and insults

Let them daft oblivious Obidients Keep deceiving themselves.

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

You missed the most critical and important word in the act, AND the FTC, it did not say IN the FTC.

You pandora people really need to learn how to read and comprehend simple English.

They are not the once that wrote the constitution. In such senerior their will be a rerun. It is also in the constitution.

Go AND drink sniper and die.
Tinubu is president elect of Nigeria, ibos are not the only Nigerians.
Only ibos are trying to scuttle it because obi failed

pquaver:



It is not mandatory.. English is used in context. And according to the constitution is used conjunctively meaning to bring 2 things together. 36 states of the federation and Fct Abuja mean the two brought together.. Examples abound : Bread and butter, rice and beans, taye and kehinde, peter and paul used to show 2 persons are together 1 in the cases of twins. So it shows the provision of the constitution applies to them together.. Let me kind of explain it you mathematically...
The constitution says Fct all provisions will apply as if it is a state.. What this means in constitution is Nigeria states are from Abia to zamfara (36 states of the Federation) and Fct abuja.. Apples and oranges = apples together woth oranges, rice and beans =rice together with beans.. Taye and kehinde together as twins. 36 states and fct is 36 togetwith fct.
Nigeria states = 36 states of the Federation and fct
Let Nigeria states be x
X = 36 states of federation and the fct

So the provision of the law in the constitution applies to X.
25% in 2/3 of X = spread.. Where X= 36 states and fct Note the aim of the constitution here is to achieve a spread and not that a candidate votes only from a particular region acquire their votes... Fct is North central.. So your compulsory fct requirement immediately nullifies the reason the constitution wanted a spread. That means if i get my spread in other states of the Federation say i win and get 25% 34 states of the Federation a candidate who does not make 25% in say 30 states and wins abuja like kwankwaso won kano abuja maybe he is from abuka and popular, he immediately renders such a spread null amd void, that is against the spirit of the constitution..
Let me make it clearer..
If you sell food and i ask you..
Madan please i need 10 plates of Rice and beans.. Will you give me 10 plates of rice mixed with beans or will you bring 10 plates of rice and 10 plates of beans..

Another example.. Please give peter and paul 500 naira.. Will you give a total of 500 naira that the both share or you bring out each 500 to make 1000 naira in both case you will do the formmer 10 plates of rice mixed with beans and 500 to peter and paul..

I dont know if you are trying to be mischievous or you natural ignorant of use of English... Seriously you guys should not burn the country because you lost an election..

Haters are only clutching on straws.They know and will be disgraced at the end.They will bark and wail for the next 8 years

Tribal bigot

INEC shouldn't have declared Tinubu the winner in the first place. I don't know why the man was rushing.

lol so is OBI that came third and lose with a wide margin that they should have declared?

The DSS supports the President and Commander-in-Chief in his avowed commitment to a hitch-free handover and will assiduously work in this direction. It also supports the Presidential Transition Council and such other related bodies in the States. It will collaborate with them and sister security and law enforcement agencies to ensure seamless inaugurations come 29th May, 2023.

Consequently, the Service strongly warns those organising to thwart democracy in the country to retract from their devious schemes and orchestrations. Stakeholders, notably judicial authorities, media and the Civil Society, are enjoined to be watchful and cautious to avoid being used as instruments to subvert peace and stability of the nation.

While its monitoring continues, the DSS will not hesitate to take decisive and necessary legal steps against these misguided elements to frustrate their obnoxious intentions.

Yu tribal animals won't rest, wetin concern Biafra,IPOB to this topic now..Very useless and stupid set of people

The blindness of IPOBIANS and BIAFRANS is second to none.
Why calling for interim government after taken your case to court for adjudication?
In your submission, Your Ob-idiot Pandora man never asked the tribunal to impose an interim government, Now you want to impose your wishful thinking to through the back door.
You strange strategy lack wisdom and common sense.
The move your Obi-diot is making will suffocate and strangulate the IGBOs

Emotionally unstable set up of people. your principal is already in court brainstorming with his lawyers and acolytes on how to upturned the legitimate process in his favor's. But the buffalo in you will not let or allow the majority to have peace with your daily verbosity that is putrid and toxemia in nature to our renewed hope for the future and a better Nigeria in 2023 and beyond. you remained fixated on your principal electoral loss and you forgot that a loser today that works harder can plug the loop holes in our electoral process and be a hero tomorrow. if i lied, a case in point is Mallam Abba of the NNPP who narrowly missed out in 2019 governorship election in Kano state but today no man born of a woman can stop his electoral fortune in Kano state. the man takes his defeat back home in his strides ,unshakable, and re-strategized and re-ploted his political graph in 2023 to the extent that outside of our spectrum, including Jupiter , as long as his name is on the ballot in Kano state, victory is his. final advice, cut this bullcrap and allow saner minds to enjoy the tsunami battle of our learned SAN as they engaged each other in the temple of justice at the supreme court in an atmosphere of serenity.

Go to court if you are pained by the post.

“In English, you must put a comma before “and” when it connects two independent clauses”

The constitution doesn’t do this

The constitution says

36 states and the FCT

NOT

36 states, and the FCT


Jagaban was rightly declared winner

móron, in each of at least of 24 states and the fct. Meaning 25% in 24 states and 25% in fct

mumu, 24 states and fct are separate items

Newton2024:
The literal interpretation of this section is that a candidate must secure 1/4th (25%) of votes cast in 2/3rd of the entire 36 States of Nigeria and 1/4th (25%) of votes cast in FCT. This provision is so clear, direct and unambiguous, that you don’t need a Professor of Constitutional Law to comprehend. The use of the word “and” had been held by the Supreme Court to be conjunctive, which implies that the conditions in Section 134(2)(b) are conjunctive and mandatory.

Then why was it not among the issues argued by Obi in challenging the outcome of the election?

Also, why not wait for the tribunal to do it work?

Nonsense of the highest order.
The issue of fct has been settled more than 3 times by Supreme Court of Nigeria.
Those who are pointing to this issue are just looking for trouble where there is none.
Tinubu will be inaugurated on 29th May 2023 as president and commander in chief of armed forces of the federal Republic of Nigeria
God help us

Allow the court to decide on that. You are not a judge. When Dhatti Ahmed rigged senate election in Bornu, he was sworn in as senator for one year before he was removed by court for cheating in election. He cannot say Tinubu must not be sworn in because that’s the law. Let him go to court to prove he won the election.

Your "response", his or mine doesn't matter when it comes to matters that touches on the LAW!

Right now there are FOR and AGAINST on this matter even among SANs.

We can argue back and forth and no matter how emotional you are about this issue, this will be put to rest once and for all by the law courts and all these threads you folks churn up to give credence to your OPINION has no basis in court! So make una rest!

Globad:
Nonsense

So what will happen if a candidate scores 25% in 36 states except in FCT? He won't be sworn in?

Rubbish

You guys should stop this FCT nonsense

That's not mathematically possible.

If a candidate wins all the states, he's likely to win Abuja with a landslide, because Abuja is a miniaturized Nigeria, so it will reflect.

Just to be clear, are you calling the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria nonsense?? It is the right of any aggrieved party to table a matter before the courts no matter how flimsy. What the courts decide to do is entirely up to them there! Wait for the courts to rule before addressing anyone’s opinions as nonsense!
