Section 134(2)(b) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) is clear and unambiguous, direct and simple.

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.

What the constitution are saying here is that before you will be declared a winner of presidential Election in Nigeria, you must score 2/3rd of 36 states including Abuja. In another word if you have 25% in 24 states of Nigeria it must include Abuja. So Abuja is compulsory.

Another example is 9 subject you wrote in Waec. The law said you must get 6 credit including English and maths if you have to pass. It means that even if you scored credits in 7 subject without English and maths you did not meet the requirements but if you get six subjects , English and maths must be included.

So for those who said Abuja is regarded as a state, is practically don’t change anything because it means that you must get 25% in Abuja with 25% in other 23 states for you to be declared winner.

Stolen mandate must be recovered, but first the criminal inec chairman should be sacked and a non northern should be elected

That's your president for the next 4 years. The only thing you can do is to burn your region to the ground which we care less

surely he'll rot in jail for 4years, cos that's where he's qualified to be president.

Fairly misinterpretation as usual...what you all fail to ask yourselves is: why do we have to conduct elections outside Abuja if winning 36 states and losing Abuja makes you a loser? Are the people living in Abuja any better than the residents of the other states? Aren't you just tired of working overtime over this issue?

that is not what the constitution is saying.. the constitution consider abuja equal as a state and make it the 37 state, you dont have to win abuja before you win. it mean 2/3 of 37 states

So basically, if you were a candidate of the National Nigerian party and won 2/3rd of the votes in 31 states, and you ran against Terver of the Democratic Alliance of Nigeria and the Cameroons, and he got 2/3rd of the vote in 3 states and Yunusa of the Better Nigeria Alliance won only 25% of the vote in FCT, and ten % of the votes in two states, and no votes elsewhere, while both you and terver did not get up to 25% of the vote in FCT, how una go do?

Will you accept you lost the election simply because you did not get 25% of the vote in FCT?

See the problem your interpretation leads you into?

Professor Nonsense, what has that benefit Nigeria.
Someone is trying to enlighten you on simple English meaning and you're talking in the nonsense.
What does AND means?

The Section 299 of the Constitution which reads ‘the provision of this constitution shall apply to the Federal Capital Territory Abuja [/b]as if it were one of the States of the Federation’.[b]

It said as if it were a state, not a state.
This guy dressed up as if he was a lady, doesn't mean the guy is a lady.
