25% spread in the required number of states and the FCT is not rocket science naah.

In simple English,

it simply means if a candidate gets 25% spread in the required number of states,
and the FCT IS ONE of the states,
you cannot now come and say to the candidate, "FCT is not a state, so a win in the FCT does not count for you".

The law is saying it will count. FCT is a state.
Dazzall.

That clause was just simply trying to validate FCT as a state.
Not that it is a "by fire by force" must win state.

It was just a validation something nii!

So, if you get 25% spread in the required number of states and FCT is not among, nothing spoil. You still win.

And as many people don talk tire for this forum, another section of our constitution validate this explanation wey I just knack give you so.

Na one guy first explain this thing concerning "and" usage here. But I don forget him moniker.
GOD come throw full light on the matter.

JJuanMiguel:


If i say you must pick 3 colors out of
red, green, yellow and white.

What does it mean?

Does this instruction mean you must pick white?
Engrisshh.

The two "and" are playing same role.

It is like listing all the states,
"Abia, Adamawa, Anambra Akwa Ibom, ...and then ending it with ...and FTC. It is a list of states.
But instead of always listing all the states every time, you would rather summarize and say, "the 36 states and FCT"

It is not a conditional statement.
That statement na summary of the list of states.

You need to know that in English, contextual rules exist too.

biotechshola:
Infact, the mention of "AND FCT" was deliberate to give Abuja the status of a state during elections. Normally, Abuja is not up to the standard of a state as it doesn't have what it requires to be a state, but just incase a candidate has 25% in 23states and Abuja and there's argument that Abuja will not count coz it's not a state.. Unfortunately, what was made to raise Abuja to the level of other state has been misinterpreted to mean Abuja is above the other states and has the be treated specially.

In summary!

Is somebody understanding me this evening ??

Don't waste your time on the okoro clan.

According to their logic, someone can get 80% in Abuja, lose in 36 states and go to court

I don't support that obedient sh*t but I just think you aren't getting it right with your quotes... A better question relating to this thread should be: "to pass the test you need to get atleast 85% in 5 subjects and English"
Now explain it

This is so unprecedented..

Asin wtf that clause in the constitution actually means is not even my issue, but that a president elect can be so unpopular in the fct that he did not only fail to win there, but couldn't even get up to 25% of votes.. it's sickening and near nauseating.

Don't even tell me Buhari didn't win there also, like we all don't know those elections were rigged, too.

Really it's a breath of fresh air that Nigerians have actually begun to question these mysterious happenings and demand answers and I only pray the courts to be incorruptible in her judgments this time around.

it is not about the equality of voters across. Are you saying that the rest of the states after 24 states that their votes don't count or that they are inferior?

Useless argument.

Very clearly the framers of the Constitution saw to it that the FCT being a mIcrocosm of Nigeria should contribute at least 25% to the winning candidate. Denying this is like denying your own life.

Let's stop playing abeg.
