By now the court should have thrown out Obi's case. It has no leg to stand... It is a waste of judicial time....

FCT and so what?

All votes cast are equal, no vote is more important than the other
These are just your emotions and not technicalities on ground as per the Constitution

FCT IS SPECIAL...because it is no state.

The law states that for the purpose of the election, the FCT is to be considered a state)not the special area it really is)....not that any candidate must win at least 25% of the vote in FCT to win election, otherwise we could end up with a hypothetical solution where someone wins in all the 36 states, yet loses the election because he lost FCT.

Come now, FCT voters are not superior to any voter. Otherwise, we might as well hold elections only in the FCT and then tell the rest of Nigeria to go and sit down...

Beware of unintended circumstances.

Well, law does not go by common sense, law goes by technicalities. That's why you see someone everyone knows 100% committed a crime go free on technicalities. "AND 25% in FCT" means just that. They could have put it another way, but they didn't. The way it is written right now, you MUST get that FCT 25%!

You are the one being rule by emotion, if 25% in FCT is a requirement, Tinubu won't be declared, are you saying inec chairman is not aware of the law?

Well, you will say INEC chairman has been bought 😁, you guys should enjoy your delusion, may 29 inauguration will wake you.

Obi is challenging results in 21 states where he lost.

I don't know what Atiku would say bcoz Obi is indirectly challenging where he Atiku won too.

Obi is challenging Tinubu results in Katsina state for instance but his lawyers were stupid enough not to have joined Atiku PDP that won in the state.

The same goes for Kano, Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Adamawa, and others.

The same way Obi said he should be declared winner in an election he claims did not comply with electoral law but you want INEC to declare you winner.

Does that sound sensible and brilliant? Are judges stupid like him?


Don't mind the Obi 419 and he's 4110 supporters. They're senseless and arrogant i don't know how 3rd position will be fighting for 1st Ogun kee him and he's dogs follower.

Abuja is the capital of Nigeria. It is the national center of administration, it is the seat of power and that is what explicitly makes different and not in equilibrum with the states. Getting the 25% votes as stipulated by the constitution shows that the seat of power fully acknowledges the fellow as the better candidate in the area of administration.

Those who came up with the constitution were very smart about it because it was based solely on logic and reason. Unfortunately, the uninformed APC apologists led by one uninformed Wole Olanipekun SAN is publicly displaying his arrogance of ignorance.
How dare you place a capital city + the seat of power on the same pedestral with states?
Bunch of pathological illiterates everywhere. Fools!.

First of all FCT is not a state grin therefore the "and" clause cannot be overlooked. its also dubious of the APC to accept the and clause in subsection a because it relates to subsection b- which their candidate(tinubu) fulfilled but reject the[b] "and" [/b]clause in the same subsection ɓ because it their candidate did not fulfill that part. looking at the constitution below, its clear that INEC should have conducted a rerun election. Tinubu is an illegal president and such illegality should not be allowed to stand in Nigeria. Nigeria ought to be the beacon for all African people, let's not reduce it to dust because of greedy politicians.

In other words, we might as well just hold presidential elections in FCT then.

Sorry tinubu won, but it is what it is. God knows I wish it was otherwise. The next election is coming. We don't have time for castles in the sky.

Civil forfeiture.

The person that paid the money into his account was being investigated for drug related offenses. So Tinubu forfeited the money in other to avoid further issues with US government.

Misinterpreting what? Misinterpreting what is written in black and white.
Something that even a baby can interpret. Something written to make whoever shall become president and administrator of Abuja federal capital territory to have legitimacy to administrator the territory.

The answer lies on your assertion..state isn't same as federal capital hence why Abuja has a minister and not a governor
How old are you😆

You got my assertion wrong, Abuja votes are not special, all votes are equal.

There is no such thing as11 credits in Jamb...it is WAEC.

Second, maths and english are accepted as pre-requsites because if you want to do a university course, you need an understanding in both Maths and English. A fail in that means you don't understand the 'languages' that are to be used in university.

Finally, elections and academic requirements are two completely different things.

The 'and' in the electoral law was brought in because Abuja technically speaking is not a state, and in order to prevent FCT residents from being disenfranchised, since they live in a region that for other purposes is not counted as a 'state'...the law states basically that 'for the purposes of the election, Abuja is to be treated like any other state.

I understand and respect your opinion. But I need you to think about why all of the aforementioned are called and referred to as "States" bar the FCT.

I'm not claiming to be right just trying to exercise my brain jare...

I'm good with however the court interprets it.
I respect your opinion too ..Lets wait for the interpretation...The interpretation may go either way.

No doubt, all votes are equal but for the purpose of emerging as president of Nigeria, the candidate must fullfil all the requirements which includes but not limited to getting at least 25% of the total votes cast in the FCT Abuja
No that is not what the law means, the law mentioned Abuja, because it's normally refered to as federal capital.

Be deceiving yourself.
The law governs the territory.
Not the people.


As FCT indigenes, we must lead protest against this man......
