Mr. Tiefnubu, no one says that FCT voters are special but if your Constitution requires that you MUST have 25% of the votes cast there, then you're NOT exempted. It absolutely has NOTHING to do with whether the voters are special or NOT. And this is the man who wants to be your presidiot with such a warped mindset...no respect for the rule of law.

Constitutionally Fct is not regarded as a state but as federal capital territory, but for election purpose The word 'AND' includes Fct as a state for form 37 state

The law should have said 25% in 24 states including the fct


I believe you wrote SSCE, the requirement states 5 credit including maths and english.

By default maths and english are subjects just like anyother one we can think of, "INCLUDING" in the draftsmam context was to re-emphasize maths and english are subjects tho but they are top re-quisite for anyone seeking admission to an higher institution in Nigeria.

In FCT case, abuja is not a state by standard or logic, so it was imperial to use a conjunction so "FCT" can count as if it were a state.

By default if FCT were a state and Nigeria had 37 states, if the law had went further to spell out FCT using "INCLUDING" only in that context we can say Abuja is superior to other say.

Now imagine the constitution had said "and Lagos " how do you interprete that

It's not about you druggie. It's the law and a requirement in the law.
You once said you plan for everything, how you didn't factor this part shows you that you also perfect as you claim.

The votes not special but that doesn't change the status of the FEDERAL CAPITAL TERRITORY. Until the law specifically regards it as a state like any other where it would have all the statutory Chara tristics of a state such as a governor, HOA, and its state apparatus es, Oga, you will need that 25%of that territory

FCT is never regarded as a state and we all know that. So in this case of elections, FCT has to be acknowledged hence the “AND” , adding it to the 37 states. So constitutionally, it is not a must to get 25% in FCT provided you get 25% in the 36 states, including FCT.

Stop this nonsense. The constitution says that Abuja should be treated as any other state when it involves constitutional matters. The "and" is inclusive not "additional" This is settled law and some of us have been.in practice for 40 odd years. There are already several cases on this point.

Unlike the US Nigeria does not run an electoral college. Are you saying if someone won one state and Abuja he would win the election if his opponent won 34 states without Abuja? Come on.

I have always wondered why Obi filed such a weak petition. I can only surmise that he wants to play the "we were robbed" card in order to catalyse and hold his base together over the next four years.

Even he has gone quiet.

So now we should discard everything that has "AND" in the constitution if we discard this one. For instance if they say Federal Government and State we should as well assumed state is not mentioned and if they say States and Federal Government, we should as well assume Federal Government is not mentioned.

More so, if Abuja is taking as a state, we can as well assume Abuja to be a state in all context and they should be accorded every right and privilege accorded to a state like having a governor and 3 senators and house of reps members. You cannot isolate Abuja only on presidential voting. If Abuja is a state, we should also have state election in Abuja. Why will you say Abuja is different only on the issue of presidential election? Does it make any sense?

We just love to ridicule ourselves. People have suddenly turned blind and dumb to simple english.

Constitutionallly Nigeria has no president elect, but since english language is not our first language and translating the constitutional requirement for the FCT abuja has become a challenge, Let those in charge set up a committee that will consult the UK judiciary to explain what the word "AND" means.

The problem is Nigerians think everything is a joke or meme....
