They want Obi to be declared winner cos he won Lagos and Abuja (1 SW State and FCT) but lost all other geopolitical zones apart from SE while the man that won 4 SW states and got constitutional spread, still secured highest votes should be robbed of his victory because of FCT. Laughable.

sreamsense:
Prof. I beg don't loud it, let Obi lawyers get something from him to eat and take care of their families. Obi lawyers know now, but just want to get their own share of obidient contributions. All allegations Obi leveled on Tinubu are just too baseless, obidients will soon be abusing judges now when they throw away their allegations over the court window

Globad:


Hope some people won't faint the day the judgement is declared

All the election riggers have united in support of Baba blue, the father of election rigging.

This guy's interpretation is really funny.

Make APC dey play. Let them not go and start preparing for rerun, like their internal memos have suggested. Let them continue petting Baba blue.
When Tribunal sacks them, them go dey alright.

PoliteActivist:




What is ⅔ of 36 states and FTC? Give me a number

(Since you are insisting FTC is a state, that gives us 37 states. So your job is to give us ⅔ if 37!)

Fine, the constitution stated clearly that you must get at least 25% of votes in 24 states including the FCT, that's very clear. And equally you must have the highest number of votes. To be pronounced winner. By INEC's results we don't have a winner yet, even as BAT has the highest vote he hasn't fulfill the other criterion.

Section 299 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

The provisions of this Constitution shall apply to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja as if it were one of the States of the Federation; and accordingly -

(a) all the legislative powers, the executive powers and the judicial powers vested in the House of Assembly, the Governor of a State and in the courts of a State shall, respectively, vest in the National Assembly, the President of the Federation and in the courts which by virtue of the foregoing provisions are courts established for the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja;

(b) all the powers referred to in paragraph (a) of this section shall be exercised in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution; and

(c) the provisions of this Constitution pertaining to the matters aforesaid shall be read with such modifications and adaptations as may be reasonably necessary to bring them into conformity with the provisions of this section.

- NOTE: "this Constitution shall apply to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja as if it were one of the States of the Federation"

- So the Governor is - The president who administer it through his/her Minister for FCT

- Abuja lawmakers are the National Assembly members.

- Also Abuja is not big enough to have 3 Senators, reason it has only one.

Afamsi:
Illiterate prof kindly tell us why federal capital was mentioned in that rule since it is included in the 2/3 of the states of the federation. Why was your state not mentioned. Does this dullard know the purpose of ' AND ' in a sentence? I feel that he bought that professorial degree. This man ought to be a primary school teacher.

Some people go still argue the obvious fact.

PoliteActivist:


Which constitution says that??
⅔ of 36 states and FCT is what the constitution says.
There are ONLY two correct answers to the question and one of them is not a whole number.
Thus the ONLY correct answer is:

24 states and FCT!!!!!

Below are reasons why Abuja is like every other States of the federation.

1. Abuja has one senatorial slot - we
have 3 senators per state times 36 States that is 108 plus the only one from Abuja makes it 109. It's the 36 States and the FCT.

2. Abuja like every other States has a commissioner of police and NYSC Corp Members are being mobilised to Abuja like every other States.

3. Abuja also have local government areas like every other States.

Ogene001:
Who is the governor of FCT? Mention the senatorial zones in FCT

You trying to confuse people by posting volume.
The constitution simply says

"⅔ of the 36 states and FCT"

Which means either 24 states and FCT
OR ⅔ of 37!!

Instead of being dishonest, why not let's work and change this NOW??!
