The supreme court simply said that 25% is needed in two third of abia,Adamawa,akwa ibom,anambra,bauchi,bayelsa,benue,borno,cross river,delta,edo,ekiti,ebonyi,Enugu,rivers,ogun,osun,Oyo,ondo,Lagos,imo,kwara,Niger,nasarawa,kogi,plateau, sokoto,kebbi,katsina,kano,kaduna,jigawa,gombe,taraba,yobe,zamfara and fct.the AND is because the fct is the last.it is jointly used.

Looking at the constitution section 134,it is divided into A and B
A) a candidate must score the highest votes
B) he must get two third in 36 states and fct.

A simple understanding of the constitution or the interpretation act will reveal that two conditions are needed that is A and B.if fct was to be mandatory,subsection c would have been added or under subsection B,they would have added an additional clause or condition with a comma.in atiku's petition,he funnily added fct as the C part.I believe this should settle that matter...

Even if the Abuja is affirmed, the other candidates did not win majority of the votes and did not get 25% in two-thirds of the states.

You Think, people are daft abi?

It's good Peter Obi and his legal team, are coordinated in keeping their 'Bullets' close to heart. You and your cohorts have been sent by Olanikpekun and cohorts to sniff the internet, so as to get a glimpse of what the Legal Team has in store for the druggie mandate thief, you adore

Ogbeni, MEN DEY COURT...go to the COURT and see how Olanikpekun will be disgraced, just as he was disgraced in Osun recently...spits

Tunubu has a very bad case which the recent Supreme court judgement has made worst ( those that have legal eyes will understand)
His only saving grace is technicalities unfortunately, the case is too water tight to be dismissed by technicalities

University of Lagos says if you must study medicine in the institution, you must have 5 credits including English and Mathematics.

Now, you went ahead and had A1 in 8 subjects and had F9 in Mathematics, are you going to get admitted to study medicine?

Will you ask Unilag what makes Mathematics more special than other subjects?🧐

You didn’t answer my question. You rather descended into claiming that you know how the courts will rule.

That was how you knew how the court will rule in Osun case before Adeleke’s victory was upheld.

Tinubu ran into a cul de sac when he forgot to rig Abuja as well.

Based on Obi, his lawyers and supporters, any politician can simply hold Nigeria into ransom repeatedly by winning 76% and above in the FCT. Even though another contestant won the remaining 36 states but he won't be declared as the winner because each voter in Abuja have gotten thousands of heads, legs and hands. They are superior to the rest of country's citizens and their States.
Why's it so hard to win all states and loose FCT or not coming up with 25%. If you can win FCT then you have won the election. Anyone that fails to win FCT or come up with 25% and wins other state is a rigger. Simple as that.

See,it is a waste of time arguing with you.you will never accept anything so why stress myself? I predicted the loss of adeleke at the tribunal and subsequently his victories at the appeal.I am a genius boy.the most difficult part was winning the elections.you will still keep hating tinubu and APC till eternity after his tribunal vicyory so no need.learn from aiel and fergi

To be candid. Obi is a born loser and a failure who doesn't understand the game of politics.

President Jonathan is enjoying his peace simply because he accepted the out come of the 2015 election in good faith and has since been embraced locally and internationally.

Obi would have really positioned himself for glory if only he had managed the out come of this results well by congratulating the winner Tinubu and aftetwards, do all it takes to build a proper structure for the Labour Party. A structure that will eventually pivot him to becoming a Igbo president by the will of Nigerians, North, East, South, West in his life time.

It took Tinubu nothing less than 32 years working towards his life ambition, being calculative, focus and disciplined.

We all know that the petitions against Tinubu are all built on TRIVIALITIES and not substance. Very worthless.

Right from the word go. It's inevitable that Tinubu will be the winner. Obi did not win, he stood no chance of winning. Neither did Atiku win, he also stood no chance of winning because the dynamics during the last election was totally at odds with them.

Tinubu will be sworn in. Have no doubt that it's the beginning of positioning Nigeria for greatness.

Same question I have been asking them
Why was it a big deal to get 25% in FCT?
For someone like Tinubu and APC?

English and Mathematics have special status in our education system. They are superior to any other subjects, we call some subjects core cause. Is people in Abuja superior to your people in Abuja?

And: in legal terms means in conjunction with or in addition to. It implies togetherness.

Or: in legal terms means an alternative to the former. It implies taking your pick.

The End.





The conjunctive does not imply that those voter in FCT have two heads and must be given special treatment. It only means they are to be treated in same way.

Main words are EACH, AND, THE....they changed the meaning to make it separate
. Two third of Taiwo Kehinde ,John Yemi Ade Micheal Femi Grace AND Daniel must come tomorrow.
This implies that two third of 9 people mist come. Daniel is not special and no emphasis is placed on him
Any Six of the Nine persons will make 2 /3 majority.
That is what the B section of the constitution refers to. FCT is added to the 36 states making 37states. Please note that AND can show addition separately or in togetherness. The latter is our focus here..
1. Taiwo and Kehinde are here. 2 persons in separation
2.Two third of Taiwo Kehinde ,John Yemi Ade Micheal Femi Grace AND Daniel must come tomorrow....9 persons in togetherness are our focus
3. The Ooni of Ife and President of Osun Council of Obas is here.1 person is our focus here.even when AND is used to connect the two titles.

I disagree sir! The is used with the FCT because is the Capital of Nigeria.In grammar it does not affect the overall interpretation of number involved.
As for " Each of ....." it is the same meaning with structural difference.
1 You need 2/3 of John Yemi .Dan Take Ade Kola Adam George and Sam.
2. Yiu need two third of them .

If you say You need two third in each of the 36 states and FCT ,that all the 37 entities shoukd give the person 2/3 .

The is a definite article and it shows uniqueness. When you say and the federal capital territory is different from and federal capital territory. The former lay emphasis one only one federal capital territory while the later could be one of the federal capital territory.

Each of means each state is treated on its own.

Abuja is unique because it is the seat of power and the president is like the governor of Abuja.If Abuja is like a state, it should have everything a state has.
