And you call yourself an engineer. This is how tinubu supporters are. They always shoot themselves in the foot when trying to lie.

Engineers are generally intelligent. You're not intelligent. You're just a low life expressing stupidity which you're not being paid for.

Rest in peace

you are the unintelligent here, the votes of Abuja is not superior to the votes of Abia and kwara

Stenewiser:
And why do think individuals living in Abuja are so special to decide for the whole nation base on their choice of candidate.

If They are not special, how come we all have a governor and they don't?

Curse777:



Abuja is a subnational, like other 36 states

Having Governors doesn't define a state

All State had Administrator under Military rule



.

What about State house of Assembly?

If They are not special, h[b]ow come we all have a governor and they don't?

Because the FCT is actually[b] inferior [/b]to a State..but was considered to be treated like a State as a recognitition of the equality of its residents with Nigerians living in other places within the territory of Nigeria.

Military Administrators were pre-1999 constitution.

Can you name any Military Administrator in any state since 1999?

Again, if having a governor doesn’t define a state, what does?

And can you give example of another ‘state’ (like you guys are referring to FCT) that doesn’t have a governor?

Col Ali was administrator of Plateau after OBJ declared state of emergency

Do u know why English is compulsory? Cos it's d language in which every other subject is written. So why exactly should FCT be compulsory? If it was why did d constitution not mandate every Nigerian to visit d FCT at least once a year or at least once in our lifetime or like Islam demands pilgrims to visit Mecca? Why do u guys argue what flies away in d face of common sense? Even d letters of d constitution is very clear, if they wanted they would had said "...score 25% in 2/3 of the states in the federation and score 25% in the FCT". Alternatively they would had said "....score 25% in 2/3 of the states in the federation and 'in' the FCT". But they didn't, they simply said "...25% in 2/3 of the states in the federation and FCT. In other words they lumped the FCT with the states of the federation. For your info, Nigeria is a federation and d federating units are d 36 states and d FCT so d spread is for the "entire federation" grouped as a set. Obidients are difficult people to convince, they have already rehearsed d insults they will insult d judges when their petition is thrown out. Obidients; the headless mob, born and trained to curse and insult!

Sharpsharp00123:
so that means u can lose 36 states n win only Abuja n b declared president?

Meaning a candidate can win all d states n lose only Abuja n will still not b declared president?

Then if that b d case y hold election in other states?
Then y not just hold election in Abuja n we have the winner as president?
Then what is d essence of other states votes?

No one says you should win FCT. You guys should stop being clever by half. Just get 1 out of four votes from Abuja. Is that too hard for a national presidential candidate?

SpatialKing:

Agreed
But the fct status as seat of power makes it special

it doesn't understand our constitution everybody have equal rights

Mathematics is what? That makes it Compulsory.

The law is the Law. Let the Court decide

But u were d one that said English was a golden subject. Mathematics is not a compulsory paper. You need not take and pass it in all exams.

Yes the law is the law and the courts will decid. We should be telling that to Obidients who are heating up d polity and blackmailing d judiciary. Am so emphatic that d case would be thrown out same way I was so emphatic Obi would come third in d elections. When d case is thrown out, Obidients would heap insults on d judges and manufacture evidence of how they were bribed and compromised. They would shift attention to the Supreme Court and write multiple letters to Biden and d UN to come and intervene. Obidients are a terrible bunch, they need a cure and it would come soon

You are wrong it is Math and English.
GOD HELP US and by his Grace. Peter Obi will Win the Case.

Yes APC Will Do anything. I am a Victim, was threatened in My Polling Unit not to Vote for LP and Guess What, it was Very Close to a Police Station.
So there is No Good about Tinubu, May God Forbid BaT for the Sake of the Good people of Nigeria

Many Nigerian universities would allow u study Mass Communications with credit in English and then 4 other social sciences causes, Mathematics not being compulsory. Same with courses like Theater Arts. In JAMB only compulsory subject is English

By the way are u saying u don't know Obidients prevented people from voting for both APC and PDP in d east and in Asaba? People were beaten for not voting LP. Would look for some of the links and share here

Penguin2:
I told some guys here about a week ago that the section 299 that Tinubu lawyers and supporters are hinging on to argue that the FCT is just another state in Nigeria, only referred to the administration of the territory and did not preclude the place of the FCT as one of the provisions that must be satisfied before a presidential candidate is declared.

They argued with me then, but I’m happy to see my argument incorporated by Obi lawyers in their written address in response to Tinubu and Shettima at the tribunal.

Questions for determination:

1) If the FCT is a state (in the sense canvassed for by Tinubu lawyers and supporters) why was there no governorship election in the territory on March 18, 2023 when the rest of Nigerian states had their gubernatorial elections except for those whose election have been staggered?

2) In the 1979 constitution, the condition that a presidential candidate must satisfy before being declared a winner was to “get highest number of votes cast and 25% in 2/3 of the states of the federation.” No mention was made of the FCT which was Lagos then. The question therefore is, if it was not intended that a presidential candidate must score 25% in the FCT, why was that provision attached in the 1999 constitution? Why didn’t the requirement just end with “… and score 25% of votes cast in 2/3 of the states of federation as it was in the 1979 constitution?

3) Since the FCT has no elected governor or mayor, the president appoints a minister to administer the territory on his behalf. Does it not make sense, therefore, that the framers of the constitution intended that the man who will appoint the administrator for this territory MUST have at least 25% approval of the indigenes and residents of the territory?

The truth is that like is popularly said, the law is a bitch. It cares not about your sentiments and biases, it will serve justice by letters and spirit of the law.

Tinubu did not satisfy the constitutional provision to be declared a winner which makes his declaration null and void.

The people living in Abuja are more equal than other Nigerians in fact they have golden heads, dick, and fingers unlike other normal people across across the world. In fact they come with two heads

The Framers intended the FCT to be a litmus test that must be passed.

You can ask your representative to advocate for an amendment to the Constitution to reflect your stated sentiments, but as of February 25, 2023, when the election is concluded, the law is that a candidate must have received at least 1/4 of the votes cast in 2/3 of the states of the federation and the FCT to be declared president.

Odibembem:


Col Ali was administrator of Plateau after OBJ declared state of emergency

Read it well.

The Ali that was appointed by Obasanjo was not a Colonel but a General. And guess what, the General was retired, not a serving Army General.

By the way, this was in state of emergency and not under normal circumstances.

We refuse to fall into your vacuum. Always consult the Constitution, and if you disagree, encourage your representative in the National Assembly to seek an amendment, or appeal to the courts.

General or Colonel, military or civilian, the point is that the nomenclature of who manages a federating unit is inconsequential. Nigeria is a federation, the federation has 37 federating units namely the 36 states (administered by govs) and d FCT (administered by d Minister appointed by d President). No federating unit has a veto power over d others to d extent of vetoeing whoever d others elect as President, it's abnormal and d constitution never said that. Watch how d tribunal would toss out Obi's petition from d window.

I am just trying to show you that the constitution didn't make fct mandatory if not they would have still specified so.

Section 134 numbered it well.it said

1) have the highest votes
2 spread in two third of the federation.
Now if fct was compulsory,they would have made it as a third directive.pdp in their petition knows that is why they created a number 3 provision
