Section 299 - “The provision of this constitution shall apply to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja as if it were one of the States of the Federation…”

How you guys convinced yourselves that this section applies only to the administration of the FCT is both amusing and disingenuous. The section applies to everything about the constitution that relates to FCT. FCT is like just any other state and will always be traded as such. It is only empty emotions devoid of logic and common sense that would make people argue that FCT residents have a special status and can therefore veto the vote of the rest of the federating states.
Mr. Man, I am not a politician and don't vote because of the virtue of my work, which doesn't allow me to vote but some time I make contributions on some salient issue. It would have been best if the judges had interpreted section 134 on point of law than emotionally says, FCT doesn't have special status. Just as I have asked you, is that the interpretation of a whole clause? I just read now, where the judge stated that statute have there way of interpretation and constitution have there own way too and I asked myself, does constitution interpretation gives room to just verbally say words to justify interpretation? I expected a more sound interpretation by the judges with sound reference and precedence but it was not so.
Besides, as you're aware that our 1999 constitution are filled with lacuna. To me that section was erroneously put there but we should not because of that and interpret it to suit our emotions. Just as I had said in past, it makes no sense that one state should be graded than another state when it comes to voting power but law must be law until it is tinkered with. The drafter put it there for a reason but it was ill conceived, which I know they never anticipated a scenario like this will come up.

We hereby call on righteous democrats never to stoop low and allow Emilokans, Agbadorians, BaTists, & Ebolans to gloat over miscarriage of justice.

Don't ever keep mute; they are on the broad way that leads to destruction. Confront them, enlighten them, nay emancipate them; they are obviously bewitched! If anything, they should be ashamed and hid their faces forever

They just gave more reason now which align with the point of law I am talking about but just to say FCT has no special status makes no sense at all.

You sound pained, I thought you should be happy today but alas Sadness, frustration and bitterness all over you
Anyway am hanging out with my fellow batists catching fun and Celebrating.

As for lagos, that's the worst state in the entire South I will ever want to live in. But whichever way when I still come to Lagos your fellow stinking agberos cannot step into the places I step into. So what does that tell you, if you are useless u won't have any levels even in ur own so called "our state"

Now go and hang yourself while I keep Celebrating Tinubu's victory

I'm blinded by party affilliation because i said things the way it is? This is not about party, i'm saying it the way it is constitutionally . Judiciary is not a slave to the executive, corrupt judge is the slave and that is what we have today.

The executive arm have completely bought our justice system so no matter how u see it the two other arms of government are slaves to the executive arm. I'm not in anywhere saying lp or pdp won the election but that is the truth abt our judiciary.

You read the letter of the law and not the spirit. It will be highly stupid to make FCT special status and one has to score above 25% there. It’s not done anywhere.

I have been telling obident that will be DOA.

Also all their other evidence just be like beer parlor gist and not admissible.

Seems you ppl don’t understand law. All those SANs are chopping Obis money.

Obi is only mentioning it because it’s an advantage for him.

If it was not he won’t mention it.


I am also not for either because I think both are typical politicans looking for power

The criminal has perfected plans to make it look like he has no hands in the rubbish Fashola wrote as the final judgement for today to Favour Thiéfnubu and his foolish sophisticated morons. But let me tell you something, all those who have one way or the other done or supports injustice agaiia people or person usually end badly. Those of you supporting the nonsense going on because you have the power to force anybody to do your biddings, just know that power is transient. It will be done unto you too and yours will be worse.
Is it the cartoon version of the judges shown on live tv or the stuttering speech of the lead justice as if he wasn't the one who wrote the judgement.
Just like this judgement going on, you all will face your own judgement without mercy.


This judgment weak me........ I just taya!

Please. Can FCT registered voters and or indigenes of Abuja now demand to have a Governor, 3 senators and 9 HOR members now that they've been recognised as Nigeria's 37th State?. I will love to see that legal drama.

The effects of what we have seen today cannot by conceived by close-minded people like you. Without an appeal, INEC will find it difficult to conduct credible elections ever again. Governors will simply write results, and IREV can go to waste.

PS. Will INEC be able to release guidelines again when they're not as written in balck and white in the constitution? Who would believe them? What would be the basis when they can change it in the middle of the game? I just dey laff.

Peter obi and his olodo jeku jeku lawyers, especially that nollywood arusiyi actor turned half baked lawyer overnight, he kept emphasizing the 25% in FCT. Once you have the 2/3 of any election you are qualified to be declared a winner.
Peter obi need to go back to his tomato trading business and leave politics for people wey sabi. The anabra state he claimed he turned to El dorado, he can even sleep there for a month , nah ikoyi lagos state him dey sleep.
