This ignorance needs to stop.

First off, Abuja is not a state, it is one of the Area councils in the Federal Capital Territory, others being Abaji, Kuje, Kwali, Gwagwalada & Bwari.

Second, it does not have an elected governor, only elected Council Chairmen.

Third, it is illogical to think that winning an election in the FCT would solely determine elections from 36 other constituent states even when the FCT is given the full status of a state.

Supporters of Labour Party who keep hammering on this are not helping matters & end up setting themselves up for ridicule.

NB: the administrative centre of the FCT is Abuja Municipal Area (Council) or more commonly referred to as 'Abuja'

As an igboman... I swear i am ashamed of obidients.. Such stark illiterates and they flaunt their ignorance to my bewilderment..

FCT

FCT
Is different from Abuja

Abuja is the capital of Nigeria just because it’s in FCT doesn’t mean it’s a state oo

I think FCT should be called a state then Abuja incorporated from it
Just like Washington DC and Maryland state in the US

Abuja is actually the capital of FCT.. Go and verify in the constitution

Read what the Nigeria Constitution says about Abuja.

It agrees that Abuja is not a state but in the context of Presidential election, it would be treated as/like a state.

Work more on your language comprehension, especially on the two words below:
As
Like

Since 1991 we all know Abuja is the federal capital territory, if Abuja is also a state let the judiciary show us where Abuja was treated like other states under our constitution

We now have 37 states in Nigeria any teacher that fail my children for answering that I will sue the teacher to Court of appeal Abuja let that judge explain

Wike is no longer FCT minister rather a Governor of Abuja.

The best and easy thing to do now is joining the team of Biafra republic online than crying about what's happening inside Nigeria.

You can see that you're not consider to be Nigerian, so stop the wailing.
