The first sentence :
When you say ``Jesus is my lord and Savior ``
In this case my Lord is also my savior.

SO fct is also a state!

The second sentence is not correct! Go and ask any English major.. THE FCT means fct is a different entity, that means the 36 states took one place while Fct also took one place

If you claim fct is not treated as a state then we should have something like "have 25% in both fct and 24 states" since they are different entity.

[color=#1986BC] What about Jesus is my Lord And The Saviour? [/color]

IVORY2009:
Very very sure no doubt about it

[color=#1986BC] Other folks are saying that winning 25% of the FCT is irrelevant, but if so, why the "AND FCT" phrase? The Constitution should have left it out since FCT is part of the Federation, it could have just stopped at "2/3 of the Federation" which we all know includes FCT.[/color]

[color=#1986BC] You cannot rule Nigeria without capturing it's beating Heart....At least 25%....So a Re-run or Run-off is very certain. The phrase "AND FCT" wasn't put in the constitution for nothing.[/color]

[color=#1986BC] Even though thiefffnubu has his lackeys and stooges in the judiciary,the gross frequency of irregularities won't allow them help him...[/color]

[color=#1986BC] When they were rigging,they forgot to take the Nigerian Constitution with them....[/color]

[color=#1986BC] INEC will destroy Nigeria...[/color]

[color=#1986BC] Since 1999 there has not been a precedent to lay reference on thus Falana has no justification to interprete anything except his own opinion, we leave this to the Supreme Court for interpretation....[/color]

You beat me to it! Thanks for lecturing the guy!

If they didn’t take TRANSMISSION to mean sending it electronically, they could also have used TRANSPORT, SEND (like you just said) or CARRY FOR HEAD!

We should ask him what comes to mind when he hears the word TRANSMITTER! He probably thinks it’s something medieval that has to do with using pen and paper, and a courier boy to ‘transmit’ messages!

[color=#1986BC] Can't blame him though especially if he come from a non scientific or engineering background....Some of these words can be very tricky, if you aren't careful.[/color]

an act process or instance of transmitting

[color=#1986BC]
: an act, process, or instance of transmitting
transmission of a nerve impulse across a synapse
2
: the passage of radio waves in the space between transmitting and receiving stations
also : the act or process of transmitting by radio or television
3
: an assembly of parts including the speed-changing gears and the driveshaft by which the power is transmitted from an engine to a live axle
also : the speed-changing gears in such an assembly....[/color]

Iamgrey5:
The word transmission has nothing to do with electronics sir.

Bring any dictionary

[color=#1986BC] No worries...https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/transmission......[/color]

Iamgrey5:
In law we have what they call loopholes.

There's nothing stating that a machine should be used for transmission automatically or should be done manually.

The wording of that law is bogus.

[color=#1986BC] There's nothing bogus bro as the word "transmission" denotes a term for electronics else a simple wording like "send" would suffice if electronics wasn't involved. Then again, the smoking gun in the whole debacle was not getting the results directly from PUs on real-time instead manual collation.[/color]

wegevv:
Doesn’t matter. It’s what the constitution says in simple English.

But if you’re looking for an explanation it’s simple; Unlike other states FCT doesn’t have an elected governor or gubernatorial elections. The President appoints a minister that basically governs the state.

It makes sense that that president has to be moderately popular in the capital.

I know it’s not what you want to hear but the written sentence is clear and there’s a reasonable reason for it too. Hope this helps ❤️

[color=#1986BC] Yeah, I see it now...So if I win say 30 states with 25%,then it must include the FCT.So you would say ' I have won 29 states AND Fct" or in another scenario" I won 27 States And Fct" In all of these cases, FCT must be among according to the constitution..[/color]

0monnak0da:
Guy you are not going to teach me English
Abuja is not listed as a state. But for the purpose of presidential election it's status is ELEVATED To that of a state which ordinarily it is not
You are entitled to your interpretation
That Buhari rigged election is irrelevant nonsense
This conversation is going nowhere

So can we close?

[color=#1986BC] As Abuja is not a state nor part of the federation but a figment of imagination in which in your opinion needs "elevation" to exists in the constitution then we just have to close this vertical capping....[/color]

0monnak0da:
Yes what does AND mean?

That is not something I am going to argue with you
You can say what you think
At best it can be taken to court for interpretation and Nigeria being what it is that all happen eventually.
My opinion is that Abuja is not listed as a state elsewhere in the constitution where states are listed but this use of AND elevates Abuja to the status of a State for the purpose of election making it a 37th state

[color=#1986BC] "AND" doesn't elevates Abuja but it separates it's destiny apart from the rest of the federation.Thus if you have 25% elsewhere but Abuja then the candidate still has case to answer. Check out since 1999 how most winning candidates blitz Abuja, hell even Buhari who is unpopular in Abuja just had to rig his to 40% in 2019....Why? So as to erase any doubt as to the legitimacy of his mandate, if it wasn't that important he could have left the results in Abuja since he had massive votes and percentage elsewhere....If the constitution wanted to elevate Abuja then it should simply have said "2/3 of the Federation" Full stop. Since Abuja is by default a part of the Federation [/color]

[color=#1986BC] This guy and falz have written their names in gold....I'm sure if they ever come out for elective offices, history will be very kind to them.. The internet never forgets.[/color]

[color=#1986BC] FCT is part of the federation thus if it was just a simple 2/3 of the federation alone then it means including FCT amongst other states therefore you can get your 25% anywhere else if you can't get in FCT......BUT the constitution said "And FCT" thus meaning you must capture the Heart and Center of Nigeria with at least 25% irrespective of what is going on elsewhere....or Runoff..[/color]

[color=#1986BC] The Obi effect....And it's gets worse for thiefffnubu especially as the effect is very prevalent in cosmopolitan areas....FCT is a cosmopolitan region and you must have 25% to scale through...if not, a run off with Atiku..I wonder what happens if Obidients queue behind Atiku?.[/color]

[color=#1986BC] Stop the confusion....It said 2/3 of the federation AND FCT....not 24 states and Abuja...thus it means after you get your spread in the federation then you try and get a spread in the FCT. If it was the 25 states rule then it would have just said "2/3 of the federation." Since Abuja is already a part of the federation it won't matter whether you get 25% or not in Abuja as long as you have spread else where.[/color]

[color=#1986BC] He has to have 25% in Abuja, as well as in 24 states....If he has 100% in 30 states but less than 25% in Abuja then we go again... There's a reason the following quote was made " AND Abuja" not "Including Abuja". Because Abuja is the Center, the very beating Heart of Nigeria, so if you lose here, you lose everywhere regardless of anything happening in Oshogbo, Damaturu or Jalingo.So invariably there are three benchmarks: Win the popular vote, win the spread AND let your spread capture the FCT....If it fails any of the requirement..well.. [/color]

Tolue43:
Do you have Kano results??
Tinubu is following Kwankwaso bumper to bumper.. Check BBC pidgin to get more update results.. Tinubu is winning

[color=#1986BC] Yeah but that BLoC vote is gone....Like you said he's neck and neck with RMk in Kano (no landslide)....With Atiku in Katsina (no landslide)... Kaduna is not sure for him but in anycase, if it falls, it will be no landslide...And don't let us get started with Lagos because that's no landslide going on there. All these states were projected as APC states to deliver landslides...So it's all gonna go down to the wire but Atiku will edge with better spread and Obi will take highest votes. So run of will be Atiku and Obi.[/color]

Tolue43:
South south results is out already...so Obi shouldn't bank on south south vote ooo.. Tinubu and Atiku really shared those places

[color=#1986BC] If that's so then Atiku will be declared Winner because he will have better spread than Thieffnubu if not then Obi and Atiku will go into run off because Obi might not get spread but he's definitely getting the highest vote.[/color]

Wickedfacts:
Lol
Neutralise Alimosho. Be like this one just enter Lagos.
Bro, to neutralise Alimosho, you need Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi and Imo votes.

[color=#1986BC] I'm sorry bro..The joke is already on you with the margins from the most illiterate and rural parts of Lagos being obliterated by inner city LGAs ...any margin from Alimosho would just be a mosquito fart that even the margin of an LGA in Ebonyi State would trample underfoot.. never mind OJO..[/color]

IDeyNL:
Lagos is the strongest hold of Tinubu. To think that he's head-on with Obi here is just crazy!

[color=#1986BC] It's mind boggling, it's stunning....it's...it's.. And here we thought he had Southwest as a whole in the bag with nothing for any rivals. Who would have thought old man would get raped and lose Osun before struggling to hold on to Lagos.. Now looking at the results so far...He doesn't have Kaduna, He hell has lost Kano then Atiku is neck and neck with him in Katsina. BLoC votes of millions in the North wiped out.[/color]

MAYOWAAK:
So far in Lagos, APC won 7LGs while Labour won 5.
APC = 306,504
LP = 294,363
APC is leading by 12,141 votes

[color=#1986BC] Results from Isolo and Surulere should take care of that with a wide margin....Then we wait to neutralize Alimosho with OJO...but if Alimosho proves cooperative and it's margin is also covered by the aforementioned LGs...then we put OJO back on the bench.[/color]

[color=#1986BC] You didn't get Katsina, you didn't get Kano,you didn't get Kaduna...Hell, you are struggling to hold on to Lagos.... Thiefffnubu should be afraid, he should be very very afraid.[/color]

IgOga:
Another 40k difference in Lagos for Obi

Obi leading APC by over 100k votes now

[color=#1986BC] I don't see how thiefffnubu can overcome this gap because all other LGs that are his strongholds,he won with just a small margin of an average of 14k votes....That means Thieffnubu will be looking for 2LGs to deliver at least a gap of 60k each to overtake Obi...Now the million dollar question is which LGs can do the magic? Pls note that the margin could get worse for APC as Labour still has Isolo, Surulere and maybe Alimosho on the bench [/color]

Sparkies85:
Have you bothered to tally the votes to see tinubu is doing poorly ? Now, the results of eti osa has just been announced and APC scored 13k votes and Lp scored 55k
