Reference:
This is not a question.
It's Didier Drogba by a country mile. He symbolised all what the Premiership was about at Chelsea, the pomp, the drama and the personas and then he won it all...and left on a high.

In recent times it has to be the Egyptian Prince, Moh Salah. Record breaker in almost every significance. But his present trajectory is a bit worrying. Seems to have lost his glass cleats in this Mersyside Cinderella caper.
Every player will experience that period esp when they are in their 30s!
Mo salah is no exception!
The fact that he is still scoring goals despite in a demanding league despite his age should be commended!
I would have instantly given it to Salah but Drogba was phenomenal at chelsea just as Mo Salah is at Liverpool!

For me,its a straight fight between Didier Drogba,Mohammed Salah and Sadio Mane!
My choices are based on no of assists,no of goals,consistency,disciplinary conduct,importance/influence to the team and the trophies that they won for their respective team!
It will be unfair to choose just one of them!
They are to me the greatest players that adequately represented Africa in the EPL!

is fct different from "the federation"

Is boy and girl different in the family, are they not giving birth by their parents?

The constitution only indicated fct because is a capital of the federation,

The same way, a girl is identify separately from the boys because of the gender, but the same member of the family,

Fct is also identify separately because is a capital but the same member of the federation,

The "AND" is just for you to add it among the states,

Because if you have 25% in 24 state, you can be declared winner, till you get 25 state
Once again the laws are as explicit about getting 25% in FCT to be declared winner!
That's the reason why all the former presidents either won FCT or attained the mandatory 25% except Tinubu!
Since its a first time a president would not achieve the 25% in FCT,lets wait for the tribunal to decide! cool cool

Yes. And you are here misinterpreting d laws. Are u d judge? 36 states and FCT. Falana SAN came out twice (a day to d election on arise and in January in channels tv) and said is not compulsory. Secondly. Only BAT met one of conditions accoulrding to u. Which of d oda candidates got 25% in 24 states. So assuming dia will be a runoff, who will now be d candidate to face BAT?
No sir its self explanatory...U just need to remove emotions and you will see it explicitly!
As much as i admire the legendary counsel of the great Falana,i would disagree with him on this one!
25% in FCT is mandatory....This is the only president that neither won nor attained 25% of FCT!
Even the occasionally unpopular PMB worked hard enough to achieve above 25% at FCT despite losing twice!
You dont need to meet just one but all the requirements....You must satisfy the requirements as stipulated in the constitution to be declared winner of the election!
Its doesn't matter what the other candidates attained, the law remains the law and must be strictly adhered to with zero emotions!
Based on the content of the law and the present votes attained by the three major parties pending the outcome of the tribunal,APC will square up with PDP in a runoff in 21 days from the initial election where the candidate with the highest votes will emerge winner!

What is that explicit requirement - "where the margin of lead is less than the total number of voters in PU's where election didn't hold or voided".

That's the condition for rerun. Otherwise, they can't call for rerun because of Abuja.
There are two (2) conditions for determining a winner of a presidential election:

1. A presidential candidate must secure the highest number of votes cast at the election

2. He/she must secure not less than 25% of votes cast in at least two-thirds of all the States of the federation and FCT

The Electoral Act (2022) states that the winner of the presidential election will be subjected to the provisions of section 134 of the Nigerian Constitution.

“In an election to the office of the President or Governor whether or not contested and in any contested election to any other elective office, the result shall be ascertained by counting the votes cast for each candidate and subjected to the provisions of sections 133, 134 and 179 of the Constitution,”


The candidate that receives the highest number of votes shall be declared elected only if they also fulfill a quota of 25 percent of the total votes cast in about 24 states including/and the Federal Capital Territory.

Section 134, subsection 2, of the 1999 Constitution states:
“A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected where, there being more than two candidates for the election-he has the highest number of votes cast at the election; and he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.”


The failure of one candidate to fulfill this requirements will make the election inconclusive. This implies that INEC will have to conduct a Run Off (second election). It must be conducted within 21 days from the date of the first election from the date of the declaration of the results for the first round of the election.

What is a Run Off
This is a voting system used to elect a single winner where no candidate meets the condition for securing a win in the first round.

Oga rest, wch constitution, wia is it, quote it here. You pple keep going around telling same lie all over, gullible ones will now be buying and spreading it around.. electoral law said 25% in 24 states and highest vote cast. In d case of BAT, he got both, odaz didn't get d oda two requirements for runoff. So y shld dia be one?
Section 134 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
(1) A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have be been duly elected, where, there being only two candidates for the election -

(a) he has the majority of votes cast at the election; and

(b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

(2) A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected where, there being more than two candidates for the election-

(a) he has the highest number of votes cast at the election;

and

(b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

(3) In a default of a candidate duly elected in accordance with subsection (2) of this section their shall be a second election in accordance with subsection (4) of this section at which the only candidate shall be -

(a) the candidate who scored the highest number of votes at any election held in accordance with the said subsection (2) of this section; and

(b) one among the remaining candidates who has a majority of votes in the highest number of States, so however that where there are more than one candidate with majority of votes in the highest number of States, the candidate among them with the highest total of votes cast at the election shall be the second candidate for the election.

(4) In default of a candidate duly elected under the foregoing subsections, the Independent National Electoral Commission shall within seven days of the result of the election held under the said subsections, arrange for an election between the two candidates and a candidate at such election shall be deemed elected to the office of President if -

(a) he has a majority of votes cast at the election; and

(b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja

(5) In default of a candidate duly elected under subsection (4) of this section, the Independent National Electoral Commission shall, within seven days of the result of the election held under the aforesaid subsection (4), arrange for another election between the two candidates to which the subsection relates and a candidate at such election shall be deemed to have been duly elected to the office of President, if he has a majority of the votes cast at the election.
There are two (2) conditions for determining a winner of a presidential election:

1. A presidential candidate must secure the highest number of votes cast at the election

2. He/she must secure not less than 25% of votes cast in at least two-thirds of all the States of the federation and FCT

The Electoral Act (2022) states that the winner of the presidential election will be subjected to the provisions of section 134 of the Nigerian Constitution.

“In an election to the office of the President or Governor whether or not contested and in any contested election to any other elective office, the result shall be ascertained by counting the votes cast for each candidate and subjected to the provisions of sections 133, 134 and 179 of the Constitution,”

INEC has declared Bola Tinubu President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria, & no one will change it.
I am simply using the laws to interpret what should happen!
Every president from 1999 till date have either won FCT or attained 25% of FCT except Tinubu!
If we are to go according to the constitution, INEC should have abided by their constitution by doing a rerun instead of declaring a candidate that didn't meet one of the requirement!

I am not implying that it is impossible but in an ideal situation if a candidate can win all the 36 states of the federation, getting at least 25% in Abuja FCT shouldn't be a problem

There are 2 conditions to become President elect, let's assume you are correct, Tinubu cannot be declared.

Tinubu has the highest votes and 25% in 36 states.

Obi has 25% FCT

Atiku has non

Kwankwaso worst.

In this situation, who gets declared?

It can't be Tinubu, it also can't be Obi.

There's then no constitutional procedure for INEC to resolve it and May 29 Buhari leaves. INEC is not empowered to do another rerun or new election. No VP. Even if Senate president becomes president according to the constitution. The current senate President leaves office soon. The new Senate can't be inaugurated because there's no president to inaugurate and CJN doesn't have that power.

That will be a LACUNA!

That FCT 25% you guys are talking about is a Lacuna and no court will contemplate it no matter how much you romanticise it.
INEC should have called for a rerun immediately after the election when they observed that tinubu didn't meet the 25% of FCT
Its stated explicitly in the electoral laws that when a candidate doesn't attain the requirement though has the spread and the majority of votes,INEC will do a rerun in 21 days!
The candidate with the highest number of votes plus the spread and the first runner up with a spread will go on a contest and the candidate with the highest votes wins!
Bottom line,INEC failed to abide by their own laws!

You are still missing it, it not a must that you win Abuja, but the 25% is required which Tinubu did not meet...
Tinubu is the only president elect that neither won abuja nor attained the required 25% from FCT!
OBJ won twice in 1999 and 2003
Yaradua won in FCT though results weren't shown up till now due to widespread manipulation of results which Yaradua himself admitted!
GEJ won FCT 58.89% in 2011
Buhari didn't win FCT but attained above the 25% requirement in FCT

If 25% of Abuja is a most. 1999, 2003, 2015, 2019 elections would have automatically been a stalemate with no winner. There is also no way to proceed having a president in the constitution. It will be a lacuna.

Think critically my friend.Obj didn't win Abj twice, same with Buhari twice.

Imagine each of all those sceneries, no one wins. What will happen.

Think very well, if 25% in Abj is a must. This election has no winner, and the constitution has nothing prescribed for this situation. It's a deadlock and then chaos.

Those who drafted the constitution know this and they couldn't have planned a deadlock election. One that has happened 5 out of 7 elections since 1999.

Lastly, did I mention Tinubu or INEC?

Your comprehension and interpretation is simply wrong.
Contrary to your assertions,PDP under OBJ won FCT twice scoring 59,234 votes with 59.8% in 1999 and 130k votes with 49% in 2003.
Buhari didn't win FCT but he had 47.72% in 2015 and 35.91% in 2019 thereby gaining the 25% required of FCT
Tinubu is the only president elect that did not meet up with the 25% FCT

The constitution explicitly states that where a candidate doesn't meet the requirement though has a spread,a rerun is established where the one with the highest number of votes plus spread will contest with the first runner up that also has the spread in 21 days!
The eventual winner will be decided based on the candidate that is able to attain the highest number of votes!

Let’s say a candidate won 36 states 100% but failed to get 25% in FCT.

Are you telling me this candidate should not be declared president?

So Abuja is now more important than every other state?

Does this make any sense?
The constitution said if you do not meet the 25% in abuja while getting the spread in the other states,a rerun which includes the one with the highest number of votes plus spread and the first runner up in the election with the spread will have an election in 21 days!
In the rerun,whoever wins with the highest number of votes(not spread) will be declared the winner!
These are contained in the electoral laws as amended!
