Your politics of APC begins and ends in how to capture and control proceeds from oil and gas deposits in the Niger Delta, not for any better for Nigeria and Nigerians.
What good has Tinubu's strategising with Apc to capture power brought to Nigerians since 2015? No good, except Nigeria reduced in 8 years by APC to become a country harboring the largest number of poor and hungry people in the world, as well as one of the most terrorised countries on earth. Do you think Igbos get happy with failed projects like you?
and you expect apc to give presidential ticket to Igbos, they will wait till the next 16yrs
Please stop this use of foul language and talk like refined person. What is "Obidient"? We are making discourse but you're using gutter language to name calling. I didn't see where I ever mentioned that Tinubu cannot get or winning heavily in his constituency. You're the one introducing what you mathematically nursed it to be. Tinubu can even get 99.99% anywhere in Nigeria and not only in Yoruba land, same way any of the candidate can also do likewise in any state of the federation but must be seen to be transparently gotten, that is the main issue in contention. You're seen it that if Obi could get such percentage of votes in his domain why won't Tinubu get such in his domains but you forgot that even Atiku couldn't get such in his domain but Atiku and his supporters not saying what you guys are saying. If anyone rig to their favour let the tribunal do justice to it but trying to suppress people opinion is antidemocratic. You can take time and watch this video and see what LP is saying, how INEC fortified their own results. What they announced quite different from what the posted on the IREVs portal. Just 6 local results have covered the total results given to LP in Rivers state and Rivers state is having 23 LGAs. Meaning the score of LP in the remaining 17 LGAs is minus. Just take time and watch and learn what the LP is fighting.
we have all agreed not to bring river state into anything rigging or suppression of vote, wike even said you should remove the 53k from apc vote and add it to Obi vote if you think is 53k vote he (wike) will use to rigged election if he wanted to rigged election.
tell me any other state apart from river and lagos LP lie of having 960k vote, just imagine , you will score 95% from your strongest opponent home, not just the zone but the home of your number 1 opponent. no be juju be that.
as me and buhari said that the results reflect the true wishes of Nigerians
There were Igbos who formed APC with Tinubu and others. Many of those Igbos are presidential materials and are a hundred times more presidential material than Tinubu. Why didn't Tinubu give way for those Igbos?
Igbo man formed PDP in 1998 through which a Yoruba, Obasanjo, became president. There were hardly few Yoruba people in PDP then. Most of Yoruba were in tribal political party of Tinubu then. I will not descend to your level of insulting. You people falsely think you are blackmailing anyone to silence via insults.
the Igbos contested with tinubu in apc primary and they lost to tinubu, meanwhile, when Tinubu were busy and strategies on how to win the election for buhari, the idiotic pigs were insulting tinubu since 2014 for supporting buhari, and the Igbos in apc could not invest in the election to give buhari 25% vote, the same way Igbos refuse to give tinubu 5% of vote, tomorrow you will be crying of marginalisation
Reason the federal high court throw out the case is due to Locus standi. That is, pdp doesn't have the legal position to file such case. At that level, only somebody that did primary with shetima, tinubu, or APC member can file such case.
But at election petition tribunal, pdp, LP, candidates have the locus standi to file such case by the provisions of the law.
So, I can assure you 100% that the case will be listened to at petition tribunal. Thanks.
it will be throw out in election tribunal, because is a pre election matter
Let me use the term indictment... Tinubu was indicted... He was never sentenced nor convicted... His indictment led to him forfeiting $460,000 out of $1.4 million.... I interpret the indictment as being found guilty...
It's just like a fraudster or yahoo boy paying N460,000 into your account meanwhile you already have N940,000 from salary and other sources in the account before this payment of 460k... Bringing the total to N1,400,000.
Then EFCC obtain court order to freeze your account. You then sue EFCC and after a while, you and EFCC reach agreement that you'll forfeit the 460k while they leave the rest... That's Tinubu's case in summary...
Was he indicted? Yes. Was he found guilty? Yes, based on perception or interpretation. Was he convicted? No.
you said . I interpret the indictment as being found guilty...
You still confused yourself that he was found guilty from your last paragraph
Tinubu is not a convict but he's been found guilty of an offence that can be classified as fraudulent. That is why money in his accounts was confiscated. However, the offence happened over 20 years ago, far above the 10 years limit set by the constitution. Hence, Tinubu cannot be disqualified based on this issue
been found guilty of an offence that can be classified as fraudulent. That is why money in his accounts was confiscated.
If found guilty, why did the court not confiscate all the money involved, Why taken little for a capital offense,
The US SUPPORTED AND AIDED TINUBU AND HIS NADECO CREW MEMBERS when they where fighting Abacha... That is why they gave Tinubu a soft landing landing... TINUBU was "fighting" for democracy, so he was a friend of the US and they allowed him to use some of his illegally acquired wealth to fight Abacha...
Why would the US do this?
They no longer had free access to Nigeria's crude oil via several of their controlled oil companies in Nigeria because Abacha threw a spanner in their wheels of operation, being a dictator.
I wanted to ignore your thread, But to correct you on this, The supposed crime happened in 1993, And Nadeco was 1998
Firstly, Abuja is not a state, secondly they don't need to use the word mandatory like for example look at this statement from a canadian university and ask yourself if it is any different from what is in the constitution
Canadian Universities that accept WAEC in 2023: 1. Brandon University: A minimum of five subjects, including English and mathematics
When such is specified like that it means English and Mathematics is mandatory, which means other subjects can be interchanged to meet the minimum requirement but these 2 cannot be substituted, did you see any word there as mandatory, but if you don't have the English and maths then yo can't gain admission.
Ask yourself which state was mentioned, none, only FCT was mentioned just like the English and Maths here making it mandatory, which means the other 24 states can be interchanged among all the 36 states, but not the FCT, the FCT is the mandatory state to considered winner
So 25% in the FCT is mandatory...
but my example best this issue, And you diverted it to equity,
2/3 of 36 boys and girl did not make the girl mandatory
AM AMUSE THAT YOU ARE SURPRISE! THESE ARE FOLKS WHO BELIEVE WHOLE HEARTEDLY THAT BUHARI IS DEAD AND NIGERIA IS A ZOO! IT'S TOO EASY TO PLAY ON THEIR MENTALITY.
ANYWAY, AM LOOKING FORWARD TO ISHILOVE OPENING A THREAD SOON.
Sahara reporters and people gazette just want to make money on obiidiots head, to make them feel alright for a while
You still are missing the point, this like someone who does WAEC and clears all his paper and does not pass the minimum score in English, he can never gain admission in any school in the world that uses English, so why the special privilege on English.
That is the same privilege Abuja gets for been the FCT of Nigeria....
in all school requirements, It is stated boldly that english and mathematics compulsory before gaining admission, But the constitution did not use the word mandatory for fct, Meaning you can win any state, provided is 25 states. The constitution made 25 states compulsory, If you get 25% in 24 states, you can't be declared winner
The problem with you Tinubu supporters is you people don't pay attention to details, you guys are always lumping things and generalizing issues.
You ask why Abuja should be given special treatment from other states and I will give you a few reasons.
Have you ever though of an Abuja indigene filling a form where there is a place for state of origin, remember under the constitution Abuja is not a state, the supreme court says in such matter that Abuja should be considered a state for equity, what this shows is that by virtue of Abuja been FCT it became disadvantaged on so many other things that if they are not given special privileges they will lose out a lot both as indigenes and dwellers.
Now you might say it is just state of origin issue but that is where it even gets more complicated on some other matters, in 2018 the indigines of Abuja had to drag the FG to court because they were sidelined due to the constitution that states that a president must appoint ministers from every state of the federation.
So past president were not appointing anyone from the FCT by the virtue of it not been a state, the case dragged to the supreme and they ruled that for equity Abuja should be given a special privilege to appoint people from Abuja for equity again.
Now let's come back to the constition for electing a president, you now see why they made it mandatory for 25% in the FCT, because if they did not, FCT will be the only place that will not require the 25% by anyone to become president because it will be automatically sidelined by the virtue of not been a state and if you say that it should be lumped together as an ordinary state without making it mandatory then someone can drag the case to court and say that by virtue of the constitution the FCT is not a state.
Which means that if someone gets 25% there it can be challenged as not to be counted and vice-versa.
You see why it should have a special privilege making it mandatory to avoid complexity....
you're confusing yourself, If you get 25% in 24 state, you can be the declare winner, But with fct 25% can be use to make up the 25% of 25 states required,
Your explanation does not understand the word equity....
No, Because the drafters of the constitution did not considered equity or morality, We are talking about who is more acceptance in the federation, Tinubu were accepted in 30 states, Atiku were accepted in about 20 states, And obi in 16 states,
Or as obi won fct, making the States win by obi to be 12 States, why don't you double obi number of states won to be 13 States, since fct is special.
As I said before, idiotic pigs and una senior advocates of illiterate are wasting our precious time
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 no be fight...we learn everyday!
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
Even after explaining, you don't still understand, you have 36 boys and 1 girl and at Random you are mandated to share money to at least 25 of them every 4 years, but your eyes must be closed while selecting them.
That girl already is disadvantaged because in the next 20 years She might never be picked, so how do you ensure that she doesn't grow old and die without getting picked, single her out and ensure she gets her own minimum share of what the remaining 24 boys will get anytime you are sharing...
That way She gets a special privilege of been the only girl...
every four years she has be getting her share, And this is the first time not to get her share because 30 boys were considered, Which is more considerate? 24 boys and the girl got 25%, or for 30 boys to get 25%, Atleast, it should be more beneficial to be accepted by 30 boys than to be accepted by 24 boys and girl, Nothing special about the girl, We are all the same members of the family
hahahaha, Heartbreak loading for you, Idiotic pigs will soon start to insult buhari and cjn when their fake prophecy come to pass, We warned you that Obi can't get 25% in more than 16 states, you were saying is a lie, but you have see the reality
Una no go get peace of mind until Tinubu returns the stolen mandate he’s moving around with.
Because you got yourselves declared, you went all out against Igbos and butchered them because they simply wanted to cast their votes and you think the rest of Nigeria is not watching?
You are doing it to the Igbos today, who knows who you will face tomorrow?
Nigerians, from north to south, are now apprehensive of a Tinubu presidency. Add that to the fact that he is on a stolen mandate.
Rough road ahead for your agbado master.
idiotic pigs are the ones worry, by dishes out fake news just to make they feel happy, After all the fake prophecy and fake news have failed, you people will be left with heartbreak
Thank God you used girl instead of girls, that means you had to include the only one girl because you know she is different from the boys, then again if you would be fair to her for being the only girl you will want her to benefit some rights that 2/3 of those boys will get.
Because there is possibility that she will always miss out when they are sharing anything if you lump her as 2/3 with the rest of the boys since she is only one different.
So what would you do, give her her own 2/3 as a constant with the remaining 2/3 of the 36 boys, that way you will always make sure she is not left out in the equation...
That is the special privilege Abuja gets for been FCT, this same thing I just explained is what made the indigenes of Abuja go to court to challenge the FG for appointment of ministers in 2018.
Most presidents in the past refused appointing a minister from FCT on the grounds that it is not a state, because of that the FCT indigenes were always missing because the constitution was that the president should appoint from states of the federation, the case dragged on to supreme court and the supreme Court gave a verdict that Abuja should be given a special privilege for ministerial appointment, so they don't always miss out.
I think that was the same constitutional problem the writers saw and gave Abuja the same special privilege because they know most likely they will miss out always by the virtue of not been called a state, every presidential participant and party will ignore them, some candidates will not even go there to campaign, they will just term it a needless location that has no political value to win election.
And you know what it means politically not to have value, it will also mean neglect when political holders get into office, because he would say whether he does to them good or bad he doesn't need their votes to win....
you're speaking abadabidi, You have agreed that fct is lump with the rest state as 37 states, The only girl can be among the 25 or may not, Nothing special about fct, The only girl is included because is among the family. Fct is part of the federation
