Ofunaofu:
Most especially with the coming on board of a notorious narcotic drug trafficker the state of Chicago has ever known

I'm sure Drug Cartels are run better than your state in particular, and Nigeria in general.
Yeye dey smell.

They should avoid Nigeria, as always.

Okoroawusa:
Wow! This is so apt. Reno really saw the future.

Is this not better than the prophecies of Enenche, Oyakhilome and Oyedepo put together?

You dey mind those ones?

SmartyPants:
They are all working together abeg.

Why did the NLC not do its protest before the governorship elections? Because they have no genuine interest in protesting - if you ask me, this was planned so as to avoid the impression that the CBN withheld the naira notes and only released them after the governorship elections.

It seems as though they want it to appear as though the trigger was the supposed NLC protest.

The "Smart" in your moniker seems not to be for nothing. NLC and CBN, together with the Buhari FG, can only fool themselves.

So alleged phone theft now attracts death sentence?
Why did the guy even allow the idiot strip him naked? Omo! Dem never born that person.

Tinubu won the last presidential election in Nigeria. That's the fact. Forget long story.

GreyLaw:
As per God wey you be. Persin wey no sure of the next minute. Hahahaha

I'm not God and I can't remember I'm claiming I am, but what I stated above is the voice the Heavens. Tinubu is your President for at least, 4 years. That's a fact.
It's also a fact that Senate Presidency won't be zoned to the SE. Maybe Vice President of the Senate, no doubt, but certainly not the President.

StreetFight:
2031 to 2039 is for Shettima / Olayemi Cardozo.

Strong head will still make him contest against the Northerners, against the norm just like his boss, Atiku did this year.

Tflex01:
2039 actually...

2031 is the turn of the North.

He doesn't know when not to try.

colorsofrainbow:
Like I said earlier,I will make reference to this post sometime soon. Not here to argue

After 2031 when we'll remind Obi he's too old to contest.

Nobody is zoning Senate Presidency to the SE, and sorry, Obi is not recovering any mandate.

Bundaweber:
You and the guy are very wrong. On my grandmum street where I registered, there are at least 78 registered voters. It was only 4 of us that voted. So how can you use that to determine our population?

I'm not saying every polling unit have double registration or ineligible voters, but that's the case in most cases.
In most remote communities, they import people to register so they use the numbers of registered voters as bargaining chips.

ciencee:
It's rear, you will hadly see someone that goes a year without wearing something that has black in it.

Yea, I know. Personally, I like clothes with with darker colors like a mixture of black, brown and deep sea blue.

Biodun556:
Get the number of registered voters in your state and let's know the actual number of those that voted

It cuts across Nigeria.

Companies and religious institution compelled their people to get PVC in Lagos many don't actually believe in Nigeria electoral process causing wide spread political apathy during election

The guy is right. We are no where near 200 million in population in Nigeria. The census figures are bogus and doesn't represent the reality.
See, I've monitored elections in many states in Nigeria and I can boldly tell you registered voters should be at most, 50% of what we have now.
In many places in the North for instance, a larger percentage of registered voters are minors. You don't need to be told. The photos would reveal that. Same thing goes for the census.
Can you explain why are whole of Jigawa was carved out of Kano and Kano it's still the most populous state in Nigeria, while Jigawa itself has more population than Kwara state?

Fighter2029:
If Abj is interpreted as 37th state,where is her Governor,you can only end up ridiculing yourself when you try hard to defend the defenseless,even with all the aggressive rigging, Tinubu still couldn't meet the required constitutional right to be declared a president elect.

The Minister acts as the Governor, the National assembly the law makers, the Area councils, local governments.
These things have already been explained in several other judgements, but if the oppositions decide to waste their time in court, they're welcome.
Section 299 already asked the FCT to be treated as if it's a state of the federation on constitutional matters.
Not mentioning the FCT in section 134 would have made it impossible for residents of the FCT to vote, since it's not so called a state, but a later section clears that doubt.
As much as I agree that the wordings of that section is ambiguous (I feel further explanations should have sufficed), it's not meant to be misunderstood.

babytoun:
Because by this singular vote an Abuja resident is not just choosing his president but also deciding who becomes his "Governor". For other states ,the average voter has a seperate opportunity to pick his Governor . So let me flip it , is the Abuja resident so inferior that he is not allowed to pick his Governor like other states ?

How's the President the Governor of FCT when we have a Minister? Are you high?

ciencee:
Black is always the best color, if you think am lying, don't wear anything that contains black for a year.

Some people don't ever wear anything with black and nothing do them.

It will end in tears for them as always.

jersey4:
Obi vs Atiku only, Obi wins
OBI VS TINUBU only, Obi wins.
Obi vs Tinubu vs Atiku, Tinubu wins.
Atiku vs Tinubu only, Atiku wins.(Muslim, Muslim tickets kills Tinubu)

Ultimately, Atiku is Obi's nemesis and vice versa.

Obi can not see Tinubu's taillights in a national election, if it had been just the two of them. The outcome wouldn't have differ from the last election, because you see those people that voted for Atiku? Almost all of them would have voted for Tinubu.
To be clear, Tinubu would have won Lagos and Osun. Obi wouldn't have done better. Same with votes from the North.

middlebelter:
You open your mouth anyhow by attacking Oonirisa? Haven't you heard that nobody insults Ooni and go free? You just insulted him publicly now, calling him a ridiculous name. Do you think he is a political office holder like GMB or Tinubu that can be insulted? You have just made a big mistake!
Check it out even when the Oba of Eko, Ridwan Akinolu was rude to him, despite all appeal public, pronouncement of forgiveness by the Ooni, what happened to the man, his palace and subsequent attack?
Mine is just an advice. If you can delete this comment, do it as fast as your fingers can help you.

You just compounded his woes by quoting him. Now, deleting won't help him.

agadez007:
FCT?,congratuations

now mention one in the whole of south south abi those ones too don’t sell land to you too?
What’s the name of the estate in owerri

I don't know about SS. I can only talk about SE and I think that's what this thread is all about.

agadez007:
Mention how many Yoruba with estates in south south
Yoruba are almost like Hausa,they don’t buy land outside

A Yoruba man developed the largest Estate in the entire West Africa, Gwarinpa Estate.
However, I was denied the joy of owning a landed property in Owerri, just because I'm not Igbo and you'll expect such people to allow me build an Estate there?

Where's the man said to be on wheelchair?

I know at least, 3 Governor-elects personally, Dare, Otti and Bago.

Electorate:
How old are you? You clearly haven't completed your education reason for your lack of comprehension, go back to school. Bye.

Your ignorance will be cured in the court.

AntiTerrorist:
Your past ten generations combined did not achieve up to 1% of what Obi has achieved. The humble man will soon become your president. Dey there be looking for the meaning of BVAS and iRev.

What has he achieved? If by achievements, you mean the amount of money you have, then that goes to explain why most of your people push drugs.
Sorry to burst your bubbles, in the world of intellectuals, Obi cannot lace my shoes.
I may not be a billionaire, but I can buy a house, car, travel anywhere I want. I'm not poor and I can never be, so no day will when I'll need 1kobo from Obi. All his billions is for his pockets. He's not and can not feed me.
And yes, I'll become the President of this country way before he does. That's a fact.

Akwamkpuruamu:
Simple analogy, to gain admission you need five credits and English and maths. Can u gain admission without English,, even if you pass other subjects with A1?

5 subjects and English would makes sense in this instance because English is a proper subject.
However, 36 states and FCT doesn't mean the same thing as your subject instance because FCT is not a proper state of the federation.
If you're asked to represent that statement in Maths and you write something like (2/3 x 36) + 1 instead of 2/3 x (36 + 1), you'll score zero.

Electorate:
You are now saying rubbish, I did not write the constitution and the constitution is very clear on this matter. Tinubu did not win the election constitutionally, period.

Don't bother replying me again, I wont respond cuz I have made myself clear enough.

I'm also not the one that wrote this section

299. The provisions of this Constitution shall apply to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja as if it were one of the States of the Federation; and accordingly .

Why should a candidate that had the majority votes and at least, 25% in 30 states of the federation not be declared winner if the above quote is true that FCT is treated just like a regular state of the federation?
What's your special about the residents of the FCT (I live there) that a sitting President must have at least a quarter of their vote?
So the INEC should conduct a rerun election because a candidate got 80% of the votes in the FCT and he's not the one with the majority vote?

Electorate:
The Constitution in stipulating the requirements for election as Nigerian president states in Section 134(2) that a candidate must (a) have the highest number of votes cast at the election; and (b) have not less than 25% of total votes cast in at least two-third of all the States in the Federation and the FCT, Abuja. Clearly, it appears that the Constitution creates two hurdles that ought to be crossed by a candidate before the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) can return him or her as president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

There you have it, you can rest now and stop the noise.

You're not saying anything different.
So how would you feel if that section stated that "...have not less than 25% of total votes cast in at least two-third of all the States in the Federation"?
Since you don't know why "and the FCT" was included in the phrase.

DMerciful:
Ofcourse we will...you have to prove why you think we didnt score what we got

You'll have to convince the Jurists why you think you won in states like Sokoto, Katsina, Kano, Borno, Jigawa, Kebbi, Zamfara, Niger, Kogi, Kwara, Ekiti, Oyo, Ogun, Ondo and Osun, then we'll prove why you didn't.
But I learned you guys are not talking about how APC rigged the election, but focused on why Tinubu is not eligible. Guess you already know you actually lost the election.

DMerciful:
You guys have to prove it in court

The burden of prove is on Labor Party, not APC.
You have to prove why you think you scored the majority vote.

Electorate:
Going by your assertion, Since FCT is not a state which is rightfully so because it doesn't have a Governor neither does it have representatives in the Senate and House of Representative which makes it DISTINCT and DISTINGUISHED hence the stated 2/3 of all states AND fct.

The AND clearly represent an addition to the 2/3 require to win which the APC didn't meet up to. The APC didn't win the FCT (Mandatory English Language) which means they cannot be declared winner. Period.

There's no where in the constitution that states a candidate must win the FCT to be declared the winner, no?
Section 299 or is it 290 already instructs us to treat FCT as though it's a state in the federal in constitutional matters.
Sticking to allegations of rigging would have been the best best for Obi, banking on an ambiguous section of the constitution.
They'll use the ambiguity to knock your case out.
