That wording is ambiguous, meaning it can be interpreted in more than one way.

25% in 2/3 of the states and FCT could me:

1. 25% in 2/3 of the 36 states + FCT (37 subnational units)

2. 25% in 36 states and 25% in FCT


Different interpretations. INEC has given theirs and yours don't matter.

It's not ambiguous. It's written in English.
25% in 2/3 of states and FCT is not the same as 25% in 2/3 of states and 25% in FCT.
And no, Mr Igini is not INEC. Peradventure if the candidate that'll have the majority vote doesn't have up to 25% in the FCT, INEC will approach the Court if they're not clear.

aieromon:
Excerpts from FGN constitution




TLDR: Presidential Candidate needs majority vote + 25% of votes in at least 24 states + 25% of votes in the FCT. The Electoral Act 2022 refers to the Sections 133, 134 and 179 (for governorship candidates) of the 1999 Constitution.

Check the wordings again. The law never said you must have at 25% of vote cast in the FCT to be declared winner. At least, 25% in 2/3 of states and the FCT, is not the same as at least, 25% in FCT and 2/3 of 36 states.

Lmao... If nigerians dont vote obi, its doom for Nigerians and not obi.. The man is rich and can leave the country to face his cashflows if he does not win.


Who will suffer for the next 8yrs if a good president does not enter office?

Still same nigerians..

Talk for yourself alone. As bad as Buhari reign is Nigerian economy didn't affect me, apart from the recent Naira redesign policy, which only makes it difficult to enjoy my money.
If Obi enters, if Obi enters, Oga you better work hard! No government will change your fortune. That's your job.

Maa gbo ode!

No one's stopping Bastards from being the BATstards. that they are.

No wonder you're supporting Obi. You guys lack decorum. You insult people at will on a faceless forum. That's an indication that you're a bastard, just like the man that sired you.

go there !!!! Wailer .

You're a troublemaker.

I live in a mini-estate in Abuja. None of my neighbors have PVC and they're Obidients.

People that'll be at home on election day, drinking burukutu with dog meat.

alsudan:
Another reason Thiefnubuu will never be President.

Calling Nigerians immigrants in their own country.

The Gbagi/Gwari are the Indigenes of the most developed place in Nigeria, but you never see them insulting other tribes or calling them immigrants who need to be grateful.

And Gbagis are second class citizens, even in their own home.
Yourubas are not Gbagis, so if you want submissive people that you can easily suppress, relocate to Abuja (The most developed place in Nigeria) and leave Lagos

Doyou2019:
You no get sense.
Whose policy is it? No be APC's?
Ori e ti gbale!!!

Your father no get sense.
I'm voting for Tinubu, not APC. You can cry all you want.

Xxxxtentacion2:
shey for your mind now people wey no see cash collect go come stand for queue dey vote APC ....
JUST DEY PLAY

Abi o. So the alternative na to queue to vote for those that supported the senseless policy? Dey play.

PeterObi4LP:
May heaven pass judgement to any Christian planning to vote Muslim Muslim ticket to oppress the Christians in Nigeria. May the person and his family regreat all the rest of their lives

The same heavens that it pleases for Buhari to be a 2 term President? Dey play. You'll soon realize that Yahweh will not necessarily use only Christians to fulfill His purposes.
You see Christians, Moslems and soon, but The Almighty sees his Children.

Offpointng:
As far as I'm concerned, this Election is btwn Atiku and Obi with Atiku having the upper hand. but not to argue Saturday is by the corner

Abi o. Saturday is almost here.

Obi will come distant 3rd behind Atiku.

Mrtaye:
So Yoruba man can also go contest for political positions in far away USA, Canada, UK etc then an Igbo or hausa man can also contest in Lagos and anywhere

We Yorubas don't go about calling USA, Canada and UK no man's land. We respect our boundaries.
The last I checked, we have Igbo people holding elective positions in Lagos. This is never because you have the population, but because we allowed you. Trust me, no Igbo man will ever be allowed to become the chairman of even a market association in Lagos (even if there's no Yoruba man in the market) if that's what we want.
We're observing and waiting for the day when an Ebonyi man will become a ward councillor in Anambra, then we can trust you with more.
But with the way you guys play politics of hate, I don't think things would get better

Nonexisting1:
I'm sure he is part of leave our Lagos crew yet he from Kogi state. Iragbiji man will soon relocate to his home state, Osun. Nigerian youths are not smiling this time.

Any Yoruba man, irrespective of Nigerian artificial state of origin, can contest for elective positions anywhere within our boundaries.
It's those of you shouting Yoruba Moslems and Yoruba Christians that I pity most. You'll soon start your usual Yorubas are betrayers as if we promised you anything.

I am.sorry to hear that they can't accept transfer ...I have learnt something in life ..always be nice to people..

The relationship I created with those market women is really helping me ..infact I bought from.4 of them....and impair to one of them....other had to collect from her ...infact they some asked me to go with what I bought....in there world ....OGA WE KNOW YOU ..YOU NO BE ANOTHER PERSON ...I WAS THE ONE INSIST IOST MAKE TRANSFER .

Watch how this hardship will disappear after the election . Is very clear politicians are nor fighting for us ...buhari has really reduce there chances of using money for election...If wr can survive covid why not a few days for the election. Untill we got a leader that emerged not from vote buying...we are not ready for progress .

This policy hasn't achieved and will not achieve anything but just hardships for the people.
Buhari had 8 years to better the lots of Nigerians through lifting people from poverty, ensuring safety of lives and property, but chose to use currency swap to curb vote buying and kidnapping?
Isn't poverty the major reason why people may tend to sell their votes in the first place? Why leave leprosy to cure ringworm?
With the way even the well to dos are suffering to lay hands on cash, vote just got cheaper.

caracas:
Lol
We shall see , it is now you ppl will understand when we tell you that the igbos outside of the south east are more than the ones in the south east….

No problem. Since it's Igbos v Others, you'll hear from us.

caracas:
Are you sure you’re ok or you just been mischievous?
If any other party gets up to 10% in cross river that party tried. Obi will clear cross river state n there’s nothing the governor can do about it.
As for ogun obi might not win but he will get more than 30% of the votes there.

It's easier for Tinubu to win Anambra than for Obi to get 10% in Ogun or any other SW states. Mark this.

greatiyk4u:
My question is will Tinubu die if he doesn't become the president?

Why manipulating the media to cause panic and confusion everywhere?

The desperation is becoming embarrassing to every sane minded Nigerians

It's also Tinubu that created a CBN page for cash deposit with Commercial Banks right? Just dey play

Kcapplied:
Cover your face in shame young man. Better suffering will still come your way that you will understand the meaning of selling bad product.

Mumu kid. Better suffering you say? I'm OK with anyone who wins the election. It won't affect my income whatsoever. Heck, Buhari is the worst President we've had and my income increased by more than 10 folds just within the last 2 years, so if you're waiting for someone like me to suffer because of bad governance, you'll die waiting.
It's only dummies that blame their misfortunes on government.
I voted against Buhari twice because I was sure nothing good would come out of him (you can't give what you don't have), and I'll be voting for Tinubu this time around because I know what he's capable of.
See! I get paid per hour and if you think I'll be wasting a minute of my time voting for someone based on sentiment, then you must be mistaking me for yourself.
Tinubu will win and Nigeria will be better for it and you'll be glad Obi didn't win.

Danniedpastor:
You are already learning the hard way.
Selling a condemned product is not an easy task. So, keep trying.

No problem. Eligible voters will tell you who is the condemned product by next week. No need for you to cry.

Don't die of hypertension yet,wait the the results starts pouring in.
You dumb Tinubu guys thinks Obi is an Igbo project... I laugh at your failure.
Tinubu was an average Governor in his time. He was not even among the first ten yet you want to compare him with Obi that was awarded best in many sectors. Best secured state by the IG of police, Best in Education as Anambra moved from 26th to 1st position in WAEC,he won Melinda and Bill gates award as a governor that met the MDG standard at that time.
O boy, I was born and raised in Lagos. I witnessed the crazy tenure of That nitwit called Tinubu. That guy only opened doors for thugs to have access to more funds and converted Lagos to a personal business. So ,stop hyping a thief.
I know much about Anambra and Lagos under both men so,save your lies for your Swagga WhatsApp groups.
N/b: I'm not Igbo o

The records we have even here on Nairaland disagree with all these cooked up beans you're vomiting. Na me you want to tell about Obi and Tinubu? E be like brain dey pain this one.
I was in working in Anambra during Obi tenure as governor and I can tell you categorically that he's a failure. If you disagree, you may as well mention just one standing legacy of the failed politician.
Strong institutions are the backbones of every successful society. If nothing, Tinubu is the pioneer of the revenue collection template every state and even the FG is using today.
It's just about 9 days away, we'll know between me and you, who will have hypertension.
I just don't want to hear Yorubas are betrayers or tribalists, since you believe Obi is not an Igbo project. You'll learn the hard way.

Egalitarian1:
Idiotic comment!
Where were you foolish Soludo when we were suffering the long queues at filing stations, inflation etc?

Na because you want vote buying to continue so as to enable either Atiku or Tinubu win since you are selfishly eyeing presidency and Peter Obi's emergency at the polls with mean outright death of your political career as even your second tenure as Anambra Governor wouldn't be guaranteed let alone presidency!

Selfish politician!

The Obi you're supporting, where has he been in the last 7 years?
After next week, it will be clear to you dummies that Naira swap won't curb vote buying. At best, it's it creates an enabling environment for it.

xelly:
Well, I know that a fool is one that does the same thing over and over and expect different result.

The KOWA woman is not Igbo, just to tell you how we think. If you present Orji Uzor and Okorocha, Igbos will reject them. If you have any wrong done by Peter Obi, show it and stop spreading hate. Ebonyi State Governor is interested in contesting. Can you check his record and transformations in Ebonyi State?

If Abia State Governor still declare interest and he is to contest against Sowore, Sowore will get much votes in Abia State compared to the Governor.

So how did he become their two-term governor in Abia if they'd rather vote Sowore?

greggng:
Some Nigerians are not smart ...adaptation is part of life..the good news is that he has the fund in his account . He can be creative by getting his banking apps or using his atm card to transfer to online apps like opay , kuda or palmpay . He can transfer 100k to those account and call it expenses account . This is how I have been running my life ...get the o line banking app atm or transfer directly to wherever you wanna buy stuff. I went to egbeda market bought some stuff and directly transfer to the market woman account ...I left there to an igbo man food stuff shop ...infact he only collect transfer or pos ...I did the needful.and took my rice and other stuff from there . Coming home I enter a supermarket bought beverages and transfer...

I don't know why someone with 800k will allow himself to suffer cos he can't get cash ...let him be creative

Dey play. With all the monies I have in my various online apps, I was unable to buy common vegetables yesterday because they wouldn't accept transfer.
On a normal day, I don't even keep up to 10k in cash, but at least if we're going cashless, we should be able to get the little cash we need to complement. Don't forget that as of today, no economy in the world is cashless in the real sense. They still use cash for some transactions and it's available when needed.
If cash withdrawal is going to be restricted to 5k daily, fine, make it available.
I repeat, this policy is heading our fragile economy to only one direction, doom!

Danniedpastor:
Not all Yoruba's are bigots... Choke on that.

But all Igbos are? Isn't that why y'all are supporting Obi despite his poor run as Anambra Governor?
I wonder what's bad in been an Ethnicist. If you think Mimiko, who Tinubu helped secured his mandate in Ondo would by any means work for a failed Anambra politician, then be ready for the shock that will hit you from Ondo. We're ready for you guys.
If Obi gets 10% in any Yoruba state, INEC should declare him winner.

I didn't know Duke, Mimiko and co are still Governors and are part of G5.
He even said Mimiko supporting Obi ahead of Tinubu. To what end?
