I trust you, Lord

The Supreme Court has dismissed PDP’s suit challenging the alleged double Nomination of Kassim Shettima.

The Apex court agrees with the lower courts that the PDP lacks the locus Standi to institute the case.

Justice Adamu Jauro who read the Judgement, added that the PDP acted as meddlesome Interloper and a busy body as it is an internal affair of the APC.

A sum of Two Million Naira was awarded against the PDP, even as the suit was dismissed for lacking in merit.

Zonefree:
Imagine what Tinubu's newspaper Tribune is fact checking

You ask person to go to court, he obeyed, why feeling jittery

gawu1:
And that doesn't invalidate his return as president elect, ok!

Chuksaluta:
The constitution said: 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

Could you clarify what "each of" means

ovieigho:
Tinubu couldn’t get 25% in Abuja because there are no hoodlums and thugs to hijack ballot for him

JagabanBorgu:
LOL.
They have started making up stories against CJN already.

JagabanBorgu:
They believed they were going to win d elections and blamed INEC at the end, they will soon blame CJN

Afamed:
Ignore the children of frustration. The constitution is clear enough

25% of the states and Abuja.

And , is a conjunction here which means, Abuja is also giving the status of a state.

All you need is to win 25%

Section 137 of Nigeria constitution is clear enough

It is like saying if you win all the Local Govts in Anambra in a Govship election but you fail to win Awka, the state capital, you can not be declared winner.

Càrry your gaggon to joke session

I have been reading different posts made by some so-called educated Nigerians claiming that securing 25% in the FCT is mandatory for a Presidential candidate to be declared winner and returned elected. This is quite funny and embarrassing.

After all I read online, I had to go check our constitution and electoral act again to see if those people are indeed right.

Section 134(2)(b) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) states that you must secure (1/4th) 25% of the votes cast in two-thirds of the states and the FCT. Since the FCT isn't a state, you don't expect them to say you must secure 25% of the votes in 37 states reason they stated 36 states and the FCT.

Let's take the issue of impeachment of the Senate President for example. Two-thirds of the Senators must support the impeachment of the Senate President according to section 143 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). Every state of the federation has three senators each while FCT has just one. The Senate is made up of 109 senators meaning the two-thirds plus FCT is 73.

Let's assume the title given to the senator representing FCT is "Mayor" while the remaining 108 are called Senators. For you to impeach the Senate President, the Constitution would have said "at least two-thirds of the Senators and the Mayor" must support. Does this now mean the Mayor must support before the Senate President is impeached? No. It simply means since they're not all called Senators, the Mayor must be carried along. The Mayor shouldn't be omitted. That doesn't mean the Mayor's support would be needed.

In my opinion, if there's no special status given to the senator representing FCT in the removal of the Senate President, then there's no special status given to the FCT in electing the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
