BluntCrazeMan:
WHAT EXACTLY DID THE ELECTORAL ACT SAY ABOUT THE ELECTION RESULTS.??

***(This piece might be very long, but then, if you really need more insight about the electronic transmission wahalla, and what the Electoral Act really says about it, then you have to try and read through to the end..)

I am going to be dropping the quotes, with little comments after them.



For those that would argue that the INEC Guidelines are not recognised by the Electoral Act.., the Section-148 had provided answers to that argument.

Even though the INEC Guidelines should not override the Electoral Act,, but then, wherever the Electoral Act give powers to the “Commission”, then the words that are contained inside the “INEC Guidelines” and “Manuals” would become the Authentic Law with respect to those sections where the Electoral Act gave powers to the Commission..

---

Refer back to Section-148..
The “INEC Guidelines” fully prescribed the manner for the “Transmission” of the results. Inside the INEC Guidelines, the INEC made it very clear that they developed a system known as the “Collation Support and Result Verification System” (CSRVS), in order facilitate the “TRANSMISSION” of Results and Accreditation Data.

It should be made very clear at this point; that the Online Results-Viewing Portal (IREV) is just the platform for the public to view the supposed Polling-Units Results that were uploaded to the online viewing portal,, AND NOT THE REQUIRED PLATFORM WHICH THE INEC DEDICATED FOR THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION AND COLLATION AND VERIFICATION OF RESULTS, AS POINTED OUT INSIDE THE ELECTORAL ACT.

The platform for the E-transmission and E-collation as required by the Electoral Act is the CSRVS, and not really the IREV.




The Commission, as referred to in this Act, is the INEC.

Refer back to Section-148..
The INEC fully prescribed the manner for the “Transfer” of the results (including the “transfer” of the total number of accredited voters) inside the INEC Guidelines.



Take note of the word “Deliver” in the Section-62(1); which is totally different from the word “Transfer” which was used in Section-60(5)..

***(This might be the ONLY part of the Electoral Act which the INEC-Chairman read, and believed that the Electoral Act provided for ONLY the Manual Delivery of the Results)..

Also note that the Electoral Act also didn't expressly dictate the exact methods of collation to be deployed.
But then, no matter the method of Collation used,, Section-64 should be checks-and-balances tool which must be applied.
And there is a strong penalty for violating Section-64.


NOW, LET US TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT SECTION-64..


A result -- According to Section-64(9) -- is regarded as “False Result” if it didn't follow the procedures specified in Section-64(6)-(a-to-d).. -- which is, Electronic Transmission and Collation, and Verification.




Going by Section-65(1):
It simply means that the returning officer can upturn the decisions of the Presiding Officer, or those of the collation officers if -- within the review period -- there were errors which the returning officer had corrected.











I PURPOSELY DID NOT DROP ANY QUOTES FROM THE “INEC GUIDELINES”..
SO THAT WE WON'T CONFUSE OURSELVES..

ALL THE QUOTES WHICH I HAVE DROPPED HERE ARE ALL QUOTED ENTIRELY FROM THE ELECTORAL ACT OF 2022.

Add this one also

I wonder how INEC want to Appeal itself in court

Faber:


U no even read the document, you be confirm werey, this was before the election assuring Nigerians they will use electronic transmission...

Your shame dey shame me a swear

I wonder how they want to defend it in court

waynetee:


But it make sense to not have 25% in other states and impose ministers on them right?

What are you mean about that lol?

You already told me the difference between this

Have 25% in 24 States out of 36 and FCT
Have 25% in 24 States out of 36 and THE FCT

The first one is FCT is among the 24 states, the 2nd one is FCT should be treated as a special staus

Remind me if INEC don't call Runoff little kid

waynetee:


Including is not there, that would have been a different sentence

Ask any Professor in English to tell you the definition of the two statement

Basically you don't need to win FCT, Just have 25%

How hard is it?

waynetee:


I've checked it. To be honest it is obvious fct is not a state, so that The is permitted. But is later stated that it should be treated as such nonetheless(state) so that takes us back to sentence number one literally

Don't confuse yourself

FCT is a state that don't elect a Governor... the presiden impose a Minister on them

In democracy you need to be the people choice even tho you are rigging it

You can't have 1% in FCT and impose a Minister for them when they are yet to accept you

That is not democracy

That is why the statement THE FCT and not 25% in 24 States and FCT

waynetee:


May i see that second sentence in the constitution?

Have you seen and come to a conclusion

Ibrahimcoomasie:

Peter Obi is not known in the Core north.

Peter Obi snatched votes from Atiku in the south.

They could have won, if they weren't divided.

If result were transmitted live ... PO would see 25% in more states

waynetee:


May i see that second sentence in the constitution?

https://jurist.ng/constitution/sec-134

That is where APC lose this election on first balot

There is difference when it says have 25% on 24 States and FCT , Have 25% on 24 States and THE FCT

waynetee:


The first sentence :
When you say ``Jesus is my lord and Savior ``
In this case my Lord is also my savior.

SO fct is also a state!

The second sentence is not correct! Go and ask any English major.

If you claim fct is not treated as a state then we should have something like "have 25% in both fct and 24 states" since they are different entity.

You say it's not correct but its the sentence that's on the constitution which is this

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.

or constitution sentence is not correct according to a Prof like you

I agree with your first explanation tho 100%

No betrayal at all

Main due to the lack of structure in core rural areas & rigging

Sannisege:
So if a candidate has majority number of votes and 25% in all the 36 state but fails to get 25% only in the FCT, so the candidate won't be declared winner? Una dey joke. Asiwaju is here.

Little kid, calm your nerves and explain the statement

1.Have 25% in 24 States out of 36 and FCT
2. Have 25% in 24 States out of 36 and THE FCT

waynetee:


Why are the clinching to the fantasy that those who voted in abuja are special when they are not... All the government officials sef voted in in their various states.
Abuja is even less important than the rest of the states, the constitution just try to merge it up to state standards.

Forget all these, its a fool's game!

Explain this two sentence for ease

Have 25% in 24 States out of 36 and FCT
Have 25% in 24 States out of 36 and THE FCT

[quote author=yarimo post=121361986][/quote]

If you are subject to Section 134 you still need to explain this sub-section

Have 25% in 24 States out of 36 and FCT
Have 25% in 24 States out of 36 and THE FCT

English might be too hard for some people

Who can explain these two statements to us assuming FCT [ This is an assumption]?

1. Have 25% in 24 States out of 36 and FCT
2. Have 25% in 24 States out of 36 and THE FCT

Sannisege:
So you think APC doesn't know that they don't require 25% in Abuja. Wait until BAT is declared winner later tonight.

Can you explain this two statements to me

1. Have 25% in 24 States out of 36 and FCT
2. Have 25% in 24 States out of 36 and THE FCT

LegendHero:


Yes that’s how it is.

I’ll remind you. Except if INEC wants to call runoff between the two losers Obi and Atiku.

Be calm and remind me little kid

Buhari4sale:



You sound like a semi illiterate from...

Remind me this if INEC don't call runoff

LegendHero:


For the sake of 25% requirement, it is a state.

—So if you get 25% in 23 states and the FCT, you will still be declared winner.
—If you get 25% in 24 states without the FCT, you will still be declared winner.

Remind me if INEC don't call a Runoff

For the sake of 25% requirement, it is a state, and For what sake is Abuja not a state because a state needs a Governor and not a Minister like Ministry

LegendHero:


You believe if Abuja is that important for a candidate to be declared elected you wouldn’t have known all these years? You believe if that is the case, Tinubu and Atiku wouldn’t have fight to the last breath to take that percentage in Abuja? Dey play.

Most of you Obidient don kolomental. You waste too much time on irrelevances.

You better go and use sleeping pills and take a rest.

Is Abuja a State?

meum:
ChatGPT isn’t the Nigerian constitution. What does the 1999 constitution say?

ChatGPT feeds from multiple information sources available online. It is a robot.

That's chatGPT interpreting the result for urchins

Abfinest007:
am an obidient but I think tinubu doesn't need 25 percent of fct if it can get it else where bcuz Abuja is considered as a "state".I stand to be corrected if am wrong

Ask you self if FCT have Governor

So if FCT gave a President 1% and he won in the rest states

He can impose a Minister for them

Is that democracy?

That is Unitary Government

The people will need to be considered that's why the constitution state "AND" FCT

If not it would have just said 25% in all the state of the federation

Biggest mistake for APC is forgetting to rig Abuja

There was no need to even rig Rivers

Without Rivers state votes

APC would have still won

If they use those resources on Abuja, there would be nothing like you need 25% or blah bla bla [Misinterpreatation of the Constitution]

Why 25% in Abuja is compulsory is it just because we are in a Democratic regime

If Abuja elects its own Governor that's different but the President impose a Minister on them

Imagine a President getting just 5% and imposing a Minster for them [That's not Democracy]

helinues:


Is any state in Nigeria a must to win? Is winning ones home state a must?

Why should getting 25% in Abuja a must when other states don't have such

That's why he needs 25% in each state

This means even tho 75% in that state don't trust or like the President, 25% are okay with the President

if Abuja elect its own Governor its different but their Governor or per say Minister is imposed on them whether they like the president or not

That's why the President needs at least 25% in Abuja also....

helinues:


Your question is confusing

Calm down and read it again

Abuja don't elect Governors but a minister is appointed

If at least 25% of the total population of the people staying in Abuja don't trust the President to appoint a minister for them is that democracy?

IVORY2009:


The President of the country

Is it possible a President appoint a Minister for a state without getting at least 25% trust of the people staying in that state?

IVORY2009:
No governor for Federal Capital (Abuja) but Minister for FCT

Who appoints the Minister for FCT?

helinues:
Na goal post shifting..

Even if you caught pree.k in those people's mouth, they must find a way of calling it kuku agbado

Question they should be asking themselves

Can Sanwo olu be the Governor of Lagos without getting 25% LGA

Now if Lagos does not have a Governor but a Minister

Why should the person that appointing the minister not get at least 25%

I'm surprised to see people since morning saying we have 37 states?

Who is the governor of Abuja

For you to be a governor of any state in Nigeria you need 25% first in all the LGA of that state

Imagine a President winning the 36 States even with 100% but ending up getting 10% of Abuja

How can he appoint a Minister [let's assume a Governor] for Abuja when it's against the will of the people of Abuja


Someone should give me Happy pill

Look at the prompt

APC mainly areas

OmoFiditi:
The votes for SE and SS go heavy gan. People were still queueing as at 1 am yesterday morning.

In Kano only 859,000 people were accredited to vote out of 6 million.

Votes from Anambra might exceed 1.5 million.. In Rivers, up to 2.5 million votes are expected. Delta up to 1million, and we know who owns those votes..

Traditional politicians who believe in the status will learn seriously.

A lot of my Rivers vote would be cancelled

At least 3-7 LGA would be canceled, I'm sure because of Wike

Except he just gave BAT 26-28% if its more than that 10 LGA may be cancelled because of widespread violence and reports

A lot of report and it goes against Electoral Act
