Hmm. How many times will i school you guys today?

You dont need to get 25% in FCT to be president. FCT is considered a state in the constitution. You just need to have 25% in 24 states, including FCT or not. Then get majority vote across the nation, then you are good to go.

Even going by the screenshot you posted, it shows you dont even know what is 25% of total vote cast. If LP is having 111k votes as the leader, then the second 61k with one LGA to go. it means the total vote cast is not much.


Children just full this forum, reason why i spend more of my time on twitter these days

Modified: Go and read section 299 of the Nigeria constitution which already recognise FCT as a state.

And section 134 of the constitution states that; a candidate will be declared winner of a presidential election if he has:

“(a) he has the majority of votes cast at the election; and (b) 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.


So it means FCT is part of that 24 state required by the constitution to get your 25%, it is not a seperate entity, it is considered a state as stated by section 299.
Simple.

What is the difference between this two statement
1. 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 Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

2. 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.

Ode opomu! You can call for it in your erosion-ravaged enclave. Ewu!

Why are you crying little kid?


A typical behaviour of a spoilt kid


Remind me once INEC calls for Run off

Now runoff

Skyview01:


Haba, why you dey teach urchins how to rig na!

Them no sabi anything

They knew they were rigging at first, leave rivers and rig Abuja

They like to Urchinate

First if they had win Abuja they would have told the rest to go to court

Now Runoff and everybody know APC is rigging

The anger is 2x

CockAndBullStor:
It's 25% in 24 states, including the FCT. This means FCT is considered a state on its own for election purposes, although it's not in the real sense. Logically, the candidate must have 25% in 24 states, whether it's FCT or not.

Itza zimpu stuff ✌️

Remind me if INEC don't call for Runoff little kid

Jamersirwin1971:


So why did they vote in FCT If it won't be counted ? If from what you asking we have 36 states . Why did they allow vote in FCT

Do FCT elect a governor?

yemex04:
You lied, a judge who isnt half baked like you will not turn upside down the interpretation of the province of the Law. For the avoidance of doubt, it is not mandatory that a candidate must win the FCT.. You take everything thrown at you raw

Do we have 36 states or 37?

Firstorderwizard:
I personally consulted my uncle (a retired judge in his 80's) on the interpretation of the constitution.
Mind you He is a member of the 1997/98 constitutional conference that drafted the 1999 constitution.
He said that the FCT 25% clause was added because the President is like the FCT "governor" who now appoints a Minister to run the territory for him.
Therefore, for the President to be the Legitimate head of the FCT, He must have 25% approval of the people in FCT.

Leave urchins to be masturbating on Wike beards

Instead of them to Rig Abuja, They rig Rivers

Without Rivers, They would still win

Misplaced priorities

helinues:


Is Nigeria president president of Abuja?

Even usa electoral college votes, as long you can get 270+ from delegates irrespective of state, you are good to go. No state is mandatory not even Washington DC

There is no electoral college in Nigeria

Constitution say 25% in any 24 states and FCT

That you must have in FCT also


No need for argument
Remind me if INEC don't call for Rerun

helinues:


Lol.

Go and ask your candidate, he should know better

How hard is it to get 25% on the people you want to impose a Minister on them?

This is Democracy not Unitary Govt

Democracy is about the people choosing the person they like if you can't get 25% of thier trust why should you impose a Governor or minister on them

helinues:


And in this case means Abuja as additional not a must..

You guys should stop twisting the law. Even your candidate know better

The law specifically state FCT

It say and FCT

Then it becomes compulsory

How hard is it to get 25% on the people you want to impose a Minister on them?

This is Democracy not Unitary Govt

helinues:


The law is very clear. You can get your 25% in 24 states Abuja included.

Why should Abuja be special when other states in Nigeria is not a must to win?

No it says 25% in two third of the sates and Abuja

Literal Rule word

"AND"

The law did not say including it say And

helinues:


Tyranny?

You guys sometime make use of words you don't understand the meaning. If we are to go by your assertion, 25% would have been mandatory in all the 36 states don't you think?

The constitution if already clear that you need 2/3 for states now Abuja is not a state because they don't elect Governor

Do you feel its okay for the people staying in Abuja to have a Minister or Governor without having at least 25% people have trust in the President that appoint the Minister/Governor?

helinues:


You are the one confusing yourself proving nothing. See the way he turned Nigeria elections to school exams.

What's special about Abuja that a candidate must have 25% there?

Is Abuja a state?

Who is the governor of Abuja?

So you want the President to appoint a Minster/[governor] for people living in Abuja without getting at least 25% of thier trust

Is that not tyranny

helinues:


If all the 36 red apples are not mandatory to eat, why should green apple should special?

You are really confusing yourself
Okay let use exam question

Answer at least 24 out of 36 and number 37

What does it mean?

helinues:


25% votes from 24 states and Abuja. Abuja is a plus to add to 25% as it is not a state. Not aust have there

Use this example

You have 36 Red Apples and 1 Green Apple

They said you can eat 25% of the Red Apple and Green Apple

What does that mean?

helinues:
Abuja is not a state, having 25% in Abuja is a plus but not Mandatory as long as you can get it elsewhere

Moreover, why should getting 25% a must? What's special about Abuja?

You said Abuja is not a state but the law said having 25% in at least 24 states

Are you confused with what you are writing

Is Abuja a state or Not

Do Abuja have Governor?

yarimo:
are you that illiterate? Don't you read where the constitution said highest number of votes cast. Please don't register for JAMB this year, if this is how dull you are in reading comprehension

That's why I'm asking you what did you study


Ask any Law student or friends if the court would ignore section b and use section a

Urchins are illiterate

yarimo:
rub off in your village

What did you study in school?

Section 134 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
(1) A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have be been duly elected, where, there being only two candidates for the election -

(a) he has the majority of votes cast at the election; and

(b) 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.


What do you understand by Section 134 b, Do you understand the English word "AND" the Federal capital Territory

OlawaleBammie:
calm down and listen

In the constitution, the law also take Abuja as a state, making a total of 37states and u have to get 25% spread out of the 37 state. It's not a must that one must get 25% in Abuja ooh

WhizdomXX:

3 out of 6 lgas so far.

Which LGA to be precise .. If its LP Stronghold suppose LGA... thats bad

If it APC LGA that's goood

OlawaleBammie:
the moment u cross the 25state threshold Abuja doesn't matter anymore.

Go and tell Court that one

Constitution state it FCT, It did not state Osun, Lagos or Rivers but FCT

Who is leading in FCT and how many %

No fake news ooo

garfield1:


Shey I told you

Little One I told you Kwankwaso is winning Kano

Meanwhile all this places APC had minimum of 30k 2019

garfield1

garfield1:


And tinubu is winning obi and atiku kid

Who cares about Obi

He had no vote in my pooling unit

Little one
Kwankwaso is winning Kano

garfield1:


Let's wait till then.for now,tinubu is winning boy.rest

Rest you don't have bloc vote

Kwankwaso is wining

garfield1:


He doesnt need bloc votes,he just needs to win atiku and obi in core north.do yo know 15k per lgas is approximately 500k and will cancel anambra? Where will atiku get bloc

He won 5/6 LGA with Avg of 15k
Have you thought of if Atiku wins the remaining 28/29 LGA

garfield1:


Atiku got bloc votes from ss se in 2019

Agreed

Where is Tinubu bloc vote coming from as per if it's KKK forget it

Example here in Kano

Most of us delivered for NNPP

Katsina that I'm seeing

APC is getting avg of 15k per LGA he has won while Buhari was getting avg of 35-40k


Heard LP & PDP is dividing Kaduna


Jigawa is for NNPP.. My Younger bro LGA in Jigawa Senate was won by NNPP

While Presidential Atiku

So where is the bloc vote.. is it SW that gave APC 200K in Ekiti, even heard Atiku is wining in Osun

PHIPEX:
I doubt if any of the KKK states will cross 700k votes this time around.

A very good news for Labour party

Kwankwaso would get more than that

garfield1:


Boy,margin is what matters.tinubu wonekiti by over 100k,buhari won by 70k

Is Buhari from SW

Your region is supposed to give you blok vote

Calm down
APC Is losing

This is how turnout has always been here in the North only difference is BVAS

And Electoral Officers are careful of over voting
