Lifestone:
How do you address previous supreme court cases that have decided that 25% is needed in FCT

losprince:
I'm a developer, how do I contact you?

43Ronin:
I have told you guys many times that Nigeria is a huge slave market.

Lifewasgood:
Op, I put it to you that you're a criminal. If not you won't have any problem with the extraditions since those being extradited have been indicted for various crimes.

Do the crime, pay the time.

Obi actually won the election, lets be honest

He won SE and SS hands down, he won NC, he won Lagos with about 1million votes, he won Abuja, he won Plateau with over 1 million votes, he won in many areas of Bauchi and other northern states. Most of his northern votes were completely robbed.

If APC knew they have done so well, why didnt they allow a free and fair election so Nigerians can re-elect them

Remind me why the results were not transmitted electronically again

In the middle of bvas, we relapsed to the old way rigging

Tell emilokan to rule naija no be force

Tinubu that lost woefully in Osun or Lagos was miraculously winning in opponents strongholds, no be juju?

Was Buhari your President? Did you ever accept that? Your non-acceptance did not stop him from serving his 8 years.

9gerian:
It might be better to pursue a legal redress in court, channeling the anger to build a water tight case.

The alienation of Buhari led to a full blown insurgency in the southeast eventually. That insurgency has cost the southeast innocent lives and untold hardship, and became too difficult to reign in.

Doing same with Tinubu would dampen and frustrate whatever initiatives the president-elect may have for the southeast, and is likely to cause more setbacks to the region. This would only further alienate other parts of Nigeria against the southeast, thereby shutting the door to future collaborations to wrest power from the current handlers and beneficiaries. The North and other regions are watching and would easily take sides accordingly, especially because they (North) are the votes-and-spread-deciding block in Nigeria.

Above all, it is definitely your (southeast) call. However, it is always better to be subtle and project well ahead in strategy. Thankfully, Tinubu doesn’t come across as being vindictive with his leadership style, hence the southeast can benefit from his government and still go for a legal pursuit, which is more favorable to the southeast course than an outright affront or confrontation to a constituted government.

LocalStandard1:
I don't know if the post about Falana saying 25% in the FCT is not requirement is true but if it is then someone needs to go back to school real fast and immediately.

The law says a candidate will be said to win "if they get 25 percent in two third of the States and the FCT.

"two third of 36 is equivalent to 24 states." But the FCT is mandatory cause it is not a State, it was never a State but a federal government territory. The and word is not an optional word but a mandatory additional "conjunction"(note the keyword). "Father and Mother, not Father or mother.

Nobody says "37 States" but "36 States and the FCT"!

If the law says something most happen in all 36 States and the FCT, it simply means the FCT is mandatory, not an option. Same as 24 states and the FCT. If I say "bring me 24 apples and the green one", you do not bring 30 apples and say the extra numbers substitute the green one. You don't! This is law, it's also simple English. And English and the law doesn't bend over night to suit one person, I think.

The real question is who goes to run-off now that all the candidates have fallen short of the lawful requirements, yet all three have still met two of three requirements?

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.

Lanretoye:
Go to tribunal and stop behaving like illiterate,since election is considered as rigged if it doesn't favor some people.

ejifranks:
Fire starts with just a spark and then it rages and if not controlled , even the heavens feels it's anger. INEC must do the right thing NOW and quit this charade and fraud immediately.

OmoFiditi:
About 150,000 signatures have been garnered against Wike to revoke his visas to advanced countries, so that he cannot run away from the mess he put himself into after the elections.

Mindlog:
"Nyesom Wike is the only governor that has offended everyone"...….🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shameless bigot. Shame on you! Tell your abominable governor to shun rigging and allow the masses he has plunged to poverty to have a voice for once. Unfortunately you and wike are criminals of the same feather
