PointB:
So why is INEC not conducting Governorship Election for the FCT, if it's a state?

It’s administered by a president through a minister like a state and they have a senator too

after the declaration, they can go to court for proper schooling, doesn't stop anything.

The reason FCT was specifically mentioned is to cure a situation where somebody will have 25% in 23 states and in Abuja. Abuja is technically not a state because it does not function exactly as a state does but has however be confirmed with the status of a state by the constitution. If Abuja was not mentioned, people would have argued that 25% in Abuja does not count as part of the 24 states.
So, to cure this, the constitution had to specifically mention Abuja to let us know that Abuja can be counted as part of the 24 states for the 25% requirement. What it then means is that if a candidate got 25% in 23 states as well as in Abuja, that candidate is assumed to have gotten 25% in 24 states and as such, met the 25% requirement.

Section 299 of the constitution says that for the purpose of interpretation of the Constitution, the FCT is regarded as a State.

The implication is that:

The FCT is a State but given a name.

Since the FCT is given a name by the drafts men, it won't be right to say 37 states.

However, the name is 36 States and the FCT. It simply means 37 states.

Tinubu has met the requirements.

The court has affirmed that position and the constitution is clear.

Yes. BVAS only stops overvoting and underage voting.

To rig, you just need to delay uploading of the result and adjust the numbers. Basically what has occurred in this elections. There's no revolution here. We just won't see crazy numbers from the north anymore . Corruption continues.

that itself is a revolution bro

there won't have been need for this but the aso rock cabal may not be done yet

Parachoko:
With how horrible Buhari performed as the president, I thought he won't agree to makimg BVAS compulsory for accreditation.

Thank God Obi left the PDP.

Even if the G5 and Kwankwaso worked for Atiku in this election, the APC will still defeat the PDP if Obi is also participating in the election.

Obi finish PDP Pata Pata


Even if Alhaji Atiku Abubakar forgive the G5 and Kwankwaso, I doubt he can ever forgive Obi. Obi is the only reason Atiku lost this election

Atiku now becomes a permanent resident of dubai

Parachoko:
just imagine the amount of votes political parties would have been churning out from their strongholds without BVAS

The total votes in this election would have been more than 50 miliion.

Tinubu, Atiku and Obi will have at least 10 million votes each.

It's obvious why the APC itself was against bvas initially but it's the same bvas they used against the pdp in the osun tribunal court.

That Osun matter scared everybody. There's still rigging though but you can't rig above the number bvas has recorded. And I like how they state the bvas accredited number at the collation centres before the announcement of results from each state or LG. That's a masterstroke

Bvas is a revolution, Obi owes Buhari a thank you visit, Bvas made him a phenomenon

AwkaFinest:
BORNO PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION RESULT.

APC : 252,282
PDP : 190921
NNPP: 4,636

bvas is the hero of this election. People say it's Obi but it's actually bvas

No one can sit down in his house and write results any longer

JohnBullMySon:
Igbos have never voted for an Igbo president before this election but you keep on saying they are tribal. APGA has been having presidential candidates but no one votes them. Obi was voted because the Igbos believed he had a chance not necessarily due to tribe.

Obi was an Igbo project packaged by endsars. The endsars was what made Obi chances brighter as endars cut across tribal lines. Nothing else would have powered Obi campaign. Another thing that also powered Obi hopes was Tinubu as APC candidate, the enemies of Tinubu from also rock to within the APC itself was another driver

The requirements has been met, make una find another excuse

Buckeyemedia1:
Cc Goke7, 100% True, Labor Party, ext of Pdp, ie Peter Obi, Ahmed Datti, Doyin Okupe Just to mention a few, way too numerous pdp runaways waste my time on.

that's why they can easily have a joint press conference, if either of them had won, both parties would have been very happy, in fact all the elected representatives of LP would have crossed over to pdp to suppress APC off as an opposition.

LP was an optional attempt by pdp to dislodge APC. If you know you know

Backpedal:
That's not true

alright, let's see what becomes of Labour in the next one year

TheOldGods:
bro, from which state? They have almost called all. The least is coming second. Unless court nullifies some states like Lagos ekiti, kogi, Benue, rivers, akwa ibom then yes we can have that chance. Omo, LP tried abeg. A party within 6 months. It's not easy

party within six months? na pdp just shift base abeg

see confusion, pdp now speaking for Labour

Bvas it shall be well with you o

awon endsars part 2, las las una go dey alright

oga no stress, we are waiting for your relocation to Ghana

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Obi had over 1m in Anambra

bvas said no

Godwin4444:
I told u that everything obi will get in total lead in anambra, imo n delta will never b up to 1.5 million

Look at it now

The whole anambra with all the noise is 500k votes

N non existent in about 10 core northern states

He won’t get 25% in 24 states for sure n he won’t even have majority vote whereas tinubu have gotten 25% in 26 states n he’s currently leading in vote count

bvas don run everybody streets

Felabrity:
joke, what about the K states?

They didn't allow most people to vote in the east

The K states are not reporting huge figures like before.

Bvas don expose everybody. Thank God for the Osun election tribunal, Politicians were too careful about rigging in this election

But for bvas, Anambra would have declared 1million for Obi

Bvas is a revolution

Iamgrey5:
In whole of the Election only Southeast looks like a rigged election with a single candidate getting 90% of the results.

It's very questionable.

it's rigging actually, If LP go to court to challenge this election, they will be exposed, hence all the excuses now

deji17:
Tinubu will have a minimum of 25% in at least 28 states.

if not more, the losers are aware already, na all manner of excuses dem just they find

reddingtonblack:
Abuja is not a state becos it is the only territory in Nigeria presided by a MINISTER.

Abuja is not a state that is why behind FC, you have "T" that stands for territory (FCT) while others bear "states"

A state is a sovereign territory with an elected leader by the residence of that territory.

Was the FCT minister appointed or Elected ?? the answer settles it.

The reason FCT was specifically mentioned is to cure a situation where somebody will have 25% in 23 states and in Abuja. Abuja is technically not a state because it does not function exactly as a state does but has however be confirmed with the status of a state by the constitution. If Abuja was not mentioned, people would have argued that 25% in Abuja does not count as part of the 24 states.

FreedomfromtheT:
I don't know how true your claims are. The uploading should have been done immediately after the voting and counting. The delay gives room for suspicion that something is fishy. However, it is never late to do the right thing.
The intimidation of voters who do not intend voting for a particular party which is viral and the seeming silence from the security agencies is another thing
Let those that win win clearly and magnanimously and let those that lose lose clearly and gallantly.

Delay can never be an excuse to truncate the process, people should cross check the results uploaded with the signed copy with the agents

maestroferddi:
Bring it on...

Tinubu didn't get up to 200k votes in Lagos while Peter Obi's mere less 600k votes is a joke,..

Ogbeñi we will finish you guys alive with irrefutable bodies of evidence if we are to settle it in the courts...

You guys have lost this even in court you will loose, na social media noise Una Dey make

maestroferddi:
There is no looking oga...

We are talking about the spirit and letters of the Constitution.

Tinubu is about the only "leading" candidate to fall short of meeting 25% of votes cast in Abuja...

It is without doubt a major legal hurdle...

Get your legal team ready...

They will floor you guys and even expose your fake votes. They have all the evidence already.

FatherOfJesus:
If INEC declares winner, it will be contested in court.

That's the point, INEC cannot declare winner with respect to that part of the constitution

Labour Party rigging machinery will be exposed in court. Are you guys ready

Those looking for a rerun will be disappointed

Tinubu has met the legal requirements.

Results are being uploaded as we speak

Make Una find another reason o time Dey go

yusfatedeeprof:
Stop being ignorant. The law is clear as daylight.

The law says that the states you can get your 25% from is inclusive of Abuja not that you have to get 25% from Abuja, lol.

For example you were only able to meet 25% in 24 states out of 36 states, if you get 25% in Abuja you are clear.

But if you already have your 25% in 25 states of the federation Abuja is as good as useless. The law is clear and devoid of ambiguity, no dey confuse yourself

They are looking for a new reason to cancel elections no mind them

Is Abuja now the new reason to cancel elections?

Wonders shall never end
