Abdul4trust1:
I'll laugh at you tomorrow by God's grace

nothing to laugh at. INEC once declared Ihedioha as winner even when he didn't meet the requirement.

seunmsg:
There is already a judgement of the Supreme Court on this matter and I hope to get my hand on it soon. However, section 299 of the constitution is very clear, FCT is to be treated as a state. Section 299 of the constitution says: “The provisions of this Constitution shall apply to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja as if it were one of the States of the Federation.”

As if it were. Meaning it still retains its FCT status.

The fact that it is still the FCT means that the leading candidate must score 25% in the FCT.

If 299 eradicated it's FCT status then it would be a different matter altogether. Then you'd be correct in saying that the 25% doesn't matter.

misreal:
Please keep them really safe oh..
It will be needed in the court..
I wonder how sane humans will see stuffs like this and still be calling this elections credible..
Supporting tinubu is not a bad thing,but calling this elections credible is a very terrible sin.

Agreed.

Aldol:
If Tinubu your president is mocked then you are all the cause of it. You have been mocking him here, on twitter,Instagram etc so live with it because you attracted the embarrassment

How did they get the pictures of him sleeping? Nor be him dey go sleep for important function.

This is why I don't like agbado media. It's always going to be someone else's fault.

mikelopez:
This is pure open daylight robbery

They can NEVER escape this rigging

The youths are coming for them

It will happen so fast that they will not be able to escape

Massive Nationwide riots loading

Just wait for INEC to announce the results

220,000,000 people and how many soldiers do we have in the arm forces less than 5,000,000.

The security forces can NEVER crush over 220,000,000 Nigerians

Let that sink

Take it easy.

Ceenachi:
They didn't visit Sowore🤣🤣🤣

Injustice every

Because Sowore mum didn't know he was contesting.

stonemasonn:
My brother it has always been so in politics.
If I'm lying ask Imo state governor.

Lol.

Xeeman:
I don't agree with your assertion that religious politics did play down south. Because, if you look at the bar chart of the results, you'll find that each of the candidates are able to secure reasonable votes in the north, unlike in the southeast. Just look at the result of Anambra, enugu for example and compare it with Adamawa or kaduna, you'll see what I'm talking about.

In fact, what I actually see with respect to religous politics is that the southerners and the Christian bodies wanted to fight the so-called Muslim-Muslim tickets but, in reality they ended up helping it.

Also, Kwankwaso is not a looser in this election unlike you thought. He was able to re-establish his base in kano after been betrayed politically by Gov Ganduje.
Joining Obi as a VP would have affected this. Also, it isimportant for you to understand that contesting against the duo of Tinubu and Atiku is not an easy task, thus even if Obi/Kwankwaso have been materialised, there's still no guarantee of success in the Presidential elections. You can agree with me if you add both the results of the two candidates.

💯 Obi and Kwankwaso would never have worked. Being Lord of Kano alone is not enough.

stonemasonn:
It is open to interpretation.

It can simply mean 25% in 23 states + the FCT is acceptable.

Or
2/3rd of all the states + the FCT = 2/3(36+1) which is approximately 25.

Or
2/3×36+1===in this case there'll be a rerun.

Lol. Why is it that it's during election time that the constitution is open for interpretation? 😄😄😄

BloomingDale:
And also the insults. One Tinubu supporter already telling us to go back to Niger Delta with our oil companies. Lol. I told him to shut his dirty mouth.

Lies. He said that? Does he know how much free tax Lagos gets from oil companies like Chevron? 😳

KanwuliaExtra:
OH YES!!!!

I SAY WE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!!

Terrorist.

Ibrahimcoomasie:
Nairalanders like to argue too much.

Yeah because we've never had this happen in 23 years.

Falana is a lawyer that cannot quote an election where the 25% was ignored. As long as there's no case reference then it remains Falana's personal opinion.

DoTheNeedful:
You need to. This argument about the FCT is due to APC's poor performance in Abuja. It was never an argument few days ago, and even in previous presidential elections.

Yup. It is the first time it is happening. History is about to be made.

As for the acceptance of results I don't think that will happen. Not with so much evidence against INEC. It's one thing for the party to rig and its a very different thing for INEC to be caught rigging. Makes me laugh even though it's not a funny matter.

Godwin4444:
read d last 3 lines please

It is as if it is one of the States in Nigeria? 😄

DoTheNeedful:
Some of you are just shopping for victory through every means possible. It is you that would say the election was rigged and should be cancelled. At the same time, you will be the one to say 25% is required in FCT to declare a winner. To make the argument for 25% in FCT, at least, you must first accept the results of the election.

Shopping for victory like Hope Uzodinma? lol. That's on a lighter note.

You don't need to accept the results to either challenge the FCT requirement or the electoral malpractice by INEC themselves. lol.

travelled:
These is a picture history of the FCT election results from 2011.

All declared candidates won 25% of the FCT as shown . Even the runner up won too.

Bros no need for history lessons. Tinubu is the first to score less than 25% in FCT. This drama should be very interesting.

Sonnobax15:
. . Omoh,the kind beating wey jagaban beat both of dem ennn,e come be like say dem lash him wife in the past before . Jagaban just give obi political smack down finish

Smack down? with 2m rigged difference? lol

Sonnobax15:

The way jagaban take dribble Obi and Atiku needs to be studied in the university of Oxford . Maradona dey learn abeg

Lol. That title of Maradona is reserved for IBB. Tinubu just dey share money.🤣

johnmartus:
Wike is more powerful than Rotimi Ameachi.

True.

LegendHero:
Lagos took everybody by surprise.

Obi did not got 25% in any SW states except Lagos so I was off from by prediction by 16% error.

By the way, why calling me bastarddd? I am not a product of baby factory nao Abi you think say I be your brother ni?

Prediction or match fixing?

Ekundayo7574:
Yes I mean it, if that old man win any state from those two region my name should be called Bastard henceforth, Obi will never be president of this county not in my own lifetime the Agenda is Doom to FAIL

bros how fa na

lol

Haylel:
Tinubu is old and fragile!
You think I like him?

I just pointed out the flaw in the obidients' movement.

The naira change, the deployment of soldiers to Lagos, the "trouble in paradise" farce by APC.

I saw through the smoke. They were better at the game, far more experienced, and they won.

Theres no flaw in the Obididients movement. If anything these things you listed boosted the morals of Obidients to come out and vote.

The only offensive counter to rigging is rigging. Ojoro cancel Ojoro. So which flaw in movement are you talking about?

Trollronaldo:
See, it keeps clarifying the English

It's as simple as ABC but no. Agbado media will give their own personal interpretation to the constitution.

No leading aspirant has failed to get 25% in the FCT in 23years. Tinubu is the first.

IamANigerianMan:
Nonsensical , Go and change the Constitution now

😄🤣 . I fear agbado media. They will rewrite Nigerian constitution from under Sagamu bridge. Nigerians make una pray oh.

Lol. Nigeria my Nigeria

kk2027:
They have even said we have 37 states in Nigeria not 36
This abuja 25% na real bad market for them and BAT is the first candiate to be "winning" the so called majority votes without managing to get 25% in FCT.
BAT even that lost his home state, lost Lagos

They forgot Abuja in their plans while focusing of Rivers and other Obi strongholds


Awon olodo

Lol @ 37 states 🤣

kk2027:
They forgot Abuja

Awon olodo

There's not much that they could have done Abuja. That place is locked down for Obi.

They knew and that's why they started their usual media wonderland tales by moonlight cockandbull. That 25% is not required.

blakid:
Hello, sir. People staying in Abuja doesn't have any special abilities to give so much importance that a presidential candidate must attain 25% there.
So long the candidate attain 25% in at least 24 states (Abuja is categorised as "State" in this context), he is good to go. So far, only Tinubu has met this requirements and he also has the highest number of votes. What else do you need.

That's what people say. What does the constitution say?

Metaverse:
The word used is "AND" not "INCLUDING". So, you clearly just referred to yourself as "dumb" and also proved it.

Tinubu Agbado Media wants to form their own constitution

Ruggedniggaone:
All these will change nothing,highest na to go the the supreme Court that overlooked electoral Acts and allowed Lawan to contest despite electoral Acts says otherwise,thiefnubuu will still be declared at the supreme Court and he will rule for 8 good years thanks to obidense movement I be pure Yoruba but thiefnubuu is no no for any sensible person we told you guys with or with no rigging Obi and Atiku contesting in a different party will never defeat rulling party but you no hear,anybody that try to constitute nuisance after election will be killed by soldiers and nothing will happen. The only people I pity are the igbo in Lagos,mc and his boys go do them shege for embarrassing their lord in Lagos

By the fruit of urchins you shall know them
