Joseph Mbu, the "lion who tamed the leopard of Port Harcourt" is planning to retire from the Police following Buhari's victory.

Information from the grapevine says Amaechi is already advising Buhari to send Mbu to look after Sambisa forest given his self-acclaimed tough image.

All i expect from him is to humble himself and agree he miscalculated with the southwest politics. With that he may have my forgiveness and earn my respect again.

Article 134 (2) of the Nigerian Constitution stipulates that a presidential candidate will be duly elected after attaining both the highest number of votes cast; and has received at least a quarter of the votes at each of at least two-thirds of all the states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of Abuja. If no candidate satisfies the requirement, a second election will be held between the two leading candidates within seven days from the pronouncement of the result.

Its self explanatory, apart from having the highest number of votes, d winner must garner at least 25% in at least 24 states even if he loses in some of d states.

FOR THE ILLITERATES AMONGST US HERE, LET ME BREAK IT DOWN THE WAY I WILL BREAK IT DOWN FOR A 6 YEAR OLD SWEET GIRL


It will perhaps help you understand the spirit and principle of the rule first.

WHY HAVE THE 25% PROVISION?
In a country as diverse as Nigeria, this policy was put in place to ensure that any leader that is elected enjoys the mandate and support of a large part of Nigeria.

Basically, it is insufficient to have a large number of votes from one part of the country. For example, even if I won 100 million votes from Kano state alone, I would still need to demonstrate that I have support from the rest of Nigeria in addition to the large votes I got from Kano.

I would need to get at least 25% of the vote in 2/3rd of the states in Nigeria.

Nigeria has 36 states today, so I would have to get 25% of the votes in 24 states.

NOTE that I don't need to win the 24 states. I just need to get 25%.

So, to recap, to win the presidency in Nigeria, I need

1. A simple majority of the vote which I could get from a small section of the country (or even one state)

ALSO

2. Demonstrate I have support in a large part of the country by showing that at least 25% of voters in at least each of 24 states supports my candidacy.

A familiar looking man was spotted by our correspodent yesterday at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport with his entourage, desperately trying to book a ticket to Madagascar.

On closer inspection, we were shocked to realize it was Ekiti Governor, Ayo Fayose.

News making the rounds have it that after his scathing Newspaper adverts wishing death on General Buhari, Fayose is stunned by the current trend the results are following. Fearing a Buhari win and subsequent punishment for his libelous adverts, he decided to run away.

We could clearly hear him saying “Eh? Aburo no ticket? Ah. Wahala ti de o. Any standing? Joo fun mi standing, mo like e, mo manage. Ah, no standing? Mo ku. Kosi space ninu cargo hold? I will manage it. Ah my broda epp me……epp me……….if this baba wins, mo ku. The suffrin will not be a small something. Epp me”.

When we approached him he immediately changed his tune. “What? Me? Running away for fear that Buhari will win? Rubbish. I fear no man. I am only going to Madagascar for vacation.Why are you asking why I was begging to stand? I like standing. It’s good exercise”

harbdulrasaq88:
According to the technical ground of the constitution, Buhari of APC must score up to 25% in 1/3-(about 13 states-where GEJ won him), out of the 36 states, before he (Buhari) can be declaired a winner over the incumbent president. So, even if Buhari won most of the states in Nigeria, but if he couldn't win up to 25% votes in the states that GEJ defeated him, the presidential election thus, will be declaired inconclusive, and thus, GEJ of PDP will still emerge as the winner.

In the states in South-East and South- South that GEJ won, did Buhari won up to 25% votes? Let the Notherners start educating their people nowoooo-about what the Nigerian constitution says
based on technical ground, because I know, as soon as they hear that GEJ is announced the president, they will start their senseless killings.

Know it now that on technical ground of the constitution, that Buhari is too
far from becoming the president-inspite of the fact that he is the one leading in most states.

pendusky:
there is a big reason for u to worry coz APC doesn't have 2/3 of the result! Mathematically, PDP might declare winner!

the north created Boko Haram to make GEJ government un-gorvernable, in order to wrestle power from GEJ,then peradventure, Buhari wins,let Nigerians know that Niger Delta should also rise against Buhari and make him restless until he dies of HBP. The Northerners alone are not born to rule Nigerians.
If Buhari wins, Nigerians prepare for another stronger violence in Nigeria.
I am not supporting violence in Nigeria,but this is the true nature of things to happen if Buhari wins.
Even Buhari's certificateless issue on ground is enough to cause uprising after he's sworn in as Nigeria's next president. No one is above the law.all heads are equal.
