This isn’t about party but the interpretation of the constitution. I think tinubu should start getting ready

Bobloco:
Why is Tinubu, his minions and the APC eternally afraid of Peter obi and the labour party

Funny people, if 25% in FCT is determinants of who becomes President, it like nailing their coffin because north will make sure no southerners ever get 25% in FCT till the end of ages. Either today or tomorrow Aso rock is getting far from children of anger and hatred.

Psady:
should we go and bring back Maurice Iwu ,maybe then we have a transparent election?

I told some guys here about a week ago that the section 299 that Tinubu lawyers and supporters are hinging on to argue that the FCT is just another state in Nigeria, only referred to the administration of the territory and did not preclude the place of the FCT as one of the provisions that must be satisfied before a presidential candidate is declared.

They argued with me then, but I’m happy to see my argument incorporated by Obi lawyers in their written address in response to Tinubu and Shettima at the tribunal.

Questions for determination:

1) If the FCT is a state (in the sense canvassed for by Tinubu lawyers and supporters) why was there no governorship election in the territory on March 18, 2023 when the rest of Nigerian states had their gubernatorial elections except for those whose election have been staggered?

2) In the 1979 constitution, the condition that a presidential candidate must satisfy before being declared a winner was to “get highest number of votes cast and 25% in 2/3 of the states of the federation.” No mention was made of the FCT which was Lagos then. The question therefore is, if it was not intended that a presidential candidate must score 25% in the FCT, why was that provision attached in the 1999 constitution? Why didn’t the requirement just end with “… and score 25% of votes cast in 2/3 of the states of federation as it was in the 1979 constitution?

3) Because the FCT has no elected governor or mayor, the president appoints a minister who administers the territory on his behalf. Does it not make sense therefore, that man who will appoint the administrator for this territory MUST have at least 25% approval of indigenes and residents of the territory?

The truth is that like is popularly said, the law is a bitch. It cares not about your sentiments and biases, it will serve justice by letters and spirit of the law.

Tinubu did not satisfy the constitutional provision to be declared a winner which makes his declaration null and void.

They keep trying to twist this lol

Tinubu is the only "president" that has failed to score 25% in Abuja

He also lost in his home state Osun and he equally lost in the Lagos he claimed he built

How exactly did Tinubu win?
He miraculously won in his opponents strongholds

What a miracle

Ramaphosa released yesterday that Putin have agreed not to come, court order today...
No country on earth can arrest Putin, even Biden know this...

Anything that is subsidised on a large scale in Nigeria will most certainly become enmeshed in mumenetal corruption, like fuel subsidy.

The subsidy won't get to those who need it.

However, the government can immediately remove import duty on solar panels, and remove other obstacles to their importation so the price can be cheaper.

Widespread adoption of solar and the entire value chain will create tens of thousands of jobs across the country.

It is an easy win, but Nigerian policy makers just won't see it.
We are producing cars in Nigeria and the govermnent is not patronizing it, why can't we produced solar panels here? Must we continue in this economic slavery for ever?
