What happens if no one achieves it. Anybody knows?

chinchum:
It is not at least 25% in 2/3rd of 24 states but 36 states.

If Obi likes let him get 50 million votes, he is condemned to failure on that basis. He can not achieve 25% in 24 states. He will fail to achieve 25% in some south west states and will be lucky to achieve 25% in any state in the North.

Runoff off election between top two candidates. The rules remain the same for the runoff election. If nobody wins the runoff then it goes into another unoff election. The sudden death rules only require a simply majority to win.

You can read the constitution yourself. Round 1 and two rules are the same. Sudden death round is a simple majority.



Don't trust guys who don't read the rules.

Kwankwaso thank you for wasting APC votes in the North, Tinubu and his party tried to use Fayose to seek Wike and his group support, he didn't succeed he now using emotional blackmail we understand, Fayose so much understand the dynamics of politics and sure of the political game and couldn't see the unpopular candidate he supported will come third, Obi have brighter chances more than other two major contenders that's why they're after him, PO is major target you guys emotional blackmail will not work, of you guys know Obi will not win ignore him, he isn't the only Igbo on the race, ignore Peter Obi if he is irrelevant

If Obi loses, it would be at least 60% the fault of the 'Obidient' movement.

Highly toxic and spiteful, authoritarian characters.

Many Nigerians who would have ordinarily voted for Obi, are turned off by them and their behaviour.

Abudat:
ignore Peter Obi if he is irrelevant

deNet:
Someone who has already won

I said the 'Obidient' movement are hurting him.
