Mike Igini, INEC resident commissioner had just on Arise TV this morning cleared the air on wether or not 25% votes cast is required in FCT to be declared winner.

Mike Igini posited that even after securing 25% in 24 states already, that the candidate MUST secure 25% equally in FCT, the seat of power, otherwise the candidate is going nowhere!

Say this again without crying. You are invited to victory party in transcorp hotel Abuja.

Buhari nearly failed to get 25% in Abuja in 2019, last minute manipulation saved him. With four strong contestants now and improved electoral process, I don't see APC making it

Was about to ask for the law he is quoting too. 25% of 2/3 state na wetin the law talk

Why not quote the portion of the constitution that surpports this assertion?

Something I am sure Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso cannot get. Obi will get 60% of Abuja vote, the remaining 40% will be share by the muslims

Buhari never used the electoral act 2022.

The new electoral act is different from Bala blum...bulaba.

Obi is the next president of Nigeria

Excerpts from FGN constitution

Section 133
A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected to such office where, being the only candidate nominated for the election -

(a) he has a majority of YES votes over NO votes cast at the election; and

(b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja

Section 134
(1) A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have be been duly elected, where, there being only two candidates for the election -

(a) he has the majority of votes cast at the election; and

(b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

(2) A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected where, there being more than two candidates for the election-

(a) he has the highest number of votes cast at the election;

and

(b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

(3) In a default of a candidate duly elected in accordance with subsection (2) of this section their shall be a second election in accordance with subsection (4) of this section at which the only candidate shall be -

(a) the candidate who scored the highest number of votes at any election held in accordance with the said subsection (2) of this section; and

(b) one among the remaining candidates who has a majority of votes in the highest number of States, so however that where there are more than one candidate with majority of votes in the highest number of States, the candidate among them with the highest total of votes cast at the election shall be the second candidate for the election.

(4) In default of a candidate duly elected under the foregoing subsections, the Independent National Electoral Commission shall within seven days of the result of the election held under the said subsections, arrange for an election between the two candidates and a candidate at such election shall be deemed elected to the office of President if -

(a) he has a majority of votes cast at the election; and

(b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja

(5) In default of a candidate duly elected under subsection (4) of this section, the Independent National Electoral Commission shall, within seven days of the result of the election held under the aforesaid subsection (4), arrange for another election between the two candidates to which the subsection relates and a candidate at such election shall be deemed to have been duly elected to the office of President, if he has a majority of the votes cast at the election.

TLDR: Presidential Candidate needs majority vote + 25% of votes in at least 24 states + 25% of votes in the FCT. The Electoral Act 2022 refers to the Sections 133, 134 and 179 (for governorship candidates) of the 1999 Constitution.

What of politician that will going 90% in Abuja

Check the wordings again. The law never said you must have at 25% of vote cast in the FCT to be declared winner. At least, 25% in 2/3 of states and the FCT, is not the same as at least, 25% in FCT and 2/3 of 36 states.

I doubt if Tinubu can get up to 75,000 votes in FCT. He should step down for OBI now
