Your mind is telling you that Tinubu will never be president. Listen to your inner mind

backbone503:


Rerun how? Constitutionally, to be declared winner, a candidate has to secure 1/3 (25%) of valid votes cast in 2/3 (24) states of the federation. To the best of my knowledge, Asiwaju has fulfiled these conditions. Brace up for a Tinubu led APC Federal govt. I pray God grants him the love, wisdom and all he'll need to pilot the affairs of this great nation.

Let's us be calm until the winner is announced.

If dem refuse make God use dem we go let devil use us...

Make the arm forces order for more ammunitions because "dem go kill us tire"


He lose his home, lose his adopted home and lose the FCT una wan make us believe sey na him win election... Where in the history of Nigeria has that ever happened?

Oga, talk for yourself only.

worried222:
It’s more than 20% but less than 25% I don’t know if this will be enough to force a rerun. I have given up on Nigeria.

when did this whole 25% rubbish started??

Roboto11:
Mumu people including Agbakoba.

So a candidate would be so popular in Abuja and Abuja alone such that he gets 90% vote.

Those that won across the country would now embark on a runoff simply because of this reason and this makes sense to reasonable people?

Of course. You can't just assemble illiterates in the villages and use them to win.

sat70:

Including the FCT only meant FCT is also a state. No law says you must compulsory have 25% in the FCT

Lol. Let's be specific and quote relevant laws:

Section 299: The provisions of this Constitution shall apply to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja as if it were one of the States of the Federation; and accordingly -

(a) all the legislative powers, the executive powers and the judicial powers vested in the House of Assembly, the Governor of a State and in the courts of a State shall, respectively, vest in the National Assembly, the President of the Federation and in the courts which by virtue of the foregoing provisions are courts established for the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja;

(b) all the powers referred to in paragraph (a) of this section shall be exercised in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution; and

(c) the provisions of this Constitution pertaining to the matters aforesaid shall be read with such modifications and adaptations as may be reasonably necessary to bring them into conformity with the provisions of this section

If you see the bolded you'll see the correct terminology: as if it were a state. Now Section 134 predates Section 299 and there's no point of reference linking them.

When I say point of reference I mean words like "subject to section 299 or subject to 134" These words are supposed to link the sections to each other.

Jokay07:
Is 25% in FCT mandatory?
LoLzz.

Yes, it is mandatory, if INEC announces any of Atiku or Tunibu as the winner of this election it will be unconstitutional because it is stated in the Constitution that for a candidate to be duly elected, he must secure two-thirds of the vote across the federation AND THE FCT.

WINNING THE FCT IS AND(EMPHASIS ON AND) WHICH MEANS IT IS COMPULSORY

a Nairaland lady with moniker DKM123 will be giving free sex if obi wins. I pray Obi wins so I'll Bleep her pussy

The law says 2/3 of the states and Abuja....and means getting in Abuja

Ologbo147:
Is there any law that states that if a presidential candidate does not get up to 25% of the total vote cast in Abuja, even if the candidate got 25% of the total vote cast in 2/3 of the states in the country, the person will not be sworn in?

vicdom:

Oga it's less than 20%, do the maths nah

20.1%

Tareq1105:


There's no rerun anywhere. It's straight win by simple majority after scoring 25% in 25 states.

There is a challenge here. The president must also have 25% of the FCT...It is a banana 🍌 peel

OlawaleBammie:
if e tru nko??

It's still insignificant..


Oh sorry, it was rigged as popular claim

of course it was rigged. That is why we told our people to stay away. Biafra is the only solution. Next time when Simon Ekpa tells them to sit at home, they will listen. I am so happy Tinubu rigged the election. The only way forward is civil disobedience. No police nor army will kill anyone for that.

Correct! It's really simple. All those who don't agree never quote the law because they never read it!!!

Tell your APC to post the dashboard in their situation room.

kingsways:
Lagos and Abuja represents the diversity of Nigeria

Obi is the winner of the election

Ode Le leyi

maybe it's even Tinubu that advice buhari to send soldiers to lagos to curb violence when he's declare winner of the election but everybody including Reno omokri thought it's to stop Tinubu from buying votes

Nbote:
And yet Aduda wanted the legislative elections wanted cancelled because he lost out .

These politicians are way ahead of us. They foresaw an EndSars ProMax protest in the aftermath of Tinubu win and sent in Soldiers and here we were thinking it was to curb electoral violence and ballot snatching. They gave wins to the people in the major hotspot Lagos and Abuja as a distraction while reducing the margin to the barest minimum so they can make up for it in other states..

TrumpDonald2:

and if dey refuse to what will u do??

OfficialAPCNig:
Tinubu fails to get 25% in FCT

Doesn't matter. If he has up to 25% in 25 states and highest vote numbers, all which he has, He is the winner

LordAdam16:


I don't think there will be a run off.

No President has failed to get 25% in the FCT. So this legal dispute has never cropped up before. But the Courts can interpret it any way they choose. Since the Tinubu camp seems to hold sway in the Judiciary, they should get a favorable disposition. He got 25%+ in more than 25 states.

That said, if some states are canceled, we might head to a run off, regardless of judgment.

Unfortunately, the law is also not clear on who goes to runoff. The Aso Rock cabal and powerful Northern and Southern interests will want it to be between APC and PDP. But the APC camp will want it to be between APC and LP. Obi will sweep the South and part of NC, but the core North will vote Tinubu en masse. Not even Atiku can convince them to vote Obi. That's when you'll start seeing 1.5m votes from each Northern state, although the South can play that game as well.

-Lord

I've never seen a submission this intelligent and free of bias in Nairaland

We don't care who win for now. All we care is results from our polling units be uploaded to verify the accuracy at from the polling units to the state level.

Veezy4u:
it will be difficult but INEC should beg Nigerians for forgiveness and for the sake of justice follow stipulated proceedings n ensure people who didn't vote get the chance to vote, put massive Military presence n ensure a proper secret ballot system so everyone votes his preferred candidates without fear of being attacked, it's not too much to ask. For all the monies spent they should have done better.The mother of #Endsars is cooking.End #badgovernment #endinec [/b]

I ask what forgiveness, for a blunder? Nigerians cannot go blundering and asking for forgiveness. Such behavior is anti-progress. Nigeria cannot grow beyond what we had just experienced three days ago as presently configured therefore I sue for unconditional disintegration.

google the phrase civil disobedience.

Agunesinjaweola:
All of a sudden, the Labour Party candidate in the forthcoming Governorship election in Lagos State has added CHINEDU to his name. The CHINEDU he was hiding before last Saturday's presidential election. Isn't this a dangerous ethnic politics?
