Misterone:
winning the election by someone you said is sick and toxic with MM ticket is a big statement

Obrigardo:


You didn't have to refer to a group of people like that. There are better words you could use.

It's sad that nairaland moderators have essentially taken a break.

This should warrant your account and IP ban but I'm sorry that the mods might not take action.

Egoat:

Actually the court ruled in support of 12 and not 13 and it's reason Shehu Shagari won the case. Your claims are flawed.

Egoat:

Point is that.
Popular opinion has it that one needs to win 25% in 2/3 of the 36 states abi? And the 2/3 of 36 states is 24.
If FCT is recognized as a state then 2/3 of 37 states is 24.6 which is not a whole number.
Then it's possibly safe to say 2/3 of 36 states and FCT is 25 states and not 24 states as commonly believed.

Lol

OSŪS thought winning Lagos and Abuja is enough for you to be sworn in as president


I'm so happy God put them to shame

searchlight:
As much as i know there is no winner so far. Unless you are talking about president of yorumuslims

Neoteny7:
Chai!

Falana why?

You've just shredded the last hope of the obidiotz.

What would the zombies do now?

Yell Biafra again as they've been doing for the past 40 years?

The language is a very big mockery. The question of whether fct is a state or not shouldn't even be an issue here.
If that language is directly translated to Latin, then it means fct is a compulsory 25%.

25% in 24 states and fct( mentioning a name suggest it is not an option)
You must pot all balls and black ball to win a pool contest. ( The black ball is compulsory)

25% in 25 states (when you translate this, it appears exactly what it is)

Nigeria will not write the constitution of Nigeria becos of some people want Peter Obi to win at all cost and these is not the 1st election Nigeria as held,

It is a known fact that 2/3 of 36states in Nigeria is 24 long before today, so there is nothing any over zealous supporters can do that will change that. 24.6 is invalid cos no state can count as 00.6 hence the 24

GOTVee:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, I will like to use this opportunity to thank my fellow Nigerian Christians for voting massively for the candidate with the Muslim/Muslim ticket. This election has proven that we Christians and our Muslim brothers are one. Peter Obi tried to divide us by running a religious campaign but we Christians stood our ground and rejected him. May God continue to bless we Christians and Muslims for bringing this renewed Hope to our great country

Gilgil:
There is no ambiguity here. Its simple English. You need to meet 3 requirements to become Nigerian President Elect on the first ballot:

1. Majority votes nationwide
2. 25% in 24 states
3. 25% in FCT

E.g. To pass GRE, you need to score 310 and above (here meaning majority votes) with 160 in Verbal reasoning (25% in 24 states) AND quantitative reasoning (25% in FCT)

It means you must score 310, then 160 minimum in the subjects mentioned. If you score 200 in verbal and 120 in quantitative, and vice versa, you have failed.

Nadheer15:
No, Awolowo wanted the 12 and the courts ruled for 13.

GeneralPula:


Tinubu already got 25% across 24 states requirements..

Had it been tinubu had 25% in 23 states, and still didn’t make 25% in FCT, then it means he didn’t get the 25% in 24 states requirements, and their will be a rerun..

If tinubu had 25% in 23 states and make 25% in FCT, then it means he has met the 25% in 24 states requirements..

If tinubu had 25% in 24 states, and didn’t make 25% in FCT, then it means he has met 25% in 24 states requirements as well.. ( This is is situation exactly )

So 25% is not a must to win in FCT. But if you have 25% in FCT, Inec would add it to the states you met 25% requirements..

That’s how it is..

Tinubu is the incoming president elected. He has fulfilled the requirements as par the constitution. So any other thing is secondary.

Misterone:
this is what they have failed to realize. It has happened before when there was an argument for ⅔of 19 states. Then the supreme court said it was 12 because human beings are whole and you cannot divide them.

OLADD:
My friend., I am Yoruba by tribe. Tinubu has not met all the required tenets of the law to become president. HE MUST SCORE 25% IN FCT to be declared president.

ElSudani:


What the law says basically is that, for example if you score 25% of 23 states and also in the FCT you also have 25% then you have met the constitutional requirement. Also if you score 25% in 24 other states it doesn't matter whether or not you have 25% in the FCT, you have also met the requirements.
The FCT would only count as a state for the purpose of the election.

Was he among the drafters of the electoral act to know the full intent of that confusing clause ?

We need the supreme court to interpret this

zanebaddo:
You don't need to win but you must secure 25% Tinubu supporters ronu ooooo

Egoat:

Firstly, Shagari won this same election in 1983
Exactly something like this. 12 states out of 19.
Secondly, even if a runoff is declared, Obi isn't the runner up. That's my fear. Rerun would be between Atiku and Tinubu.
