Abuja is the president's constituency

Which case in 2008 did the Supreme Court said that having 25% in Abuja is compulsory in a Presidential Election?

I’m looking for this too now because Datti hinted at it when he said “it has already been decided” in his interview yesterday

Can’t find it as of yet but it does seem the ruling might exist. If it does exist then it should be a slam dunk case

Shagari had less than 10% in Lagos but was still declared the winner of that year election

Well, is a waste of time arguing

Some people like you argued and even cursed me when I told them INEC will declare Asiwaju the President Elect of Nigeria without having 25% in Abuja.

Abuja does not matter, in the eye of the law is a state.

A candidate need at least 25% of the vote in 24 out of the 37 state. Asiwaju have 25% and above in 30 State.

Has Nigeria 37 states? Was Lagos an FCT? it was just nigerian capital not a Fed Cap territory as Abuja. That was why Lagos then had a Governor but Abuja has none.

Did I mention any 2008 case?
