Lol, and how it is most important to win only 25% in Abuja to validate 25% won in 24 other state…Total madness.

OBI people are real crazy people finding loopholes in the constitution to seize power through the back door. How can a state capital, not even a state be more powerful than 24 states combined.

SenatePresdo:


Go and ask WAEC how English language take get two head, for them to say you must pass it before you pass your WAEC.

If you get 8 A's in WAEC and fail English, you failed.

English language is to WAEC what FCT is to Presidential Election, una go dey alright Las Las

The key phrase, "And the FCT"

If FCT is a state, why would they have to add the conjunction, and?

They gave it an exclusivity, hence the And

We are waiting for them!!

PointB:


Let's even for the sake of argument say that the constitution recognise FCT as a state , the AND on it's own is a conjunction. It says whatever else you might have achieved in the election you need to obtain 25% vote cast in FCT. Whether FCT is a state or Capital Territory is, for the purpose of the conjunctive clause, immaterial.

I see no way out for Tinubu in the case, unless their is a miscarriage of justice.

SmartPolician:
That FCT 25% NONSENSE sounds absurd to me. FCT is often separated from the 36 states because it's a territory, not a state (they cannot call it 37 states). However, as far as the election is concerned, FCT is like every other state in the country.

BTW, if Peter Obi is hoping to use that as basis to upturn Tinubu's sham victory, then I am afraid he has no case against the Druggie because it won't work.

Mindlog:


In real life, if one had 8 As and failed English language......that 8 As need to be investigated, how you take read pass those subjects?🤔

Skiming247:
If u need two-third of the boys and girls in a class for a task, including a girl in that team become compulsory and not optional

buharitill2023:
you're right,
Fct is not compulsory

IVORY2009:



The problem with INEC is that they don't listen, two highly respected legal personality in the country Mike and Olisa had told them ahead of time about the 25% issue but they kept mute, now the matter is before the court, less see how they would go about this.

SenatePresdo:


"Including"

hohafrank:
Shame on you that you can't comprehend.

wegevv:


This statement is idiotic. The constitution is the constitution. Let me show you:

If someone wins FCT and 22 states they still won't win first ballot. Even if they won more than 2 times the vote of the next person. How can the remaining 14 states be more powerful than the 22 states and FCT? Because the bloody constitution says so lol

Go and fight the constitution lol

A pass result in WASC or NECO requires 5 credits , INCLUDING English and Maths.

Anything short of this cannot be used to gain admission into any university in Nigeria.

Those who made the constitution of Nigeria (military appointees) viewed FCT as a cosmopolitan area and the nation's capital, and hence decided to make it mandatory to get 25% in the FCT as part of the constitutional requirement.

INEC's lawyers did not properly inform their people and that's why they did not effect their rigging machinery in the FCT. It will come back to bite them later.

Here comes Doctrine of Necessity Part 2.

webosky:


Child of hate, don't spread hate, the constitution says so, why hating?

SenatePresdo:


So what's the difference?

You used An Adjective twice in a sentence.

MikeofAfrica:


They have use layman language to explain this issue to you.

Our law state that for you to gain admission to the university, you must have credit in 5 subjects and English language.

Hence if you have 8 credits and fail English , you will be denied admission because English language was specifically mentioned as a condition that must be met before gaining admission.

In this case, FCT was specifically mentioned. A candidate has to get 25% in the FCT after getting 25% in 2/3 of the states of the Federation.

The reason for this is that the FCT has no Governor. Hence the President appoints a minister that act as the Governor of FCT.

Hence if the president does not get 25% in FCT, then he has no right to appoint the minister of FCT . In other words, such a person should not have been declared the president in the first place.

RexTramadol1:



Waec categorically put Maths and English as Compulsory Subjects.


Is there anything as 25% in FCT is compulsory in the constitution? No.


Just conjunction. It’s a watery ground.

MyMouth:

Hate kill you there!

MT:


You can only compare like for like. Apple and Mango are fruits but quite different.

Why comparing WAEC to Nigeria constitution? Is that how you do modelling in programming?

Whenever there is ambiguity in our laws, it is ONLY the court that can interprete that section of the law. Just wait for the Supreme Court to determine this.

Sheggy13:

Two-third there is a quantifier not technically an adjective. Both sentences are different.

If you have nothing intelligent to say why not just read comments.

How waec take put math n eng as compulsory subject abi na ur course of study for uni, poly dey decide compulsory subject.

buharitill2023:
if you say 24 states including fct,
That means you only need to have 25% in 24 State,
For example,
Make 5 credit including maths and English,

buharitill2023:
the constitution did not say so,
The constitution actually said 24 states and 2/3 of fct.
That is less than 25 states,

SenatePresdo:
This exactly what will throw this country into and avoidable Flow of blood.

If they dare to overlook the Constitution of FCT 25%.

We are patiently waiting for the court, the tension don over mature.

Na spark we dey wait for.
