It should be obvious to anyone that has any functional matter between their ears that FCT is merely the 37th State!
We understand the reason why a President needed to secure 25% in two-third of the States in the country….for national spread of the Mandate but Why on Earth must the President secure 25% in FCT…..to serve what purpose?
Is it a must that people from ALL parts of Nigeria should reside or have a presence in the FCT because it is the Capital?
So, if Yoruba people choose not to troop into FCT as others who are used to migrating have done, should that disqualify them from aspiring to the Presidency if they can still garner the requisite 25% of two-third of the States in the rest of the Federation?
FCT is considered a State in the Constitution. Hence, the President must have 25% of 37 States. He does not have to win it, neither does he have to get 25% in FCT. End of Story!

Abuja wasn't considered as 37th state. Show us evidence rather the supreme Court says it is separate and that Yar'adua won in Abuja.

OBJ won FCT with 49.9% and PMB was a distant second with 38% and OBJ won the Presidential, how did FCT become a conflict requiring litigation?

It is necessary because of the lopsided distribution of States. The south east has been shortchanged and has fewer States than others and so a person whose base is in the south east has the short end of the stick already. But with the fct which contrary to what you say, must indeed be populated by federal civil servants selected by federal character , every tribe is adequately represented almost equally by virtue of that federal character . So it neutralises the effect of the lopsided distribution of States, and acts as a real test of the popularity of rhe candidate across the nation.

Can you share the link to the judgement or file. I have been looking for it but yet to find it. Besides, if that was really the case, would it have been included as part of the petition again?

Election result is not thesame as Election petition

Yes Obasanjo won many states......even securing more votes than the total number of registered voters like Ogun State.

One of the prayers of the petitioners was exactly that Obasanjo should not be declared president because he did not receive 25 percent of votes cast in two-thirds of the States of the Federation and Federal Capital Territory, Abuja as required by the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria."

-"those who see courts as a continuation of campaigns are setting selves up for heartbreak'' - Very deep

Peter Obi's petition is more like telling the court that:

'' Look i am here to reclaim my mandate even though i know i never won the election. I checked everywhere for evidence of rigging; we had our own independent collation, Tinubu still won. We even checked inside INEC server, we found nothing like rigging. So this is More like i am here to retrieve the mandate that was never stolen.

Please my Lord, Nullify the whole election that cost the country 400Billion naira because the winner failed to get 25% in FCT, even though he had the majority votes and won the highest state". And also i am hearing rumours that he is a druglord, please disqualify the 1st position, and proclaim me, that came distance 3rd, not even the 2nd but me the 3rd position and that even failed to secure 25% in 24 states; the rightful winner. Or just disqualify the winner entirely and set another election of another 400bn taxpayers money between me and the second position, Atiku Abubakar. Lets have a 3rd position-man vs 2nd position-man presidential election.


How can someone suddenly change mouth from 'the election was rigged, i won.

TO
the winner didnt make 25% in FCT so Cancel the whole election and lets start again.

Peter Obi is frying the brains of obidients, rendering them bra!nless and they dont even know. He is surely playing games with their empty skulls. A game of staying relevant. Man just want to always be in the news and remain relevant till 2027, when it is time for another election.

Try to rest you stupid and foolish person. If you continue in this lane, I guarantee that you'll go mad very soon. Your suffering is already guaranteed.

You dumb o no be small, as at March 1st US and UK mission in Nigeria have congratulated Tinubu. If they were not authorized by their respective Government do you think they would have.

Who is Biden, a dementia man addressing his VP as his wife, shaking empty space, when Obama visited the white house everyone forgot about Biden and were rushing to meet Barack Obama. He has lost his regard in the Asian and African parts of the world... Who Biden help, who sabi am? Who needs his co congratulatory messages?

Is the FCT established for Federal Civil Servants only? Is it only “Civil Servants” that vote in an election? What about the millions of the self-employed and professional people living in FCT….do they live there Only on the basis of your so-called “federal character”?
Again, what is this talk of lopsided distribution of States? …..who says the Regions must have equal number of States?
If the population and land mass of the SE does not justify six or seven States, must States simply be created just for ethnic balancing?
Sorry, your argument simply doesn’t hold water!

Easterners will say they are enlightened but they are so backwards like, I go just dey laff, do they think with thier anus, Supporting a paticular candidate election in the US when the so called Trump never even make a statement to support thier cause.
They believe too much in social media propaganda of thier fake and dumb bloggers, and they can share that rubbish and stand on it as if it is the truth and you will imagine that even one person among them should deny such fake news and correct the others, both thier University graduates and illiterate just sleep and faced one place.

What will Biden congratulations do for Naija? You guys can be myopic. That's how Ibru and so people organized dinner for Obama to raise money, and stupid Nigerians contributed. Where is the money? Some opposed Trump saying he would depot all blacks, did he depot them? While the SE supported Trump saying he would grant them Biafra. Has he granted them the Biafra? Nigeria is sovereign entity. USA and others cannot impose candidate on Nigeria. Worst they can do is sanction. Abacha showed the world that Naija can survive with sanctions. Nigeria and Nigerians in Naija need better education, better teacher to improve their level of reasoning etc.


I'm trying not to call you mumu. What makes Abuja residents special that they will be the one to determine presidency? Are those residents more Nigerian than you and I? This is a case of semantic. The lawyers know that, however, they need to make money. They will tell their clients they have a chance.

Most of these people are dunce. This is even clearly stated in Section 299 of constitution where it clearly said Abuja should always be treated as one of the states of the federation, which in essence is the 37th and as such should not have any special considerations for election purposes. In other words, not getting 25% votes shouldn't stop you from being President. I've attached that section.

When you guys see a fail course, you commit hard and dig deeper.

Again, FCT was not a contentious in that Election, I read through the Supreme Court opinion you posted, it was only alleged OBJ did not win the Election and they use the constitution word of “25% and FCT”, it would be foolish to allege that OBJ won, otherwise why go to the court?

In 2003, OBJ got 25% and above from 33 States and he also got 49.9% from FCT, making it 34.

So he got 25% from 2/3 of states and FCT as required by the constitution.

That said, I am not in anyway stating that FCT is not regarded as a state when it come of the rendering of the constitution as it pertain to Presidential Election, my position is that the Supreme Court has not answered or render their interpretation on this particular section of the constitution when it comes to Presidential and they will have the opportunity to do so now and it could end up either, though I believe they will side with the defendants and call FCT a state.

It must not kano a state has 44 LGA, imo state has 27 LGA that does make imo not to be a state.. If we go by u thought all state must also have same LGA.. And same size, same population etc.. Some things varying does not change what the constitution has designated it as which is FCT is like other states.. No advantage..

😂 You are comedian. The constitution specify that no matter the landmass number of LGA or population that each state is entitled to 3 senators with FCT an exception. By landmass fct is bigger than Lagos, Anambra, imo, ebonyi and abia. So your argument holds no water. How many times was the word Kano mentioned in the constitution and compare it with the number of times FCT was mentioned.

Your argument is baseless and not substantial. First the constitution doesn't recognize geopolitical zones. They where created just for political exigences. Nothing stop a rearrangement that puts Benue in south east and move kaduna to north central.

My argument is about states and the inequity in sharing them. Imagine if obis base if se and ss had 7 states each. That would obviously increase his state tally . State inequity not zone inequity

Obi and Atiku case at the tribunal is similar to the two women case during the reign of king Solomon. The woman who knew her baby died accepted that the living baby should be cut into 2. How can a sensible contestant asked that this election should be cancelled and another conducted.

You that is not a comedian did not see that that same constitution made FCT a Special status of a state. Special means that it has certain things different from normal state.. You this clown go to school.. Dunce

Kano lagos doesn't need to be mentioned because they are covered by the word state. FcT on the other hand is a special state so it has to be more defined as those thing that makes it special has to be clearly spelt out.. OLODO
