The 25% Simple Analogy by Vado2: 2:07pm On Mar 24, 2023 |
For everyone who is asking whether F.C.T. will be significant and what sense it will make if someone wins all the states but fails to receives at least 25% in F.C.T. Will you be admitted with your SSCE score if you receive all A's but fail to get at least a C6 in mathematics? 16 Likes |

Brother I will like to ask you few questions 1. What makes 25% in Abuja more important than other state. 2. Does people in Abuja more quality than people in other state, that makes there vote have value than other states 3. Why would you include English and mathematics to this (a) it is believed if you can't pass English that was used to asked the questions, how did you read and pass the exam. It is required that any student in Nigeria know basic English I know many people hate Tinubu for personal reasons but that doesn't mean the hatred you block our eyes from seeing the truth.

Vado2:Your analogy is unreasonable and myopic. English and Mathematics have special status in our education system. It was copied from our colonial master education system. Is Abuja residence have special status in our constitution and where did we copied it from? 14 Likes 2 Shares |

agemmy113: Is English or mathematics any different from other subjects, and what makes them special? Simply put, Abuja is the seat of power. It is believed that if you can’t pass English that was used to ask the questions, how did you read and pass the exam?? How about Mathematics??

Wrong. 25% in 24 states and Abuja. Because Abuja is not a state, it would have been listed as part of the states,so getting 25% in Abuja is additional.You can get your 25% in other 24 states without Abuja. Where in the world are they using state capital winning to determine the winner What's special about Abuja that 25% is a must there? 3 Likes |

muykem: Whenever u want to air ur opinion,don't rubbish others because I am sure u don't know that this matter of 25% in Abuja is just going to serve as a reference as the case has been settled in 2008 by the same supreme Court,where it was made compulsory at that time that a candidate must win Abuja before he or she u can be declared. Now,what is myopic about his write up? u can go and check the supreme Court judgement on this same matter. Buhari vs Yar'adua in 2008. U don't know why APC especially Tinubu and Co aren't happy with Obi and his case against them. If Tinubu escapes this,he can't escape the drug case at all.

Zico5: That’s why I had to break it down to your level. Abuja is the Federal capital territory. The FCT is not like an ordinary state. Please educate yourself The FCT is not a state, it does not have a state legislature, and its residents do not elect state-level representatives. The FCT is governed by a minister appointed by the president. According to straightforward reasoning, the minister is appointed by proxy, and the President serves as the de facto governor of the FCT. How are you able to rule over those who didn't choose you?

The FCT has not state governor rather the president is the governor but usually appoints FCT minister to act on his behalf. If the president does not have 25% in Abuja, it means he is very unpopular to be imposed on them. Abuja is a compulsory question agemmy113: 1 Like |
Re: The 25% Simple Analogy by TechGallery: 9:08pm On Mar 24, 2023 |
What then happens if a candidate wins all the 36 States but can't get 25% from FCT? A rerun? How? So the whole country will start election all over again in all the 36 States because of the failure of getting 25% from FCT? The law must be insane to have such interpretation. If rerun is declared from court, that means a popular candidate from FCT can contest tomorrow for the position of president just to cause stalemate in the election. As long as he can win 80% votes from Abuja, it's certain the first election will be cancelled and rerun declared every time such case repeats itself in the future. There is no logic in that. Comparing this to WAEC exam instruction also cannot work. It is stated clearly by the examination and admission bodies that English and Mathematics are more important subjects to all students unlike this election case. There is no where in Nigeria Constitution that states FCT is more important than other states of the federation. No amendment attaches priority or preference to FCT. I am very sure this point cannot fly in court. It is just unnecessary political "misyarn" from the concerned parties. 1 Like |

Re: The 25% Simple Analogy by Vado2: 9:19pm On Mar 24, 2023 |
TechGallery: The Constitution makes it quite explicit that you need to receive 25% in 2/3rd number of states AND the Federal Capital Territory, which emphasizes the significance. The President chooses a minister-level administrator because He, the president doubles as the de facto governor of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). In an SSCE result, the FCT is just as unique as English or mathematics. It doesn't matter how many A’s you obtain; if you receive an F9 in English or Mathematics, you must retake the full examination; the same applies here. |

agemmy113:Sorry to answer your questions with question. Look at this analogy: In a secondary school, condition for promotion to the next class is for a Student to have at least 25% in 2/3 of all his subjects and English.
