He was declared fraudulently after bribing the inec chairman who happen to be his boy... Tinubu have Neva aquired anything legally in his life. All he have is through illegitimate means.... The drugie is old and sick.. he needs to go n rest....

While igbos were busy selling in their shops we stayed glued to the TV watching the election tribunal process live, each state has their state representative, two of them bring forth their state result and announced it LG by LG while a soft copy is being broadcasted for all to read and follow up as the reps read their result, each state result were already added and winner clearly written on them, inec chairman and inec staff with many observer were there, people had writing materials with which each state result was written down and added together with other state, I wondered why obedients insist inec chairman just announced a winner determined by himself without following due process, I now realize the did not watch the proceedings because they were busy selling rice or beans or spare parts etc, because if they had watched it they will realise that it is impossible for INEC to change figures because the hard copy of the result is with the party agent and many observer there and people were able to verify what the party agents read out is what was counted to determine the election winner, Peter Obi is bound to lose in court because all the decisions makers are all aware of what really happened, the Judge will judge based on facts and not emotions.

It never occurred to them that anyone can "win" the presidential poll and yet be unable to get a measly 25% in FCT!

Probably. And that is how it has been since 1999. No president elect has failed to get at least a 25% in the FCT.
This tinubu case, I see it as a divine trap. Tinubu, yakubu and their gang have done everything humanly possible to rig the elections. Somehow mysteriously they are unable to get the minimum requirement of the FCT which is in the constitution.
I see it as a divine trap to ensure he is not sworn in as president. The other prayers will open and expose the rigging that took place, which will usher in the authentic winner of the presidential election.

Look at! And you think you're normal? We do not yet have a president elect by the constitution, come may 29th, watch and see if "someone" would be sworn in. We day here now. If you know you know.

He is very right about that. Why would any right thinking person will think that, simply, because you're living in FCT your vote carries better weight than those living in other states.

Stop this nonsense. The constitution says that Abuja should be treated as any other state when it involves constitutional matters. The "and" is inclusive not "additional" This is settled law and some of us have been.in practice for 40 odd years. There are already several cases on this point.

Unlike the US Nigeria does not run an electoral college. Are you saying if someone won one state and Abuja he would win the election if his opponent won 34 states without Abuja? Come on.

I have always wondered why Obi filed such a weak petition. I can only surmise that he wants to play the "we were robbed" card in order to catalyse and hold his base together over the next four years.

Even he has gone quiet.

What does your Constitution say about the % of VOTES that a candidate needs to get from FCT and NOT whether you have practiced law for 40-odd years? I am NOT a lawyer in Nigeria and NOT sure what your law is on that. I posed a question based on what Mr. Olisa Agbakoba said in one of his interviews on Arise TV.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse in-law, he doesn’t owe ignorant people any explanation.

His message was not intended for your consumption, but directed to the Appeals Court, not the oblivious ignorant wailers on social media, devoid of awareness about the laws of the Federation of Nigeria.

They are just looking for ways to destroy Nigeria. They are not after the existence of Nigeria as a nation.

As I have always said, Buhari and the APC cabals created this crisis. I am sure IBB, Abdulsalam and other Northern leaders and radicals will clear this mess.

In mid and late 90s during Abacha regime, my late dad told me what is happening in Abuja now. The Gwaris - Abuja native indigene will wake up one day.

Only fools will make 25% mandatory in Abuja to become President. Those people that own about 90% of the major hotels and businesses with high population of their kinsmen will now determine who scores 25% in Abuja.

I think in US, if 25% is mandatory in Washington, then 25% should be mandatory in New York. Other Federating States should also seek to make 25% mandatory in their States thereby creating crisis.

What the developers and traders are doing by invasion of cities with political or economic advantage is that they want to create crisis that will end Nigeria.

So they want to make voters in Abuja more valuable than voters anywhere in Nigeria. Is that possible? They want to push people into agitation, but I am sure they are bunch of fools.

If you took the time to read and understand what I wrote your response would be unnecessary. The key expression is " ...and the FCT" and I addressed that. I also expressly said that Nigeria does not run an electoral college. Let me break it down for you.

Section 299 of the Constitution expressly provides that the provisions of the Constitution shall apply to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja as if it were one of the States of the Federation. Section 299 of the Constitution has received the judicial imprimatur of the full panel of the Supreme Court in FAWEHINMI & ORS v. BABANGIDA & ORS (2003) LPELR-1255 (SC).

The matter is settled. Abuja is a just another state for the purposes of the Presidential election. It would not ordinarily count as a state as it has no governor or house of assembly. But the Constitution says it should be treated as a state...as any other state.

I expected Obi to attempt to show that irregularities led to a substantially different result that would necessitate a re run. He didn't. No doubt because he can see that the results posted on irev and the collation numbers are in substantial conformity.

Obi is blowing smoke as usual. The king of vague and bland.

Why not base your argument on what Falana said about the Supreme Court judgement and the constitution.

Assuming it's in the law that 25percent in FCT is compulsory to be declared a winner which is not, are you not suppose to fight it, obedients don't ever look into the future, the same way igbo blocked every avenue for self determination by individual tribe in Nigeria and it has now turn around to hunt you because you are now the one in desperate need of self determination asking for Biafra, igbo also facilitates the scraping of regional government which is now a disadvantage to them, all for selfish reasons, this same law if it stand I'm sure an igbo presidential candidate in future may be hindered by it because I see a clear situation of when power finally rotates back to the south igbos will be given a chance, does it mean if the opponent of the igbo presidential candidate win only three states and FCT, the opponent should be declared winner because he won FCT? because the court will refer to Tinubus case if Tinubu is not sworn in because of the 25percent rule. Think

Then you should have advocated that only Abuja residents should vote for presidency





No matter how una turn the CONSTITUTION you cannot do anything about the "AND". That word is very terrible in that constitution.

Some analyst were trying to use "WITH" but you cannot put a word that is not there just to favour a drug Baron.

I understand and respect your opinion. But I need you to think about why all of the aforementioned are called and referred to as "States" bar the FCT.

I'm not claiming to be right just trying to exercise my brain jare...

I'm good with however the court interprets it.
😁😎

The constitution can not encourage discrimination... U get.. We are all try to understand each other. Bro no worries here

But they constitution also said fct should be treated as one of the states of tge federation.. If it is so then aboja cant be treated differently..

True, a valid question because it's in the constitution, I guess those drafting it didn't think hard enough for this kind of scenario. So let him battle with the courts on that.

However logically speaking he has a point, Abuja votes shouldn't be special, imagine if the people's choice and not INEC selection won without Abuja? Would we now say Atiku or obi shouldn't be sworn in because of tiny Abuja?

Again the truth is the president is not safe in a Capitol where he's not welcomed, his death can be easily planned hence that clause in the constitution. It's a give and take thing.

Think deeply about this sir.
Can a candidate govern a state when he actually did not win that state?

Do you know that the president is automatically the governor of FCT? In case you don't know, this is the very reason why it is very important for a candidate to win the FCT.


If the above is carefully answered then you will see why the constitution said "AND" the FCT.
The word AND has only made it worst. No SAN can change that!
