English comprehension is hard to the pessimists .
Even if Sen. Tinubu had scored more, they will come up with other flimsy excuses .
When lawyers opposes other lawyers ,what do laymen do?

Jogs1900:

Supreme Court will disappoint Obedients..
1999 constitution is an offshoot of 1979 constitution...In the 1979 constitution when Lagos was FCT, Lagos voters were not given any privilege. The votes were the same as votes casted in other states.

Well I know Supreme Court will agree with Osunbor at the end of the day, but I can tell you for a fact that Obedients will still disagree with The Supreme Court and simply claim Tinubu bought them over.

I am not a fan of Tinubu but Obedients need to pause and reason logically and be objective.

PROF SHOULD NOT PLAY GOD. THE CONSTITUTION SAYS WHAT IT SAYS. WE CANNOT GO INTO THE MINDS OF THE WRITERS TO DISCOVER WHAT THEY MEAN. IT IS NOT OUR FAULT THAT THE WORDING IS IMPRECISE THEREBY GIVING RISE TO THE CURRENT MEANING WHICH WAS CONFIRMED BY SUPREME COURT IN THE PAST. IF YOU WISH TO REWORD IT THEN AN AMENDMENT IS REQUIRED AND THAT IS CARRIED OUT BY THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY NOT A COURT OF LAW.

Thought you would have learnt your lesson by now, you ipobians will never change, nonsense Perennial Losers.

Tinubu who sponsored Yoruba Nation/Oduduwa Republic agitators to blackmail Arewa to hand power over to him, will lose always.
Sunday Igboho, the leader of Oduduwa Republic agitators has consistently declared that Tinubu is his mentor.
Supporters of Tinubu waved Oduduwa Republic flags in London's Chatham House in support of Tinubu as he spoke inside the house.

Tinubu had since declared he doesn't believe in one Nigeria, just as Femi Fani-Kayode, the Spokesman of Tinubu campaign declared that he doesn't believe in one Nigeria.

They want Obi to be declared winner cos he won Lagos and Abuja (1 SW State and FCT) but lost all other geopolitical zones apart from SE while the man that won 4 SW states and got constitutional spread, still secured highest votes should be robbed of his victory because of FCT. Laughable.

the law should have been 25% in two third of all states in the federation including the fct instead of and the fct. The supreme Court Justices are corrupt, I fear for atiku and pdp

Your wording may still be misconstrued to mean that the FCT is part of the 36 states. The total count is 37, not 36. That was the intent of the way it was worded.

PS: I'm neither a politician nor a fan of any of them. I'm just trying to be objective.

You guys are truly headless.

Resorts to insulting because you can't dispute what I wrote.
We are not like Tinubu supporters who are senseless. Only senseless persons support an octogenarian and obviously mentally handicapped man with a baggage of drug trafficking offences, to become president of a country in the 21st century.
You will suffer more than me if Tinubu becomes president of Nigeria.

Dont mind them if they can say its Tinubu account that was charged for drug and not Tinubu what else do you expect,. They want to Rigg Nigeria constitution

Here's a very simple way to quickly end the argument.
Just ask them:

"What is ⅔ of 36 states and FTC? Give me a number"

The argument will quickly end!

Because the answer is 24 states and FTC!
That, or there is no whole-number answer!

In other word, zombidents are saying a candidate must have 25% in Awka before he can be declared as a winner in gubernatorial election in Anambra state even if he wins in other places in the state?
When has the vote in Awka more important than the one in Agulu?

Or someone has to have 25% in Ikeja to be declared a governor in Lagos state?

No wonder Soludo called them headless mob.

You're only deceiving your self and being on a delusional hope, Abuja residents have equal rights of citizenship with other Nigerians in different states. Hence, it's equivalent to others and can't be given special preference above other states in Nigeria. So it's an effort in futility for OBI and LP. Tinubu will rule this country till 2027.

IT CAN BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT IS THE GOVERNOR OF FCT SO THEY ARE SPECIAL. IN ADDITION A PRECEDENT HAS BEEN SET, AND THE ELECTION HAS BEEN CONDUCTED BASED ON THAT RULE. CHANGING IT IS TANTAMOUNT TO CHANGING THE GOAL POST AFTER THE MATCH HAS BEEN PLAYED, NOT EVEN WHILE IT IS GOING ON.

If it needs no debate, why not leave the matter for the judges to decide in stead of using party stalwarts and media to manipulate the decision of the court?

A law professor for that matter.

Lol what makes you think the Court can be influenced by these people sharing their opinions? In any case, people across both sides have been sharing opinions since, starting with Aondoaka who is of the opposite view. Did you complain then? Let's not be hypocritical.

(Since you are insisting FTC is a state, that gives us 37 states. So your job is to give us ⅔ if 37!)

you lack basic understanding of English grammar. Go and work on your lexis and structure. Môron!

Bros, you don't need to insult me o, but if that gives you some sense of fulfilment in life, feel free. It's a faceless forum.

By the way, English is one subject I have never failed in my life. I did IELTS and got 8.5 out of a possible 9. I no try?

Actually, the problem is that people refuse to be objective once the reality does not align with their narrative.

This guy's interpretation is really funny.

Make APC dey play. Let them not go and start preparing for rerun, like their internal memos have suggested. Let them continue petting Baba blue.
When Tribunal sacks them, them go dey alright.

Stop expecting a rerun

It won't happen

The election was conclusive

Forget about the 25% FCT nonsense

Configuration of Nigeria state has always been 36states and FCT. If you asked primary school pupils the number of states in Nigeria, the answer will be 36 states and FCT.
5A and 5B=5A+5B, they can not be added because A and B are the not same but if A=B, the equation then becomes
5A and 5A=10A
The equation above also applies to section 34 and 299 of our constitution
Section 34 says 2/3 of 36 states and FCT
Section 299 says for the provisions of this constitution FCT is the same as state
Section 34 then becomes 2/3 of 36 states and 1state =2/3of 37states
