The lawyers using this as example are either daft or just mischievous. In your own case, I believe that's how you understand it. However, the section in question does not mention 36 states. It simply states that '25% in 2/3 of the STATES AND THE FCT. This is different from your analogy of credit in 4 subjects and English Language. In your example, four subjects are mentioned before English language (a subject too) and that makes the total of 5 subjects. In the case of the constitution, it states ...IN 2/3 OF THE STATES AND THE FCT.

Abuja is a territory which is not among the Nigerian states. It is a territory under the federal government. If you want to be sincere with yourself, you know Nigeria has 36 states and the FCT (which has to be mentioned because it is part of Nigeria territory together with the states). Anywhere Nigeria's states are mentioned FCT will also be added using the conjunction AND. If you mention 36 states of Nigeria without mentioning AND FCT, Abuja, it means you are omitting it from Nigerian territory.

In a nutshell, '25% in 2/3 of the states and the FCT' simply means 25% in 2/3 of the Nigeria's whole territory (36 states and the FCT'). If your own interpretation would be what is meant in the constitution, then the phrase would have definitely be put in this way....25% in 2/3 of the states AND IN the FCT.

AND IN THE FCT would have shown clearly that the contestant needs 25% in 2/3 of the states and 25% in the FCT.

In conclusion, ...THE STATES AND THE FCT as it is put in the constitution simply refers to entirety of Nigeria (all the states and the remaining territory called FCT). This is different from '4 subjects and English Language'. English language is also a subject and that means you need credit in five subjects which must include English Language.
Bros....did you see anything concerning fct in the question?
Answer the question if you can that's all.

Your question was wrongly concieved in the 1st place

Admission to university states, interest applicant must have 5 credit including maths and english.

i would have uploaded it for you but NL no gree me upload.

The purposes of having 5 credits is not to sum up, which is contrarory to what election moves are, election is a computation of highest total votes in the highest number of states
without addition the election can not be determined that is what concieved "and" which denotes "+", ask your maths teacher

Sir, I asked a question, but you didn't understand it.

FCT IS A PROPERTY OF 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES.
THE QUALIFICATION FOR MINIMUM REPRESENTATION IS A VOTE OF FCT DIVIDED BY 144, WHICH IS 25%, 25 OVER 100 OR 1 OVER 4 OF THE TOTAL VOTES OF FCT DIVIDED BY 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES.
IT IS 1/4 × VOTES/36 WHICH IS VOTES/144.
TINUBU HAS MORE THAN THIS, SO TINUBU IS THE ALL ROUND WINNER.

Once the Justice system fails and the Constitution is abandoned then it is over.

Re: Answer This Question If You Understand English Language by Darayola(m): 11:02am On Apr 15, 2023
My question is simple and I want a simple and unambiguous answer.

- Is FCT stated among the list of states of the federation in the Constitution?

- Does FCT has a Governor?

- Is the emergence of FCT leader by Election or Appointment?

Interpreting law in a lame man way will only end you up in jail. The only way you can view this and to easily clear your skull is to reason thus; a particular state has 36lgas and one of the LGA houses the governor's office. Must the running governor wins the particular lga where the government office is situated before he could be declared a winner? Is the LGA different from other LGAs in the state because it houses the governor's office?

Until you are able to interpret the law like this, you will forever remains a perpetual crying baby.

Good day
.
To be declared winner, a governorship candidate must not only get the highest number of votes, he must also win at least one-quarter of total votes cast in two-thirds of all the local government areas in the state.
The law is so clear on that but quite controversial in presidential...
Literally the Grammar is self explanatory and this is where the lacuna exist that Obi legal team is trying to exploit.
Every law has it's weak point just like the case of Hakim wife seeking to have more than half of his husband property in court.
In this case, the law is vulnerably weak to act.
But Naija is not Oyibo where laws are interpreted tentatively with their Grammar that's y there are still controversy surrounding the position of law in this 25% vote of state drama.
In a saner country, Tinubu is a goner

There should be a better explanation for this. How can a party get 25% spread vote across 28 states but fail to have 25% in Abuja?

Let's put into consideration,Abuja is a center of Unity i.e it's home to all tribes,religion and culture.It is a sample population for the entire population.To some large extent it can be use to generalize how the exercise pan out.

Exactly......so its quiet weird that an Enigma like Tinubu can't get 25% from Abuja. Quite weird!.
Either ways can you answer the question stated in the topic?
