I have had the privilege of speaking to an aged but learned gentleman who was Instrumental in shaping the constitution we operate today.

It makes sense to accredit the FCT as our unity certifiers. FCT is our capital territory, specifically created for same purpose, has neither a governor nor an assembly of its own, has due representation of Nigeria's people and is central.

In any case, the constitution wants to see 1/3 of the votes cast in this location accrue to the candidate with majority votes cast in a presidential election to be declared a winner. This is the law.

The FCT is our electoral college.
Is it that obidients dont read or is that you people read and dont understand? When i quoted the condition of section 299 of constitution, have u bothered to look at it or u read it and didn't understand let me help again..

Once again i have helped u to make it clearer, with the image below. if u dont undertsand it after now, my brother leave English and education is not your calling go and continue with petty trading.. Sorry i dont mean. It as insult but just that this area of undyou dont have it, if you dont get it after this last message to you.. It is better to let u live in your own world

That part I bolded doesn’t show that you are educated up to college of education.

Convergencehuh So ABJ has convergence but Lagos doesn’t have it? Are you connecting your sense to your finger at all?

It is only confusion that’s making you people drool over the FCT. FCT was added because it is part of the confederation. So how do you people want the writer to add FCT without using the word AND? Or FCT should have been left out of the equation since it is not a state. People who said winning FCT separately is a must are only showing their crass. Abuja is taken as the 37th state. All votes in Nigeria are equal says the electoral law.

If you want to talk about the country, you would say we have 36 states in Nigeria AND FCT. Or would u rather say 37 states.
I've stopped wasting my time talking to illiterates, and you definitely fall in that category. Bye.

The problem with you defenders of rubbish is that you lack self-respect, much like the common thief and drug dealer you waste your useless lives defending.

As I told one of you earlier, I've stopped wasting my time talking to illiterates, and you definitely fall in that category. Bye.
