josilcool:You are daft.....Those that did that way did it because they regarded FCT as a mini Nigeria where every states of the federation is represented proportionally. If you win the FCT, then a good number of people from all states voted 3 Likes 1 Share |

wwwkaycom: He did not contradict himself, he only said the obvious bcoz FCT is part of Nigeria territory and the Nigeria constitution says all votes are equal. None of the federating units of Nigeria (36 states+FCT) is greater or special than others. In other words, the votes of Nigerians residing in FCT cannot be greater or more special than that of Nigerians in Bayelsa state. 1 Like |

Akwamkpuruamu:1 - The constitution only states that reference to the governor, as far as the FCT is concerned, is to the president of Nigeria. There is no mention of any specific election to be conducted for Governor of FCT and no electoral material indicates that in the FCT. This makes sense because residency in Abuja is expected to be largely dynamic with many people also maintaining residency in their home states. 2 - The constitution made it clear that its provisions sees Abuja as a state - Chapter VIII Part I Section 299 Chapter VIII Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and General Supplementary Provisions Part I Federal Capital Territory, Abuja 297. (1) There shall be a Federal Capital Territory, Abuja the boundaries of which are as defined in Part II of the First Schedule to this Constitution. (2) The ownership of all lands comprised in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja shall vest in the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. 298. The Federal Capital Territory, Abuja shall be the Capital of the Federation and seat of the Government of the Federation. 299. The provisions of this Constitution shall apply to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja as if it were one of the States of the Federation; and accordingly - ..... 1 Like |

Mini Nigeria indeed.... Using this your logic means at state level if a governorship candidate didn't have 1/4 in the state capital, such candidate should not be declared winner even if such candidate have the highest number of casted votes in that state. Make it make sense ooo Isobug: 1 Like |

N3TRAL: Your comment was the reality but last paragraph got me laughing and I am sorry to say you're so wrong on that. Fight back in 2027, how? To set up their own INEC office who will declare results transparently in 2027? If the court cannot do anything now what makes you think they will do anything different in 2027? And I'm sure if someone had told you in 2019 that INEC will declare anybody who didn't get 25% vote in FCT a winner, you would have doubted the person but today it happened before your eyes. So what makes you think they will change in 2027. Dey play APC will continue to be president until they select someone like Jonathan who is not ready to do anything to retain power. So if you like fight back from today till 2099, INEC will always declare who they want as the winner and 98% chances is going to be the ruling party. |

nairalandkachy1: Constitution on Election and Administrstion: two headings. The Constitution is clear on administrstion matters where it says that the FCT is like any other state. The Constitution is clear on Election matters where it says that a presidential candidate must win 25% of votes in Abuja capital territory, and in 2/3 of the number of states, before declared winner. There is no confusion between the two headings. |
