all these your rubbish holds no water

People in Abuja are not more important than people elsewhere so forget that analysis

Penguin2:

Please go back to kindergarten.

Do you even know what “pre” means? It means “before”.

So, in my comment that you quoted I meant that Military Administrators were only possible “before 1999 Constitution.”

And you are here telling me that there’s nothing like “pre 1999”. Did Nigeria come into existence in 1999?

And which section of the constitution provides for military administrator takeover in the absence of a governor? What are deputy governors then elected for? Do you even have any idea about line of succession in the constitution?

Come, did you just write your WAEC? If yes, did you not do simple Civic Education?

All this hollowness just to defend Tinubu.

Goodness lord!

What part of "STATE OF EMERGENCY" , "MILITARY ADMINISTRATION" "MARTIAL LAW"

Don't you understand?!

Is it Administrator vs Governor which are synonym that is your problem

Penguin2:


Is this what you understood from the 1999 constitution?

d 1999 constitution didn’t say anything as regards that, u are misinterpreting it

If Abuja is d most important n decider, y hold election in other states?

The president can't rule from anywhere. Must be from Aso rock. You can't have Federal power and State Power on same boat.

Governor 25% in State Capital. ... Now you are making a point.....Fact Check

Have any Governor Getten Below 25% and Win that State. NEVER.
IF you See any State let me Know

Lotanna2:


Oga, if the president is governor of fct,he will need to win it not get 25%.the president can decide to rule from anywhere.it also means a governor too will need 25% in state capitals

Oga, requirements or criteria for governor's and presidents are always the same.reaf the constitution very well.if a president is to get 25% in fct,govs too will need to get in capitals.the taraba state gov failed to get 25% in jalingo.

Let the Court decide

They will but their body language already shows where they will decide

It is why Tinubu is threatening the Court and Nation?

Just pray Peter Obi Shouldn't call for a Protest. You will Know Where the People of Nigerian Stand.

Also do well to hide your Face oo. Nigerian are not Smiling

Sincerely, most of them don't know that the 25% in 2/3 rule also applies to state.
A run off according to the constitution is between 2 candidates, the first is majority vote while the second is 25% in 2/3.
If we assume that the FCT argument is right, it means we are to have a candidate not fulfilling either of the 2 requirements above to be part of the run off. The 2nd and 3rd do not have majority vote nor have 25% in 24 or 25 states(however you choose to count the 2/3), so who will join the one with majority vote for a runoff??

PDP had more than 20K vote in Jalingo. That's more than 30%

Baba rest

I told some guys here about a week ago that the section 299 that Tinubu lawyers and supporters are hinging on to argue that the FCT is just another state in Nigeria, only referred to the administration of the territory and did not preclude the place of the FCT as one of the provisions that must be satisfied before a presidential candidate is declared.

They argued with me then, but I’m happy to see my argument incorporated by Obi lawyers in their written address in response to Tinubu and Shettima at the tribunal.

Questions for determination:

1) If the FCT is a state (in the sense canvassed for by Tinubu lawyers and supporters) why was there no governorship election in the territory on March 18, 2023 when the rest of Nigerian states had their gubernatorial elections except for those whose election have been staggered?

2) In the 1979 constitution, the condition that a presidential candidate must satisfy before being declared a winner was to “get highest number of votes cast and 25% in 2/3 of the states of the federation.” No mention was made of the FCT which was Lagos then. The question therefore is, if it was not intended that a presidential candidate must score 25% in the FCT, why was that provision attached in the 1999 constitution? Why didn’t the requirement just end with “… and score 25% of votes cast in 2/3 of the states of federation as it was in the 1979 constitution?

3) Because the FCT has no elected governor or mayor, the president appoints a minister who administers the territory on his behalf. Does it not make sense therefore, that man who will appoint the administrator for this territory MUST have at least 25% approval of indigenes and residents of the territory?

The truth is that like is popularly said, the law is a bitch. It cares not about your sentiments and biases, it will serve justice by letters and spirit of the law.

Tinubu did not satisfy the constitutional provision to be declared a winner which makes his declaration null and void.

It is not a state like Osun State Lagos State etc in naming but it has a toga of a state in representation..
During the presidential election it is always treated as a state. There are SC judgements on that which have never been vacated..
The veneer of FCT as a state will still be upheld at the AC and SC.

And you call yourself an engineer. This is how tinubu supporters are. They always shoot themselves in the foot when trying to lie.

Engineers are generally intelligent. You're not intelligent. You're just a low life expressing stupidity which you're not being paid for.

Rest in peace

They know the truth but parochial and ethno-religious sentiments always affects the reasoning of many political observers.

See how restless penguin2 has become. Insomnia is real!


I can't wait to see you insult the Judges after judgement.


Fct is not even up to the status of a state ordinarily. Section 299 just brought it up to pal with the states for constitutional convenience not to make it superior or special in any way.

Stenewiser:
And why do think individuals living in Abuja are so special to decide for the whole nation base on their choice of candidate.

Is this hard to understand? People in FCT are not special; it is FCT that is special.

Say no to forcing yourself on people if they dont want you(Lagos Landlord)

They actually did, but not the way you thought, FCT minister is an elective position like governor, Philip Aduda of PDP was removed by the LP ireti, in the previous election.

. . . .And why do they not get state allocations>

FCT is only a state used for election purposes then discarded without state benefits after elections.
Talk about having you cake and eating it too!

The way criminal minds operate to suit their selfish aims.

37 states for elections. . . and back to 36 states after elections.

USELESS CRIMINALS!

ORIENTATION101:
Obidient if Nigeria constitution wanted FCT to be mandatory, they would have simply created another subsection for it to stand out from the state during president election.

Despite two different subsection in the consultation stating clear that fct can be liken to state, Obidient are still looking for compulsory 25%😂😂😂

If the constitution didn’t intend for FCT to be mandatory, why was the provision not left as it was in the 1979 Constitution which is the parent of the 1999 constitution?

Ikaeniyan0:
It's not a state but will be treated as one of the states in the presidential election

Yeah!

Then after election it will revert to not being state?

All because of Tinubu?

Clap for yourself. You know the law.

My brother don't mind the delusional sentimental blind followers of the druggie. With or without the issues of elections, every sane nigerian knows that we have 36 States in Nigeria. The FCT is always an additional factor. To those asking if the inhabitants of FCT are better than others . My question is why is it mandatory that you must have credit in math and English before gaining admissions into any higher institution in Nigeria? Is maths and English not the same like any other subjects? Anyway let's allow our corrupt judges to determine the final interpretation after all common sense is not common.

Stubborn82:

That was senate. Ireti is a Senator . FCT has only 1 Senator , 2 house of reps. Zero house of assembly because no governor.

Penguin2:

that is the question for those that amend it. As far as 1999 constitution is concerned, fct has no special status in electoral process and two sections of the constitution confirmed it separately

Curse777:



Abuja is a subnational, like other 36 states

Having Governors doesn't define a state

All State had Administrator under Military rule



.

shatap,what is the definition of a state?

Stenewiser:
And why do think individuals living in Abuja are so special to decide for the whole nation base on their choice of candidate.

Still base on why the constitution deprived them their constitutional rights to choose their own Governor. QED. Before you appoint a minister to rule over them, they must trust you they must trust you. This is a special status.

Yeah!
