Tribunal Rules That Winning 25% Of Abuja Votes Isn't Compulsory by Melezenawii(op): 1:59pm On Sep 06, 2023
No Status Attached to FCT. It is a federal capital territory, 25percent not Necessary. - PEPT.

The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal Dismissed Petition of Peter Obi/LP on 25% of FCT required to wins Presidential election, the court rule that FCT Citizens Doesn’t enjoy special privileges ahead of other States.

Re: Tribunal Rules That Winning 25% Of Abuja Votes Isn't Compulsory by Racoon(m):
As for the mandatory 25% votes constitutional votes in the FCT requirements for being elect president here you have it.

Administration of the FCT
-1"The capital territory shall be treated as if it were a state
And NOT as a state.

-2"Therefore, the president and vice president shall be seen as the governor and deputy governor, the National Assembly has legislative power over the FCT, while the Federal Executive Council (FEC) serves as its State Executive Council (SEC)."
No executive governor. No state cabinet, state assembly or legislature.

-3"Section 302 of the constitution gives the president the prerogative to appoint anyone as the minister of the FCT if he so chooses, or act as the minister if he prefers not to delegate the role..."
The FCT is under the perogative of the president who delegates such power of administering the FCT to anyone whom he deemed fit. Hence such a person or individual is not a constitutionally elected governor or administrator.

-4“302. The President may, in exercise of the powers conferred upon him by section 147 of this Constitution, appoint for the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja a Minister who shall exercise such powers and perform such functions as may be delegated to him by the President, from time to time,” the constitution reads. Mr Wike will face some administrative restraints in administering the city.
A constitutionally elected governor of a state does not act or exercise power with or under any limitation.

No wonder the druggie was screaming there will be chaos if he is removed on account of this mandatory 25% requirement. This is the constitution yet dismissed by the PEPT. A precedence too has been set by the APC government.

Stale news.

Thank you OP for sharing.

That plea was thrown out over 2 hours ago!
I broke the news here first.

It's all over again for Mr Obi and the LP mob.

How a man who no dey give shishi now paid millions upon millions of naira to people to go argue these hollow, weak and nebulous pleas beggars belief. It's like a money miss road case or should I say over-wise.Check my signature for free stuffs!

Any lp and pdp supporter that expected any favourable judgement today did it at his or her own expense. Can u sack ur boss? If u can't then who lied to u that the judges paid by fg can topple the same pple that pay them? Every judgement you'll see nd read today were written by apc senior lawyers. This judges are just figure head.

Are you trying to say Labour Party can't recover their mandate?

Those lawyers don cash out from Eluuu P and the man who got advice from a mad man. I am sure the mad man also told him that 25% in the FCT is a must for him. Mad mad don cause the Agulu man him manhood mandate.
Re: Tribunal Rules That Winning 25% Of Abuja Votes Isn't Compulsory by tonididdy(m):
It is finished

So OBI lost all his case just like that.
I can’t blame the judges and politicians ( they have families to feed)

Only Jesus can redeem this country! and to do that! He has to physically contest and win FIRST

The criminal has perfected plans to make it look like he has no hands in the rubbish Fashola wrote as the final judgement for today to Favour Thiéfnubu and his foolish sophisticated morons. But let me tell you something, all those who have one way or the other done or supports injustice agaiia people or person usually end badly. Those of you supporting the nonsense going on because you have the power to force anybody to do your biddings, just know that power is transient. It will be done unto you too and yours will be worse.
Is it the cartoon version of the judges shown on live tv or the stuttering speech of the lead justice as if he wasn't the one who wrote the judgement.
Just like this judgement going on, you all will face your own judgement without mercy.

FINALLY

Had the court ruled in favour of the Obi petittion on Abuja, at the end, we might as well cancel all elections elsewhere and hold presidential elections only in Abuja.

Matter settled.

MODIFIED

APC people reading this, you guys, you are supposed to put pressure on Tinubu to do better by us. You have 4 years to convince us. Next time, we vote you out if you fail. Una hear?
