It has nothing to do with wether lower or upper court.

It is all about an AGENDA!
The Igbos have theirs ( break this shit hole by any possible means)

The Yorubas and Hausas/Fulani has theirs ( Never in the corridors of power from an Eastern extraction - they rather die)

Non of the powerhouse of this nation is found in any part of the East or South South, even an ordinary seaport we don't deserve to own despite having the largest board in the entire nation.

You think all these things are mare coincidence? You may be a compound fool!

We are driven by AGENDAS in this country and this is the major reason this nation cannot find her bearing.

so someone that votes in abuja, his vote is more special and superior than someone that votes in suleja LGA in Niger state with is less than 1 km to Abuja territory ?

Asiwaju is not the type of person to toss out at the lower court, that means giving room & time to use State Organs to throw Nigeria into crisis. Give the damn judgement at the Supreme Court level, once it is made, he simply pack his bag and leave.
Na crowd go lead the new president to ASO ROCK or go force am comot there!
At that point if he make any order, he can be detained indefinitely by the New President. In-fact i believe that is the breakfast they prepare for him, as he threaten the anarchy & chaos in his submission through his lawyers!

If a candidate has 25% in Kano and another 25% in Imo, are they the same?

When the constitution says that a candidate must have the spread that's where 25% in FCT comes in. It has nothing to do with the value of the votes. It's simply a matter of spread.

Law and Logic are two different things.

Why do you think we've been complaining about the loopholes and lacunas in the constitution?
At the end of the day the law is the law, no matter how illogical it seems.

Yes it doesn't make sense that Abuja's votes are more important than others,

Same way it doesn't make sense that an elected president whose election is being contested should be sworn in before the case is determined.

So it's this useless 25% you are all clinging to?

Una still dey hold unto failure like palliative

you are a good citizen of Nigeria... Please don't mind those pityobi people...

This is not true.

The SC has not dealt with the 25% issue before now, this is the first time.

teeytimi:

Why are you guys so dumb, are you saying if a candidate wins 25% in the whole 36 state, in fact, possibly wins all the votes in the entire 36 states he should not be declared winner just because he didn't get 25% in FCT.

Doesn't that sounds stupid to you, is everyone going to reason like a dumb ass you lots are.

my dear, please save your energy these Agitators and pityobi people are like virus to Nigeria... If anything does not go there way there only option is to scatter and burn down to the ground...

Supreme court has never ruled on 25% FCT. Can you please post the judgment here for all to see.

See this dumbasss meathead!

Is this the first time you're hearing about the phrase "lacuna in the constitution?"

Why are you so stupid?

I wonder why your mama didn't christian you the name "Stupiid!"

That clause is obviously a flaw in the constitution but logic and law are not the same.

There are many many such constitutional subjects that don't make sense which is why there has been a long time clamour for a constitutional amendment.

That clause must be amended but until then, the law works with the constitution not whatever you think makes sense to you or does not.

Do I have to paint you a picture for this.?

Or should I write in pidgin for you to understand?

Damn, so many goats moving around in human costumes in this country.

Abuja votes is not special or superior to any votes in other states, all votes are equal . So if a candidate lost in all 36 state and win in abuja he should be declared winner abi

Agreed.
Abuja votes are not superior to other states.


So also let's assume a President scores 90 percent in all the 36 States and gets 1 percent in Abuja,
Is it fair for such President to be the "governor" of Abuja?
Definitely not fair, and doesn't make sense.


So what we need is a constitutional amendment on that issue, not some smart asses falling over themselves to see who's smarter.

Do you understand English at all?

I just conceded that all these scenerios are not fair altogether, it is not only the 25 percent in Abuja that is not fair.

All of them are not fair.

So a constitutional amendment is required.

But for now, what we need is a proper and final Supreme Court judgement on the meaning of "36 States and the FCT"

What does it mean constitutionally and legally? not what does it mean commonsensically?.

For the umpteenth time I say,

COMMON SENSE AND LAW ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

I am just asking you yes or no question and you must answer it

Yes as written in the constitution, it seems so.no be me write am.judiciary role is to interpret constitution as written not to change d overall idea.its simple 25% in 36 states and the FCT. The fact that this has been interpreted by supreme court before to mean no need for former arguments. Tribunal is a lower court than supreme court so lets see how supreme court will cancel their earlier pronouncements

I asked you this question first,, and you must answer it,,,

Should a president govern a territory where he gets only one percent of the votes of the people in that territory?

Answer this question. Yes or No?

tesppidd:

Should a president govern a territory where he gets only one percent of the votes of the people in that territory?

Answer this question. Yes or No?

YES because the territory is not whole of Nigeria, and he is president of Nigeria not president of Abuja. oya so if a candidate lost in all 36 state and win only Abuja among many contestants that means he should be declared winner?

yarimo:

Utter nonsense!

So Rivers has a governor.

Kaduna has a governor.

Kogi has a governor.

They all elect their governors with a majority.

So Who is the governor of Abuja? And why must an unpopular governor govern them?
