Lol. If you failed English Language in Primary School that's your problem. I can buy you Queen Prima so you can go back to the basics.

The 36 States and FCT is a list of items . If you have a list of two or more items in English, the last comma is removed and replaced with the conjunction AND.

Example;

-3 States of the Federation and the FCT have declared Friday as public holidays.

Can also be written as below;

- The States of Lagos, Oyo, Ogun and the FCT have declared Friday as public holidays.

Or

The FCT and the States of Lagos, Ogun and Oyo have declared Friday as public holiday.

Other examples

- Please buy bread,milk and cheese.

To list out the 36 states one after the other by their names is absurd when those feature in multiple places in the constitution. Also a list can be arranged anyhow and does not need to have a form. The constitution could list the states Alphabetically starting with Abia,....and Zamfara where FCT would be listed under F. Would this mean someone also has to get 25% in Zamfara or they are not duly elected?

I say it again. Any SAN bringing such up is nothing but deluded and need to return back to English classes. These are beer parlour arguments not fit for a court of law. If i were to be the Judge to preside over this. Would ask the petitioners to go stand under the sun for 1 hour for waste of my time.

Even in Legal perspective, the concept of FCT being more equal than other states alone throws away the basic tenents of the Nigerian constitution and citizens rights that states that all Nigerians are equal and have equal rights to freedom of association and religion. Any SAN with common sense should know this but it's not unusual that we like to chase shawdows when we should be focusing on more productive things.

So, Christians shouldn't vote him? Several apc supporters here on NL had lashed out at Prof Osinbajo the moment he came out to run, calling him unprintable names, even linking him with RCCG. They've done worse in this election, even spiting pa Adebanjo, a well respected yorubaman. They saw the GRV's comment on twitter calling tinubu afonja and suddenly generalised it on the yoruba race. Meanwhile, they've called Pa Adebanjo all manner of names for supporting power rotation to the south east and then, they didn't see it as an insult on yourbas in spite of the sensitive position he's holding and how important the organisation is among us.

These guys are nothing but hypocrites. If you like, dig out all his pasts, it won't change anything in Saturday's election.

Which atrocities could be worse than calling a battalion to attack and kill unarmed civilians at lekki toll gate by a puppet who first denied it but later bowed to pressure by saying he acted on the instruction from above? Had his child been among the protesters, would he have tried that shiit?GRV never did anything close to this yet, they're trying to bring him down at all cost. If you like, come out in your usual ęgbęjoda t-shirt in different colours and besiege all lagos roads, it won't change anything. GRV is our own and we won't let him down in Lag, come Saturday at Alimosho. We don't know sanwoolu here. He did nothing here in the last 4 years. Alimosho must progress. God bless ambode who remembered us. They only remember us during campaigns. They know we have the largest population in lagos and Nigeria as a LG but always neglecting us. It won't be business as usual this time .

Na your brothers.
Nigeria is for all of us. If e good, we all benefit.
If not, we all suffer. Bayelsa is a stagnant staye despite producing a president. No be today.

IMHO, People should grow thicker skin...

N3TRAL:
It's now 53. APC is the majority. Swift enactment of laws and protection of the president.

No one can impeach the president without the approval of the APC senators as it stands.

Having majority in the legislature promotes the stability of the executive in a Presidential system.

Please let go hatred and whatever opinion you hold against the President-elect. Let's give him the chance to rebuild our nation. Let's not frustrate his government to prove a point.

Please.

Tinubu is not a bad person. A Muslim whose background was Islamic but defied all odds, went ahead to marry a Christian wife and supported her in church during her ordination as a pastor is a very liberal man. Most of his children and grandchildren today are christians.

Aso Rocks chapel will be led by his wife and children on Sundays. It will never be closed.

Unlimited22:
Whether or not he's a Muslim is none of my business.

Im working with what he's said.

Unlimited22:
Shey Dayo Isreal don dey change mouth?


My greatest problems with Tinubu are:
1. The dangerous precedent a Muslim Muslim ticket will set in a country as fragile as Nigeria.

2. The timing. This is 1999, not 2023. The man is demonstrably unhealthy.


3. The fear of replicating the chokehold on Lagos on a national scale.


Peter Obi, by Nigerian politics standards, has a balanced ticket, and a CLEAN RECORD.
That's why he has my support. But una go dey shout wailer wailer up and down.

Even while we're pointing at irregularities that will bite everyone later down the line.

Emaprince:
In a free and fair election?

Are you saying that Obi rigged the election?

Emmynator:
Is Obi still on track to get 25% of votes in 2/3rd of the states?
Omo, this election 🤦🏾‍♂️

pocohantas:
Yea right. Everyone is a saint once they join LP. So vote against competent people for structure.




And Banky didn’t do all that? I am not sure you know what you are saying on this one. People are on his page saying they don’t know him and voted because they say LP. You come dey talk another one.
