Abuja in the Constitution isn't a state. FCT was defined in the Constitution. Please, get your facts right.

Nigeria comprises of two components in the Constitution;
1. The states
2. The FCT. One must get 2/3 of the two components

The Constitution defines the meaning of the states which are 36 while it went forward to define what FCT means. FCT is regarded as an Area Council headed by the President as the governor. So, if you must be the president of the council, 2/3 is the requirement

So, the Constitution isn't wrong to always state and FCT. So, get 2/3 in 24 states and 2/3 of the Area Council which is FCT Or do you win a state as a governor without winning 25% of the state, if we so consider FCT as a compulsory state? This is the council that houses all the Federal bodies

The constitution isn't wrong to always mention the FCT after the states.

Both the States and FCT is the totality of federation units in Nigeria.

That is 37 units.

So that is why the rule is to secure national spread in Nigeria that is made up of all states and FCT.

25% in 2/3 of Nigeria is 25% in 2/3 of all states and FCT.

Did Tinubu get this mark in the 37 units that make up Nigeria?

Yes!

Use your brain.

Obi's votes were drastically reduced by INEC and was added to Tinubu. obi proved this in court and he also submitted 18,000 pu results sheet as evidence. Oga Tinubu did not win up to 6 states in the last election. Of course FTC being a determinant factor here also goes to Obi.

This is a clear indication that obi is already the president in waiting

You are deluded by the propaganda discussions in your obidient WhatsApp groups.

I reckon Obi won Kwara state and Kogi and Oyo and Ogun and Borno?

You are a loser just like Obi.

Your pain shall double by the time the tribunal gives it verdict, and it shall triple by the time you lose appeal up to the highest court.

TheBillyonaire:
Winning 25% in Abuja is nonsense.

Abuja is like 37th State, so if any Candidate won 25% of 37 States, it should be fine.

What is special about Abuja that residents must know Candidate enough to give 25% votes.

Makes no sense.

In fact, 0 votes in Abuja can never stop the candidate with the highest votes who has already attained 25% in 2/3 of our 37 federation units.

The federation units are all states and FCT which is currently 36 states and FCT.

Tinubu already has that in 29 States out of the 37 units.

Tinubu's victory is unshakable.

Nothing for the loser trying to steal a mandate he could not win.

Stop increasing the potential of obidients' misery.

Tinubu is the President and does not require a single vote in FCT to be validly declared the winner of the election he won.

25% of 2/3 of all states and FCT is the totality of Nigeria, as Nigeria is made up of States and FCT.

Did Tinubu score 25% in 2/3 of that totality of 37 units?

Yes!

The zombies should move on with their loss.

Stop increasing the potential of your misery.

beerfraud:
nobody is stopping you
We are just reminding you that Peter Pand0ra Obituary’s government in Anambra was a failure

We certainly don't need the hypocrites to agree, but to remind them that they are hypocrites.

No be Nigerians again?

A people who think only fools are upright.

Abi no be this Nairaland some Nigerians were condemning a Muslim pilgrim for returning some US Dollars cash that was found while on pilgrimage in Mecca?

We no longer have a soul or national conscience.

Emusan:
Why mentioned "AND FCT" when he didn't get 25% or above 25% in FCT?



We know that



But this is not what that statement says"

The statement read "The 2nd respondent polled more than 25% in total votes cast in 29 states of the federation and FCT"

Why inserting"AND FCT" when the statement isn't about 36 states of the federation and FCT?

Keep defending rubbish!

Because the and FCT is part of the totality of Nigeria.

If you are required to get 25% in 2/3 of Nigeria, that is 25% in 36 States and FCT.

Tinubu got it in 29 of (36 States and FCT).

Emusan:
But that's not what the statement above says.



But it's not 36 states that was mentioned only 29 states.



You're the one reading it that way.

That's not what the above statement says.



But he didn't get it in FCT.

Yes 29 (states and FCT) was mentioned because that is what Tinubu got out of (all states and FCT).

The Nigerian federation is composed of States and FCT.

Did Tinubu get 25% in 2/3 of the federation of Nigeria (36 States and FCT)

Yes he did.

Emusan:
You're just a pure illiterate!

That statement is too straight forward.

"Having score above 25% in 29 states of the federation and the FCT."

Why are you people like this without conscience?

This is a technical point being raised here.

what the Tinubu team did is to restate what is in the constitution, which is 25% in 2/3 of all states and FCT.

All states and FCT is 36 States and FCT which is what makes up the federation of Nigeria.

Has Tinubu achieve 25% in 2/3 of Nigeria's federation?

The answer is Yes.

No candidate needs any particular state and FCT, only to get the requirement in 25% of (all states and FCT).

seunmsg:
Is the federation made up of 36 states and the FCT?

Truly, the federation is made up of 36 States and FCT and Tinubu has overshot the requirement of 2/3.

The olodos in LP will get sense las las.

Penguin2:
Understood that judgments are the opinion of the judge.

But the question now becomes, how objective is that opinion?

A judge’s opinion is supposed to be an objective one informed by facts, the letters of the constitution, the spirit of the constitution and other relevant statutes.

But it becomes a problem when a judges decision/opinion is subjectively informed by his biases or other things unknown to law and judicial precedents.

You people should stop talking as if Nigerians and the rest of the world are brainless.

You are a bird of delusion.

You are ready to believe any fake news however outlandish, as long as it is suitable propaganda for your lost cause.

You deserve a lengthy ban for breaking the below rule.

8. Don't post false information on Nairaland

Beremx:
I loved the way US shocked them. That was the reason the US refused to disclose their names when they announced the Visa ban.

E seriously shock them

You are a confirmed mumu if you believed that the American government has the rights to interfere with the Judiciary of a sovereign country.

The news is as fake as Aba made merchandise.

...not until i've been disgraced, said the tortoise.

Nigerians are a biological nuisance to sanity and civilization.

zoedew:
And Ibori ruined the good work Econet started in telecommunications in Nigeria when in furtherance of his corrupt ways he sought to steal Delta State shareholding but Strive Masiyiwa of Econet wouldn’t let him. He stomped Econet out of Nigeria thereafter using his huge political influence. Strive Masiyiwa was ready and testified against Ibori in UK Court. Ibori was convicted of criminal theft and money laundering and sentenced to a jail term and deported to Nigeria. Our Supreme Court was a let down in the Ibori trial before them.

Very true.

He wanted to play a fast one on Econet, but Strive really put up a stubborn resistance to corruption.

Bethel4Life:
My president 😍

Your Twitter President that cannot even tweet about insecurity in his native SouthEast until he has been dragged for months by Reno like a faulty Sumec generator?

Johnny come lately.

jmoore:
The security agencies know what to do but don't want to do it.


Just a bullet into the skull of Simon Ekperima and 75% of the problem is solved.

I keep reiterating that CIA of USA, Mossad of Israel and KGB of Russia won't relax when someone is outside their country but is a threat to their nation.

That Ekperima can be eliminated without any trace. Burn his body into ashes and dump it into the ocean. Let it appear like he's missing or went underground.

You wail that the Buhari regime committed a crime to bundle Kanu from kenya to Nigeria, despite being a wanted terrorist that jumped bail.

Now you want the Tinubu regime to commit murder of Ekpa, so you can begin to tag US, EU, UN, FIFA, and JAMB that the Nigerian state you hate is assassinating Igbos that are Finnish or British citizens?

My brother, abeg continue to enjoy Ofe Nsala day as you dey enjoy am in those days. Do not be a unity begger or someone that wants to railroad the Nigerian government into the sanctions of those you love to tag while shedding crocodile tears as victims.

Where are the pictures of the many Igbos showing us their Ofe Nsala delicacies as it used to be when enjoying this voluntary display of loyalty and support?

There is nothing that Ekpa is doing that Nnamdi Kanu did not advocate or remind his followers then that they are under oath to be loyal to his directives.

Nnamdi Kanu vowed to burn down Nigeria, do not pretend that Ekpa is the monster while Kanu was a decent human.

There is a reason Kanu is still chained to the floor of the DSS cell after being shipped in a metal cage like the rabid animal he is.

Tinubu and Ibori had a good working relationship as peer Governors of the 1999/2007 class.

Both Lagos State and Delta State invested in Econet Nigeria at the time the Telecom Operator entered the Nigerian GSM market as the 1st licensee.

This is a shame if true, as I do not see anywhere in his quoted remarks that suggest that consultation is still ongoing for a Ministers list that Dele Alake prommised that a serious government would concluded within 1month.

But by the time we enter the 7th week, I hope Dele Alake will redefine what he means by a "serious government".

Even if he failed to become Nigerian President, we must appreciate Obi for doing a wonderful job of sending congratulatory messages to those who are succeeding in their pursuits.

He is not a sore loser after all.

ODUBEZE:
Of all the things written, pronoun is your own plight

Education would have taught you that all tribes are humans first but no! [b]Politics has dealt you a big blow

Sorry for you![/b]

You mean the very politics that has made you a bitter and envious soul that cannot appreciate any good effort that is not of your tribe or the party you support?

You should be grateful I have coached you to diagnose a problem you did not know you had.

ODUBEZE:
Otedola worked for APC, so it's contract time

He has to recoup his money

That's Nigerian politics for you

Afe Babalola is another beneficiary of Tinubu, disguising as a statesman

We know them

Are the We Igbos?

Just asking to better understand your plight.

You cannot vote 95% for a fellow Igbo and call my own tribe as tribalist for voting a fellow Yoruba at 60% of votes cast.

You cannot have the politics and political appointments in the SouthEast to be exclusively for Igbos, but you want to participate in the politics and political appointments of other regions.

This is why Ahmadu Bello came up with the Northernization policy when he was the Premier of the North.

Simply beacuse some people having exclusively occupied all the positions in their own region, wanted to be allowed to compete for roles in the North.

Despite all the lamentations of Igbos about their phantom discrimination in other parts of Nigeria, they are the ones who still boast that they have displaced "lazy" indigenes in their home region, while no tribe can displace Igbos in their own home region.

A weird case of an aggressor crying that he is being assaulted, and hoping that will prevent the 'foolish' victim from seeking redress.

duro4chang:
Initial gra gra. Over Sabi!

It must start from somewhere and somehow.

To reorientate Nigerians to be upright is a struggle that we must all support.

I commend the commissioner for making an effort to reform stubborn goats who only complain the country is bad but resist every attempt to make it good.

SpatialKing:
Chike Obi was the first Nigerian to be awarded PhD in Mathematics

revolt:
I was shocked when I saw a different name

It is a fact that Chike Obi was the 1st Mathematics PhD holder in Nigeria and Africa, but was Chike Obi the 1st professor of Mathematics when Adegoke Olubunmo who got his own PhD in 1955 (5 years after Chike Obi), became a full Professor by 1964?

Being 1st Mathematics PhD in Nigeria is different from being 1st Mathematics Professor in Nigeria.

Just as Henry Carr of Lagos got his Mathematics Bachelors at the University of Durham as far back as 1882. The 1st African to be so educated in that field of study.

So you should not be shocked you saw a different name, you should be shocked that you failed to comprehend.

Learn to understand before challenging aimlessly.

Ttalk:
Some people will still find ways to discredit the report. If no be them ONLY then it is rubbish.

I lost count of Yoruba names on the list, first in many, Yoruba is truly the pioneer in academics in Nigeria

The tribal victims have claimed they were fighting Biafra war while Yorubas were taking up positions that should belong to them.

They will soon blame the Biafra war as the reason they did not have a single secondary school in Igboland until many Yorubas had graduated from presitigious universities abroad.

kettykin:
Wow , so Akanu ibiam and Zik had so much influence and power over western region

Yes they had influence over a federal government university in Ibadan.

Azikiwe as Nigerian ceremonial President was the appointed Visitor to the school, while Akanu Ibiam was the school council Chairman.

Infact, Azikiwe ensure he used his role as Visitor to replace Akanu Ibiam at the end of his tenure, with another Igbo as council Chairman, and same Igbo was also replaced by another Igbo. Azikiwe ensured that both the school Principal and Council Chairman were Igbo at all times to advance his Igbo domination agenda.

SamboAnguissa:
When Yorubas set standard, they don't catch up. They wail their lives away. You don't know the level of inferiority complex these bonobos suffer at the mention of Yoruba. On twitter yesterday Reno was appreciating some aspects of Yoruba culture. Without mentioning ibbo, one okpa munching goat commented saying he didnt know why Reno hated ibbos. See this thread listing first profs. Without mentioning tribe, all other tribes read and passed, but one of the children of perdition must come to show his inferiority complex. I don't blame them though. They don't have history, and they were still walking about naked in the 20th century.

Their inferiority complex is worth studying as a sociology project.

Hahahaha!

'HEPOPOTAMUS' no wan tey again?

Obi is that unserious fellow who was lucky to deceive the many gullible electorates who wanted to feel cool on social media.

His own words was that he must become Nigerian President now or later, but he has now abandoned 2027 so Tinubu can complete his 2 terms.

I still dey ask, which baba do the juju for Tinubu?

I must go Ijebu go do my own.

hakeemhakeem:
Work has started on the list, which had been sent to dss for scrutiny

That is what should have happened since the 2nd week of the Tinubu administration, so as to meet up to the 1month serious government mantra of Dele Alake that was seconded by Bayo Onanuga.

It would be foolish to not learn anything from the pitfalls of the Buhari regime.

Once you lose grip of dictating the public perception of your administration, you will forever be on the defensive as the opposition will help to confuse the public even further.

If Tinubu spent 3weeks to get his cabinet named when he was Lagos Governor, is it unseriousness that has limited him now after 6weeks?

Keep simple promises so that your supporters have something to work with in the midst of constant opposition and anti-government anarchists.

This is obviously a fake list.

This is what you enable when you cannot keep to a simple promise/milestone that is very much within your power to attain.

I hope Dele Alake remembers that he was the one who asserted that a serious government only needs 1month to have its cabinet up and running.

The Tinubu regime must not make the same many and foolish mistakes that the Buhari regime became known for.
