face reality bro you know APC is not on the losing side according to inec report

They will lose a runoff against PDP ❤️

Apophenia24k:
Don't mind them.
Abuja is not a state but incase you failed to fulfill the requirements of 25% in 24 states but win or above 25% in Abuja you have qualified.
Abuja in this case is regarded as a state..

Another one that thinks Abuja is one of the 36 states. If you add Abuja there are 37 not 36. You should have listened in class my friend ❤️

Misterone:
No one does it better than you! See as you just use the constitution take drink garri. Respect

It is impressive

He actually thinks Abuja is one of the 36 states.

But na me be dumbo according to him lol

DeOTR:
Again, ChatGPT is not a reliable interpreter of our law. Like I told someone days ago, our Court of law will clear our doubts if the need arises.
It's a common knowledge that the narrative being peddled is that a President elect must have at least, 25% in the FCT. You don't expect ChatGPT to think differently do you?
See, I'm a professional Software Engineer myself and I started out as a Data Science and Machine Learning. The AI was taught with information that are available.
I hope you know there's a disclaimer in ChatGPT?

Do you know that ChatGPT's knowledge is still limited to 2021 data? You think it is reading nairaland and twitter live? I don't care what your profession is, you clearly know very little about what chatgpt is. Stop embarrassing yourself.

I have asked it in a different way just to remove any doubt and focus on just the English. Here you go ❤️

PS: yes it could go to our court of law and I wouldn't be surprised if they rig the constitution too but the English language meaning is beyond clear DeOTR ❤️

KillSars:
People wey no get brain..

Simple interpretation

2/3 of 36 = 24

If peradventure, u dey tour all the whole 36 state and u no fit get 25% in some, na only 23state u fit get 25%, if u have 25% in FCT, u have fulfilled the requirement.... coz 23state + FCT will be allowed...

Dumbos...

You wrote complete nonsense with so much confidence. You do realise Nigeria has 36 states and if you add FCT to that it is 37? You thought Abuja was one of the 36?

And it is me that is the dumbo lol. Okay oh ❤️

pquaver:
Oga go and learn English.. The context of FcT is that it is like a state in Nigeria.. You and too look at where this has been used before.. 36 State and FcT that means FcT is like another state.. Simple interpretation is u have the chance to get 25% in 24 states from the possibility of 36 states and FcT..
So did Buhari make 25% in Abuja last time? Asking can't remember..

FCT is not a state. That is the fact. It has no gubernatorial elections or Governor. The president appoints a minister instead.

In English language you cannot group two different things like that. If you want to, you need to be more explicit.

duro4chang:
You are the one is worried not your friend. Taking panadol for tinubu's headache. We call tinubu game changer you think we are joking abi? Stop worrying yaself.

You're right sha. I am sure Tinubu can rig the constitution too. The man's corruption no get limit.

Anyone but APC ❤️

pquaver:

Yes he did

DeOTR:
You're asking ChatGPT that draws answers from most probably wrong submissions online?
Again, how does "25% in 2/3 of the 36 states and the FCT" translate to "25% in 2/3 of the 36 states and 25% in the FCT"?
This is the main reason why most people don't score up to 50% in English (UTME).

Chatgpt is an AI chatbot. Do you understand what that means? You clearly don't

If you have used it for anything complex you won't say the nonsense you just said lol

But let me see if I can help you understand simple English since you don't want to believe chatgpt:

My friend is in University. He has a course about the Nigerian Constitution.

The lecturer just told him that to pass the course I needs to get 25% in 2/3 of all his projects and his exam.

He has 36 projects. Does this mean he can pass in 25 projects but fail his exam and still pass the course?

Of course not. English is very simple. Projects and Exam are different things just like States and FCT are different. If you think that the people that wrote the constitution made a mistake that is your problem.

But the English is beyond clear. And chatgpt understands that.

You're welcome ❤️

My friend Tinubu is very worried that he cheated to pass 25 projects but failed his exam. He wants to know if he will pass the course

I even asked chatgpt and it says that he failed. Someone please help us

PS: Anyone but APC ❤️

pquaver:
It's clear FcT is like a state in Nigeria.. Nigeria has 36 states and the FcT meaning inclusive of FcT..

That section means FcT can be in ur 24 states u get ur 25 percent or u can can the 24 from other states..

What it means simply is u have 37 places to get your requirements of 25%.. 36 states and the FcT

If I tell you that you need to pass 50% of all you projects and your exam does that mean that you can fail your exam and still pass?

English is very simple. Projects and exam are different things just like states and FCT are different. FCT is not a state. It has no Governor or gubernatorial elections. The constitution is clear that FCT is not a state. If you think the people that wrote the constitution made a mistake that is your personal problem lol

But the English is very clear. Chatgpt understands English better than you ❤️

nonhuman:
in the case who and could be regarded as the two leading candidates

I don't even care. As long as APC loses lol

But from my count PDP have 25% in 19 states. LP have 25% in 17 states and 25% in FCT.

I have seen some people ask if it is the party that won the most states or the party that got 25% in the most states. Because LP are currently winning more states than PDP. I think it's the party with 25% in most states but needed to double check tbh

Anyone but APC ❤️

FatherOfJesus:
they should have just said 25 states or 24. Why then create confusion by adding FCT exclusively.

This place is very arguable and it might create rancour.

There is only one meaning in English. Ask Chatgpt. The dishonest people are just trying to rig the constitution as well.

We are in for a runoff

Anyone but APC ❤️

Despite all the scheming, they forgot to read the Nigerian constitution is English language lol. It's not like we didn't warn them.

For APC to win on the first ballot now, they will need to convince Nigerians to accept results where the Electoral Act was violated in many places and also convince Nigerians that the constitution written in plain English that requires the candidate with the highest votes to also get 25% in FCT actually means something else lol.

With this results I believe we will be having another election. Either a run-off or a redo.

Anyone but APC ❤️

PS: I love my Abuja people. I saw this coming from day one. You can check the receipts

FatherOfJesus:
APC second. PDP is a disgrace.

LP will be second in this election.

Anambra is yet to come

We need a bigger margin though

Mabizeka:
Nigeria is a failed state.

Only now? Lol

The worst federal government in the history of our country never fails to disappoint.

Free and fair elections was the final thing the president promised us and it has yet again been a monumental failure.

ProphetM0hammad:
It's not about what i want to hear or not
25% is not difficult for APC that has spent 8 years in aso rock

You would think so right?

Unfortunately APC spent 8 years giving us the worst federal government in the history of our country lol.

One LGA to go and it is likely to push APC below 25%

ProphetM0hammad:
It's not your fault
I blame the person that wrote that for not putting it in simpler terms

I don't know if it's angels that are in Abuja or the people living there have more electoral importance that's why you must get 25% there

Doesn’t matter. It’s what the constitution says in simple English.

But if you’re looking for an explanation it’s simple; Unlike other states FCT doesn’t have an elected governor or gubernatorial elections. The President appoints a minister that basically governs the state.

It makes sense that that president has to be moderately popular in the capital.

I know it’s not what you want to hear but the written sentence is clear and there’s a reasonable reason for it too. Hope this helps ❤️

This one is about to learn a lesson about the internet lol

NothingDoMe:
So? Abuja is a state. Does Abuja functioning as a state change the requirement? Did it change its name from FCT?

As long as 299 did not overwrite 134, then 134 still stands. Abuja is a state and still the Federal Capital. lol.

Why doesn’t Abuja have a Governor or gubernatorial elections if it’s a state lol

Ask Chatgpt lol

ProphetM0hammad:
Let me school you since you are struggling with English

It means you must have 25% in 24 states, including fct

That means if you have 25% in 23 states and you have 25% in fct, that's still a total of 24

You clearly don’t understand English lol.

Chatgpt was created for people like you. Use it bro it will enhance your life

I have even attached what it says for you again ❤️

source?

0monnak0da:
Guy you are not going to teach me English
Abuja is not listed as a state. But for the purpose of presidential election it's status is ELEVATED To that of a state which ordinarily it is not
You are entitled to your interpretation
That Buhari rigged election is irrelevant nonsense
This conversation is going nowhere

So can we close?

It is elevated probably because unlike Nigerian states, FCT has no gubernatorial election. It is the president that appoints the minister of FCT who basically governs the territory.

So it makes sense that a presidential candidate should be moderately popular there to win on the first ballot.

Workch:
As it stands.

According to constitution, winner must get 25% in FCT

Simple English but people prefer to read the constitution in their tribal language lol. Chatgpt to the rescue.

My FCT people are for anyone but APC ❤️

Upworkwriter007:
FCT is considered a state.

So why doesn't it have gubernatorial elections?

You want a candidate that scored less than 25% in FCT to appoint a minister that will essentially govern the territory?

God bless our constitution. Anyone but APC ❤️

Ylink4sure:
To say I am shocked and surprised by the relatively mild showing by Peter Obi in South-South states is an understatement. My 'Obidients' friends and colleagues are lost for words as we all anticipated same overwhelming results from South-East for Peter Obi in SS!

APC is on course for 35% of votes cast in SS while picking up House of reps and senatorial seats here and there! PDPs Atiku has even won a state!

This scenario has destroyed whatever hope or chances Peter Obi has, as his only chance was to force a run-off by winning most polls (popular vote) since he can't again obtain 25% of votes in 24 states again. His poor showing in the North was already making that impossible but a good showing in the SS plus the expected massive votes from SE was anticipated to give him a fighting chance but he failed.

So, Obidient folks it is game over!

It is advantaged Bola Ahmed Tinubu

He can force a runoff by shutting off APC in Abuja.

Anyone but APC ❤️

lhordspy:
Hmm. How many times will i school you guys today?

You dont need to get 25% in FCT to be president. FCT is considered a state in the constitution. You just need to have 25% in 24 states, including FCT or not. Then get majority vote across the nation, then you are good to go.

Even going by the screenshot you posted, it shows you dont even know what is 25% of total vote cast. If LP is having 111k votes as the leader, then the second 61k with one LGA to go. it means the total vote cast is not much.


Children just full this forum, reason why i spend more of my time on twitter these days

You and senatordave1 aka garfield1 need to stop reading the constitution in your tribal language. It is very clear.

If you're confused ask chatgpt

PS: Anyone but APC ❤️

Ibtxxo:
I am really disappointed in him.
Tinubu won his region with enough votes while Mumu Atiku couldn't win his region.
It is a very shameful thing.

Tinubu won one small corner of the south but you want Atiku to hold the whole north lol
