I don't know why there is too much aguement about this simple statement, now if I may ask, if I happened to be a member of the mba and l am throwing a party and I ask the organizer to invite at least 24 members AND the cjn, if the organizer comes back without the cj, did he do the job as directed?, I don't think so

Your wasting your time. Tinubu is Nigeria's next president. All this anology is nothing but academics.

my friend, am not against tinubu's presidency as it has happened, being a Nigerian, I know how our judicial system works, but that does not mean that we should not tell ourselves the truth

There is no truth in your analogy. It's faulty.

Anytime I see people arguing this 25%, I always remember one guy for my street that year wey kolomental. Colos on colos on colos.

As a Tinubu supporters, I’ll rather go and be using basket to collect rain water than invest my time in arguing with any Obi supporters about 25%.

It’s akin to someone arguing with me that Legendhero is not my moniker

BRIMBRAM:

how faulty?

Because of the variables you have used in your comparism in relation to the function and definition of democracy with respect to Nigeria's Constitution.

oyichi:

Sing after me. Colos on colos on colos.

If I argue 25% with anyone make I bend.

When I first heard the 25% nonsense, I thought Obiidients are just trolling normally but when I see that some of them actually believed Abuja people have two head, I stop arguing and started singing colos on colos.

Even the mad man that advised Peter Obi that year can’t believe such nonsense.

And FCT, it says.

Purpose; If a candidate gets 25% in 23 states and is able to gather 25% in FCT in addition, the candidate has satisfied the required spread. To buttress this, same constitution says FCT should be considered as a state for the purpose of election.

But clowns are trying to turn this straightforward statement to mean 25% in FCT is a requirement.

Illiterates everywhere.

Bro this is not illiteracy anymore, it is mental problem.

People are actually running mental and they don’t know about it. This election have dealt with a lot of people mental health and the crazy thing is that they don’t know they have mental impairment.

If it’s the USA, they would have done a research to know the effect of election on people mental well-being. I come dey pity Tinubu, he is inheriting the highest number of mentally imbalanced Nigerians since 1960.

I actually wish I see Hero beer where I’m at now because my country men are running mental everyday and it’s really a sad thing for me so I need alcohol to take away the pain.

Why would any sane person believe Abuja people have 2 heads?

so, words has different meaning when it comes to the judiciary or is it just the Nigerian factor?

Is it winning 25% of two-thirds of the states of the federation and 25% of the FCT or winning 25% of two-thirds of the states of the federation and winning the FCT?

These examples you people are using are senseless. So Abuja has veto powers in a Presidential election. Does that sound like what a reasonable person would say?

Even with simple logic, their brains are completely blocked. Ask them what makes FCT residents special, they tell you because that is the capital. Was Lagos state given same special status in 1979 and 1983 elections? Wasn't Lagos state the federal capital then?

Words don't have different meaning in the judiciary. It's well defined without ambiguity.

I’m even thinking of something, since Abuja people have two heads, do you know where I can borrow like 60billion to buy the votes of 80% of Abuja people in 2027 such that no other candidate except me with have 25% and above in Abuja.

If the other candidate like, they should have 100% in all the 36 states of the federation, so far they don’t have 25% in Abuja, they are not winning anything.

After the election, I will carry my bag relocate to Afghanistan, una no go get any elected president again for this Nigeria.

It is not a veto it is simple

To be a governor of a state you must score 25% in two thirds of the LGA

The president is effectively the governor of FCT hence he must score 25% in FCT just like a governor has to as well

Is it clear

Do you know how stupid you are forced to sound trying to explain something so simple to retarded minds? Like you said, Section 299 already cleared how Abuja should be interpreted. But Obidients (Kenneth Okonkwo and Chris Nwaokobia Mustapha) are insisting the President must get 25% in Abuja to be popular there since he'd live there. They claim the President is the Governor of Abuja. They claim 25% and not outright majority is what determines your popularity in Abuja.

Now, I don't know where you live, but are you popular as a prerequisite to live there?

Please resist the urge to get into arguments with shallow people over the 25% matter in Abuja. Do not drag yourself to the level of idiots in order not to be counted among them.

You literarily want to take pan-and-dull for another man's headache? Lolz... The irony here is that those thought to be mad are different from those taking the pills for mental stability.

Funny enough, some of them will tell you because the president is the governor of the country's capital? Was Shehu Shagari the governor of Lagos State in 1979? Did Shagari win Lagos state?

That interpretation that the President is effectively the governor if FCT is a load of horseshit. FCT has no governor. At least the constitution does not recognize one.

Section 299 said Abuja should be treated like a state. Therefore, if you meet 25% in 23 states and 25% in Abuja, it counts that you met the 25% in 24 states. If by your argument, the constitution says 25% of 36 states and 25% of Abuja, that means it is asking you for two-thirds of 37 administrative units.

The fact that two-thirds of 37 does not give you a whole number is even a bigger problem than what many of you think which is what caused a legal tussle between Chief Richard Akinjide on the one hand and Professor Chike Obi, Professor Ayodele Awojobi and Professor Godwin Ajayi.

So I ask you: is two-third of 37= 24 or 25? Many of you are gleefully unaware of the waters you are swimming in.

The fct is regarded as a state for electoral purposes, so if you say 36 states and the fct it means the fct is included.

It's like saying to your foreman: Bring at least 24 men to my house from the list of 36 factory workers we have and our Gateman.

The Gateman is included because he is also a man but he is not a factory worker.

If the foreman comes to your house with 24 out of the 36 factory workers and leaves the Gateman behind because the Gateman could not come, has the foreman done his job or not?

I am really shocked at their level of desperation. President=governor of FCT. How can a sane person rationalize that?

They have their biases and use emotions to support their leanings without logic. Supreme Court will clear them that no state or territory has veto powers in a presidential election.
