With due respect. Prof is a dull man.

Prof. Let me ask you. What is the essence of the election when all it takes to fail is 'not make' 25% in FCT?

It means even though you win the entire 36 states with 98%, and garner over 34billion votes across the states. Not getting 25% in FCT means another election of 300bn will be re-conducted.

All it takes is political actors without any road to victory or path to majority votes, making sure they block any body from getting 25% in FCT; by crook or hook. Because they know even 25billion votes cant safe anyone.

All it takes is political parties focusing on FCT only and giving middle fingers to the other states. They can even try importing people from 36 states into FCT just to vote and scuttle the opposition impending victory

People like Sowore and others who know they cant win will just campaign only in FCT, bribe the residents and make sure the votes are split. Then we will keep repeating election till thy-kingdom-come without president.

As a Prof,e make sense? Is this logical?

Don't mind some illiterates, I have asked them on several occasions to tell me why should Abuja has such priority when almost 98% of elected officials working in Abuja are known to travel to their respective constituency during election period, but no one has been able to give me the answer, maybe the indigenous people of FCT have liquid gold flowing in their veins which makes them different from other Nigerians.

True

The beauty of the law is that it is subject to plethoras of interpretations. Do not call the man "dull" for seeing it from another perspective.

Anyways, I totally agree with your view.

ablejesus26:


Treat Paul AS IF HE were a girl does not makes Paul a girl in natural clause of reasoning.

The electoral law says Win 24 AND the FCT.
This gives the FCT a special recognition.

Let's cross our fingers and watch how things unfold.

Keep deceiving yourself, it is your prerogative, same way we told you before the election, that Apga Judas/Pdp runaway Peter Gringory Obi is wasting his time, yet till date, you are still in denial?

After the Supreme Court is done with Atiku & Obi, you will find another reason of denial to continue deceiving yourself, probably then you would remember that you are not actually a Nigerian.

your analysis is wrong its imposible to be popular in four region and not be popular in FCT this indication just show clearly that Tinubu did not win but rigged the election. In FCT you find the SS, SE, SW, NC, NE, NW atleast the vote of SW, NC, NW and NE that live in Abuja should give him 25percent if he actually won those region but because no structure in Abuja it was difficult to win for any one that Rigged election. Tinubu losing Kano, Rivers, Lagos, Plateau, Anambra which are like the Capital of those region including FCT is a clear indication that he did not win but rigged the election

Have you been to Abuja before?

Guaranteed, you will hate Nigeria 10x more, after the Supreme Court gives its ruling.

Just sorry for you people.

the answer is simple Abuja has no structure so it cant be rigged easily moreso Abuja is a small Nigeria where you have every region present at almost proportion NC, NW NE, SW SE and SS so its imposible to be popular in this region without been popular in the FCT

This is what we studied in Jss 3 social studies, Nigeria is based on popular/majority votes, & winning 25% in 2/3 of 37 states, not the electoral college system practiced in the United States.

i have been to Abuja time without number just like Lagos when Lagos was the state capital. The truth remain that Tinubu Rigged the election. That of Rivers is enough evidence for you that Tinubu rigged other will be expose in the court. Why is Apc afraid of live broadcast of the Tribunal if they are sure the won? Why are they afraid that the case should be determine before may 29th if they actually won?

We have our version of an electoral college; it is called the FCT, and a candidate for the presidency of the federal republic must get 25 percents of votes cast in this location to meet the constitutional requirement. Please marry that fact.

Well welcome to Nigeria, if Tinubu rigged the election like you claimed, then Peter Obi & Co, should forget winning in court & move on with what is left of their lives, because the Courts have already been long manipulated before the election was conducted.

You think it is possible in the Federal Republic of Nigeria to go against INEC, Tinubu & Wike with the backing of the Federal Government, & win in any court of competent jurisdiction within the Federal Republic of Nigeria, home of the fantastically corrupt?

You are on Nairaland right now, best believe the judges are on the phone after one & another with Bola Tinubu, asking for 1 favor or the other.

Fct can be treated AS a State it says, that does not relegate FCT to a State especially in electoral laws.

Don't blame the prof rather blame national assembly for making such law. The law must stand unless amended

I am just perplexed that even a professor will have issue with interpretation of just common English language.
Now I understand that people judgement can be marred with emotion.
Now let's go back to how to form a simple sentence.
For you to win a election you have to have 2/3 of all the states
Abia, kogi, yobe, adamawa, Kaduna, Lagos, ogun, osun and Abuja (FCT)
But with common sense the people that drafted the constitution note that instead of listing the state name by name the just said all the states and FCT. That is the listing above and FCT.
Now let me come back to simple analogy.
Among these 36women and 1 teenager you can only marry 2/3 of the women.
Now I want to list all the 36 women. And the teenager.
I may just summarize the listing as 36women and 1 teenager.
The statement doesn't mean I must have the 1 teenager to win, but if I included the teenager is part of 2/3 that I must chose.

LeoDeKing:

Tinubu's portrait will soon adorn offices of all formal organisations in Nigeria, SE inclusive. Infact any igwe or eze should attempt not hanging Tinubu's portrait in his parlour and see what happens afterwards.
