Femi Falana Misquoted About FCT 25% Requirements by NothingDoMe: 2:29pm On Feb 28, 2023 |
Tensions are high at this point and we must be careful about the way we disseminate information. Falana never said 25% in the FCT was not a requirement to emerge president. He was talking about winning the FCT. Legal luminary, Femi Falana says a presidential candidate does not need to win the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to be declared winner of the February 25, 2023 poll.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.channelstv.com/2023/01/24/winning-fct-not-requirement-to-emerge-president-falana/amp/ This caption is mischievous and misleading : www.nairaland.com/7589922/25-fct-not-requirement-emerge. Nairlanders are responsible for what they post on this Forum. Never forget that. Cc Seun, nlfpmod Mynd44 8 Likes |

NothingDoMe: Falana is absolutely right! If winning in just a tiny part of the country is a prerequisite then that is not democracy. Democracy is a government with the mandate of the majority of voters. 12 Likes 2 Shares

Falana was just trying to be clever by half... he talked about 25% for 24 state and then switch to outright winning FCT as not part of the requirements. The constitution is very specific here ...it mentioned the name FCT Abuja. ... the ONLY place mentioned. 3 Likes |

VoteTinubu2023:You can't say or when there's no provision for it in the constitution. Conjunctions play a huge role in the law. Section 134 of the constitution states that a candidate will be declared winner of a presidential election if he has “(a) he has the majority of votes cast at the election; and (b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. Falana never spoke about this. Maybe you need to go and ask him to make another statement concerning the 25%. Remember that the law is the law and INEC must abide by the constitution. 7 Likes |

NothingDoMe: He already addressed it when he said the FCT is regarded as a state. Which means the FCT as no special status and is no different from any other state in the federation. As long as he gets the majority vote and 25% in 25 States in the federation, he is good to go. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Balogunodua:Two different things. Lol. That's why I also said 299 does not overwrite 134. 299 did not end the FCT status of Abuja. It didn't say Abuja shall cease to be FCT and become a state. It said "as if it were" a state. Therefore section 134 is still valid because Abuja is still the FCT. Wicked Constitution 😄😄😄 2 Likes |
