Meaning Of 25% Of 2/3 States And FCT by Usefulsense: 7:57pm On Feb 28, 2023 |
It beats my imagination on how majority of educated Nigerians failed to interprete the phrase ...25% of 2/3 of the states and Abuja.. Even a secondary school student who is good in English language will be able to interprete the meaning of this phrase. In its simplest form, the phrase means 25% of 2/3 of 36 states plus 25% of Abuja. While some lawyers have stated that section 299 of the 1999 constitution as amended made Abuja a state. This is fallacy. Even if Abuja is made a state by section 299, the mere mention of FCT Abuja means that you must obtain 25% in the 'state' called Abuja. APC should not rejoice yet as the third condition for being declared winner wad never met. The conditions are: A. You must have majority of the votes B. You must have at least 25% in 2/3 of 36 States, and C. You must obtain 25% of votes in the 'state' called FCT, Abuja. 11 Likes |

Usefulsense:Haha good argument. Abuja is a state we agree but electoral law said you must get 25% from "Abuja state". Na so Obi gave new meaning to " four year tenure" and disrupted the election calendar. He will do it again 3 Likes 1 Share |

Usefulsense: You're intelligent and capable of critical thinking. PROLOG (PROgramming LOGic) can easily analyse those conditions and arrive at a conclusion. But I'm sorry to say that most Nigerians (including most of our lawyers and judges) ain't that intelligent. |
