Elementary Analysis Of 25% In The FCT Requirement by alsudan: 3:43am On Mar 01, 2023 |
A Tourist visits Nigeria and plans on Visiting 24 States in Nigeria and the FCT. Will the Tourist have completed his/her tour if he/she visited 23 States and the FCT or 24 or even 30 States without the FCT? The FCT is clearly a priority place on the list of the tourist who intends to visit Abuja and any other of the 24 States in Nigeria. |

The writers of the constitution made a mistake in wording. What they wrote meant one must have 25% in FCT. What they meant to write (which is common sense) is that FCT (though much smaller than a state) is to be considered equal to a state in the calculation. Otherwise, if one must have 25% in FCT you'd produce a situation where a small group of people can hold the nation hostage simply by focusing all their resources in sewing up the FCT! 1 Like |

PoliteActivist: You are right... In addition, The FCT in the constitution is to be regarded as a state. In terms of the election, A candidate for the presidential race would be declared the winner if he/she has the majority votes and has at least 25% vote in 2/3 of the 36 states in Nigeria. + The FCT . Note: The FCT was of importance here ! Now falana having said that 25% of FCT is not must... Then the constitution would have been... A candidate for the presidential race would be declared the winner if he/she has the majority votes and at least 25% vote in 2/3 of the 37 states in Nigeria. So falana was wrong in the judgement. |

Thedon22: Are you not reading this thread at all? According to the wording of the constitution he has not been elected because he did not get 25% in FCT. They have to re-word the constitution for him to be declared elected |

AbdulMagaji: The constitution should have said: A candidate for the presidential race would be declared the winner if he/she has the majority votes and at least 25% of the votes in 2/3 of the 37 states (With FCT counted as a state) But then ⅔ of 37 is not a whole number! |

Seems he has been declared the winner PoliteActivist: |
Re: Elementary Analysis Of 25% In The FCT Requirement by Nobody: 5:04am On Mar 01, 2023 |
PoliteActivist: But the constitution specifically mentioned FCT. So even if Tinubu wins in 30 states and didn't get 25% in FCT he shouldn't be declared the winner. |

AbdulMagaji: You are right of course. It runs counter to common sense, but that's exactly the wording of the constitution |
