This is the reason why out of the three prayers PO is asking, two are 99% strong for any learned judge to toss the drug peddler out: 1. 25% exclusivity.. There is a conjunction in that clause, and the Supreme court has ruled on it years ago as told by Ex Atorney General Mike Aoodonka. also, Because FCT is not a state, that is why it was mentioned by name! 2. Prof Mahmood INEC left its own guidelines without telling or informing all parties as required by law. Las las, Tinubu would be disgraced internationally...... mark this words & he is going down with some Yorubans who the US States Department has started taking tabs on! Throwback: 1 Like |

SmartPolician:Sincerely, I'm shocked at that FCT 25% nonsense. Are they saying if you win in all 36% states of the Federation and refuse to get 25% in FCT then you shouldn't be declared President. Where's the sense in that. I'm surprised the use of "and" conjunction and concord in basic English is seriously causing problems for so-called senior lawyers. Somebody should please answer if these two scenarios are the same: There are 24 boys and 12 girls in a class. 1. I need two-third of the boys and girls in this class for a task. 2. I need two-third of the boys and two-thirds of the girls, in this class for a task. Then compare these scenarios with how that section in the constitution was written and see which one fit. There you have your answer. 1 Like |

Afonja2: They have use layman language to explain this issue to you. Our law state that for you to gain admission to the university, you must have credit in 5 subjects and English language. Hence if you have 8 credits and fail English , you will be denied admission because English language was specifically mentioned as a condition that must be met before gaining admission. In this case, FCT was specifically mentioned. A candidate has to get 25% in the FCT after getting 25% in 2/3 of the states of the Federation. The reason for this is that the FCT has no Governor. Hence the President appoints a minister that act as the Governor of FCT. Hence if the president does not get 25% in FCT, then he has no right to appoint the minister of FCT . In other words, such a person should not have been declared the president in the first place. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Afonja2:that's why it is the law another thing to note as earlier stated by comments in waec you need to have at least c grade in maths and English irrespective of how well you perform now why is Abuja so special? It is the seat of power and a president is also the administrator of the FCT since it does not have a governor, so while ruling over a nation, there is a territory that you rule from which is the FCT you don't have to win a majority just 25 percent, if you are that popular to get 2/3 of vote nationwide then it shouldn't be that difficult to get 25peecent in the FCT while getting 2/3 of national spread shows national acceptance 25percent of FCT also shows national acceptance since the FCT is like a mini Nigeria you have all the parastatals headquartered there and the quota system of the civil service that brings Nigerians from all ethnicity to the FCT I think the makers of the constitution meant 25percent in the FCT is mandatory considering the fact it is not so difficult to get if you can get 2/3 of national spread. 5 Likes |

Afonja2:There’s a reason why it is called the FCT. It is the melting point of the country, it should be the converging point of the nation, a place where all the tribes of the nation are aptly n well represented. So if you cannot get 25% in such a place , then you do not deserve to be made president….. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Obinoscopy: The learned silk was goading and prompting the INEC Chairman to go to court earlier and get a legal position from the Supreme Court so that this impasse can be averted (note that government apparatus can do this without costs to the entity) but because INEC had its own agenda, given the persons that appointed them and their belief in the infallibility of the rigging process, Mahmoud chose to ignore this ant infested wood, now it has come back to bite his azz. I am happy that this provides an opportunity to improve the jurisprudence and legislative interpretation of our laws. This will be an extension of 12 2/3rds of Awolowo Vs Shagari. 2 Likes |

Parachoko: Your emotions is already deceiving you. Abuja is a federal territory and has no elected ruler. The president acts as the defacto elected ruler since the presidential seat is in Abuja. Those that wrote the constitutional requirement are not stupid. They did in purpose since you can't administer over people that unanimously rejected you. That's why they stipulated that a presidential candidate MUST get at least 25% in Abuja. Tinubu must return that stolen mandate and there is nothing urchins can do about it. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Re: FCT 25% Requirement: Olisa Agbakoba Saw This Coming by CharleyBright(m): 9:12am On Mar 22, 2023 |
The reason for that FCT clause was to ensure the importance of the FCT as the capital and the seat of power in governance. Hence, any winner of the Presidential election must secure at least 25% votes in the FCT to ensure that his govt is acceptable to some extent in the state capital. That is the true interpretation of that aspect of the electoral law. Tinubu failed to meet that requirement. Personally, I don't even trust the electoral court to interpret that law in it's true sense because they will try to avoid throwing the country into chaos if they say it the way it is and nullify Tinubu. What I perceive is they will turn blind eyes and let Tinubu and then the NASS will later try to amend that aspect of the law to remove the FCT clause. But that spells injustice for the voters 2 Likes |

SmartPolician:Sometimes I just wonder, is Obi employing people as dumb as him? I was explaining him to include in his petition concrete evidence of rigging and electoral malpractices against his party ot at least voters suppression. Instead it is BAT and Shettima aren't qualified and their votes cancelled. No 25% in FCT. Such cheap and very watered petition. Obi fit don collect money abeg. If you can trust a business man, you should trust a politician too Last last is what happened is that Obi lost squarely. He lost the North, Southwest, North Central barely took south south. |
