Brendaniel:Infact, if FCT is not treated as a state, any votes you get from there is a waste.. For law to recognize any election in Nigeria, it needs to hold in a state. This is why FCT is made 37th state during election. So that any votes you secure from there won’t be a waste. That’s why. Nothing else.. 15 Likes 3 Shares |

priceactionx: It is true that in Nigerian courts, anything can happen. Moreso, cases are mostly not won based on merits but technicalities. However, your analogy here with due respect is off point. Falana was wise by saying there are Court decisions already and that he will not give a specific answer because he knows it can swing any side. One of the court decisions about fct was 2008 instituted by Buhari. The supreme court declared that 25% "AND FCT" shall be treated conjectively, meaning it's a must for you to get 25% in FCT to be president. Let's see how the crop of supreme court justices will do this time. 3 Likes |

telleyway:I hope it will breed a fresh judgement but I doubt it if it will go against APC and the election will be cancelled for a rerun. They will turn the country upside down and politicians will use citizens against themselves which will likely lead to anarchy especially when buhari is out of government. It will still be decided by technicalities imho. Nigeria is so complex. Everyone including the judges are saving their head. The higher numbers of judges might weigh all options and hold on to a fault that might likely favour the ruling party. My submission. Let's see how it goes. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

GeneralPula: Like I said you guys don't pay attention to details, if FCT was regarded a state, they wouldn't need to write it, go and read the constitution, anywhere they write in all the states, they will include and the FCT, Abuja. Because the constitution does not see Abuja as a state, so if it is not included in writing, then it has automatically been excluded from any benefits the states are getting, ask yourself why Abuja is the only location that is written in that constitution, the constitution did not even specify the number of states either, it just said all the states, if Abuja was considered a state, they wouldn't need to write and the FCT, Abuja again. It is like a man who has five boys and a girl, and he says share my money among all the boys and the girl, can you say because he included the girl to be given something from his money then she has automatically become a boy by that virtue? No she remains a girl, the man knows that if he says share among all the boys then the girl automatically has lost out if he is not specific to include the girl, but does that change the status of that girl to a boy? 1 Like |

Brendaniel:From your analogy. If the man didn't add the girl, it means the girl is blank to the money sharing.. Same goes for the FCT. If FCT isn't added among states during elections, it means voting can't be happening in Abuja because any votes you get from there is a waste. It won't be recognize under the law.. 16 Likes 4 Shares |

It’s ridiculous that we have to be explaining this part of the law every election year since 1999. What is wrong with people? There are many court references already. Is it that people are ignorant, or politicians knowingly twist things to brainwash their illiterate and delusional followers? Because what is this explanation every four years? 7 Likes 1 Share |

I hope Peter Obi's lawyers and FCT residents are seeing this? If these people are saying FCT is now suddenly treated as a state during elections then, FCT must be given the right to choose their Governor, House of Assembly members, House of Representatives members, additional 2 senators and other privileges they've been denied. 2 Likes |
