Tribunal Must Rule Against Tinubu Or Suspend The Constitution by shortgun(m): 6:15pm On Jul 17, 2023 |
Tinubu's lead counsel Wole Olanipekun based his argument on section 299 of the constitution in his final written address in defence of the 25% requirement in F.C.T. which states that F.C.T should be treated as any other state of the federation. I also see a lot of Tinubu supporters on this forum echoing the same position but what they don't know is that the same section 299 they love to quote will be used to sack Tinubu. Here's the complete section: Section 299. The provisions of this Constitution shall apply to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja as if it were one of the States of the Federation; and accordingly - (a) all the legislative powers, the executive powers and the judicial powers vested in the House of Assembly, the Governor of a State and in the courts of a State shall, respectively, vest in the National Assembly, the President of the Federation and in the courts which by virtue of the foregoing provisions are courts established for the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja; (b) all the powers referred to in paragraph (a) of this section shall be exercised in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution; and (c) the provisions of this Constitution pertaining to the matters aforesaid shall be read with such modifications and adaptations as may be reasonably necessary to bring them into conformity with the provisions of this section. The "AND" that is preceding "accordingly" in section 299; is it interpreted as conjunctive? or as disjunctive ? If it's interpreted as conjunctive then F.C.T should have a governor and a state legislature just as every other state of the federation. if it's interpreted as disjunctive then section 299 only applies to the administration of the F.C.T, it's legislature and the composition of it's courts as outlined in section 299(a,b and c) and has no bearing with it's status for presidential election, can't be interpreted as the 37th state ;meaning a presidential candidate most secure 25% of votes cast in the F.C.T to be declared winner.

Once Obi secures his mandate, all security personnel will have to be up and doing with excessive fitness. One thing for sure is he won't leave anything to chance. That one is the head of any parastatal will never give them opportunity to rest on their oars because Okwute can just breeze in and take stock at any time. Since he prefers to move about with small fanfare and Entourage, one can be taken unawares. The people I pity most are his personal guards. He already has a receptive stance towards people and wouldn't tolerate any brutal force on them. One wonders how those personal guards will manage the organic crowds that swells around him whenever he makes a public appearance π 11 Likes 1 Share |

Everything Peter Obi and Atiku brought against the court have been ruled on previously. They just have money for a fake circus and to deceive the gullible into killing themselves. The case will be dismissed as it has no grounds, evidence or proof that Peter Obi or Atiku won. So, stop deceiving yourself OP and face reality. Let Peter Obi go and use his own kids for protest and human shield. Heβs only deceiving you by this fake show! 4 Likes |

Labour party tendered reports including election scores analysis and statistical investigation on the votes scored by the candidates in the presidential election The above is the reason labour party called a professor of mathematics as witness...
