25% In FCT Is A Must by OredoPikin: 6:38pm On Jul 17, 2023 |
I usually laugh when I read and listen to APC supporters trying to twist the constitution to suit their agenda. I have even see some people saying if FCT is that mandatory, then candidates should focus in FCT and forget other statesπ very laughable and dumb argument. The constitution is written in plain English and not Latin or Chinese. You must have 25% in 2/3 of the states and FCT Again, you must have 25% in 24states and the FCT before you can be declared a president The abracadabra hurriedly carried out by INEC must be annulled 28 Likes 3 Shares |

1. 25 percent in 2/3 of the States and The FCT. 2. 25 percent in 2/3 of the States and In the FCT. 3. 25 percent in 2/3 of the States and 25 percent in The FCT. Bearing in mind that Abuja is not called a State, It is called The FCT. So to be honest I think that 2 and 3 above mean the same thing while 1 is different. Number 1 means that The FCT is not mandatory while both 2 and 3 mean that The FCT is mandatory. How is it written in the constitution? I have not read it... 10 Likes 3 Shares |

OredoPikin:24 States and The FCT. In Nigeria, FCT is never written or spoken of, as a State. If it were, then the law would have been stated simply as "in 24 States". Am not a Tinubu supporter but honestly my own interpretation is 24 States are required, with or without The FCT. I hope I am wrong anyway. 5 Likes |

LOVEALAIGBO: You are an illiterate. 1 is different from 2 and 3. Nigeria is known to be comprised of 36 states and FCT, so if a statistic is required from the sample population that is all of Nigeria, it would read that all the states and FCT because the FCT is part of Nigeria. So 25% in 2/3 of Nigeria is 25% in all the states and FCT. That is 36 states and FCT, totalling to 37 units from which 25% is required from 2/3. If there was a comma before AND as written below, 25% in 2/3 of all states, and FCT That would be the same as number 3 written by Tesppidd. 8 Likes 1 Share |

OP, It is clearly a MUST. Don't mind these Deluded APC dingBATS yarning dust! ππ Those who Drafted the constitution are Smart Legal minds, Not Agberos or Sit@home Corn eaters!π 25% in FCT means Abuja is Cosmopolitan and has IGBOS, Yorubas, Tivs, Idomas, Urhobos, Ibibios, Idomas, Efiks, Ijaws, Edos, etc So,Hence A Major Presidential candidate in Nigeria shouldn't Fail WOEFULLY in such a place.π 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Newton2024: Don't mind them. They want to stand logic on its head. If you use PROgramming LOGic (PROLOG) to analyse the statement, what it will translate to is 25% in 2/3 of the states AND 25% in the FCT. 3 Likes |

johannu: What has programming logic got ot do with a geographical description of Nigeria as being 36states and FCT? Does the and before the FCT mean it is set apart from Nigeria, besides the fact that it is not a state? Is Nigeria not comprising 36 states and FCT? So if you need to refer to 2/3 of Nigeria, is it not 2/3 of 36States and FCT? The law states 25% in 2/3 of all states and FCT. Is that not the totality of Nigeria as the sample area? 2 Likes |

Throwback: You probably don't know the meaning of illiterate! Whereas YOU may not be a illiterate.....you're the next worse thing! Yes, Nigeria comprises 36 states and the FCT! Your problem is you don't know when to use the highlighted statement.....it all depends on the point you're trying to make....the context! The example of JAMB and the requirement to get credits in english and maths have been overflogged on this section, so i wouldn't belabour the issue! Just to add that when you say Nigeria comprises 36 states and the FCT, you're explaining the component parts that make up Nigeria and there isn't a need to apportion anything or make a distinction....you're just telling us what component parts make up the whole and these parts are not all similar in character! However, the use of AND changes when you're giving a requirement to achieve before getting a reward as it were.....just like with JAMB requirements! We're agreed that we're talking of the component parts of Nigeria and we're also agreed the FCT is different from the other 36 in its governance structure.....its reason for existence....and its use to the country as a whole! In certain aspects, the FCT would be treated as if it were a state....implying that in other aspects, it will stand and be treated distinct from the 36 states of the country! Unless you can point to a part of the constitution where it states 'in all aspects of politics, elections and governance, the FCT will be treated same as with the 36 states of Nigeria'! The comma is just used as a pause between parts of a sentence or to separate items on a list. It's of no significance in this argument. What's of significance is the use of AND and INCLUDING: AND makes the FCT stand as distinct from the 36 states.....INCLUDING joins the FCT, though distinct, with the 36 states! The latter is what your argument alludes to. Had the framers of the constitution been thinking your way, they would have said, '....a candidate must get 25% of the vote in 2/3 of 36 states of Nigeria including the FCT'! They used AND knowing 25% in the FCT is mandatory as it's different in character and governance from the 36 states of Nigeria, being the only component unit that's home to ALL Nigerians and which has the President as its Governor! |
