APC will do same. So you know, LP won in Rivers and Benue State, and so many reduction Vote in LP(Which is visible to the Blind because they have no party Structure/Governor to rig any State). If Only Inec is neural and does the Right Things. And if Truly APC won 2/3 of the State and lost FCT (leaving other Court Case Issues) Then there Should be a rerun between APC and (LP or PDP) according to the Constitution. So you know INCE always account for a rerun in their budget femicyrus: |

OredoPikin:"25 percent in 36 States and The FCT." If you are not being political and mischievous, how can you call this statement clear as crystal? A clause that has caused so many disagreements between erudite SANs for many years? Even till today lawyers are still battling about it, and you say clear as crystal! Guy you are being mischievous. God knows I want the election annulled, but the truth it that that clause is highly highly highly ambiguous and controversial. The way it is written in the constitution, it could mean both ways. Only the Supreme Court will decide which way they want it to be. |

joseph032:What is the purpose of this constitutional provisions? Is it not for national spread? 29/37 and 16/37, which one carried a better spread of votes? So if a candidate got 25% in 36 states without FCT yet got the highest number of total votes, he should be subjected to a rerun with a candidate with 25% in FCT alone? What exactly is FCT then? A federating unit not big enough to have a governor but a Minister |

Newton2024: What i want u to understand is the and.. To clear ambuiguity the framers make distinction.. Since fct is a federating unit but not a state, it is assumed to be by virtual of section 299.. So that is why u are taught in school state and capital... U have 36 states and the FCT abuja.. So the 25% of 2/3 of the fedeating units of Nigeria... That is what that part refers to and it is clear.. |

“After the 2003 elections, Buhari called for the cancellation of the election since Obasanjo failed to win in FCT but it was resolved that winning the FCT is not mandatory but having 25% in FCT is very mandatory. https://jkcyno.com/buhari-vs-obasanjo-supreme-court-decision-over-25-in-fct/ Supreme Court ruling.

If you go to "Mama put" and you tell the woman to put *Rice AND beans* for you. she passes the plate to you and you saw only rice please what will be your response? With your answer to the question above also tell me why your number 1 with "AND FCT" isn't mandatory? tesppidd: There's a school my childhood friend attended "Command Day Secondary school Enugu" I was in their house when she came home with her first term result/report sheet. Eight ( subjects was in her report sheet including English and Maths. She Aced 7 of the subjects including English but had D in Maths. Guess what? "FAILED" with a red pen was written on her Result sheet because the rules of the school is that you will pass 5 of the subjects (either get A, B, or C grade) including English AND Maths. 1 Like |

OredoPikin:so if u can fail to meet required election constitution n u win only Abuja that means u can b declared president? That means a candidate can lose 35 states n win just Abuja n b declared president? That means a candidate can win all 35 states n lose only Abuja n still lose d election? Meaning only Abuja votes decides d president Then y did voting occur in other states? Y not just vote in Abuja n d winner becomes d president? Then what is d essence of having 25% in 24 states n having majority votes when one person will lose all n win only Abuja n b declared d president |

Sharpsharp00123: If ONLY Abuja like you said was won by a candidate then the candidate failed very well and therefore lost the election. However the constitution said "For a candidate to be declared a winner, he or she MUST win 25% in 24 states out of 36 states "AND" FCT 1 Like |

helinues: Office Boss: Give #10m to 5 people and helinues Agbado messenger: Yes sir. (Agbado messenger went to call five people and gave them #10m without including helinues and came back to office boss) Office boss: welcome Agbado messenger Agbado messenger: Thank you sir Office boss: have you delivered my message? Agbado messenger: Yes sir (Office boss takes his phone and calls helinues to confirm whether he got the message, helinues said nobody gave him anything o. With annoyance, office boss turned to Agbado messenger) Office boss: helinues said you didn't give him anything. Agbado messenger: sir but you said 5 people. I gave it to 5 people, must helinues be part of them? Office boss: i knew there were more than 5 people but i mentioned helinues for a reason. This shows you lack common sense and for that reason, you cannot continue to work here. You are fired!! 1 Like 1 Share |

Guestlander:you are still not getting it. you must have 25% in FCT and 24 other states. having it in FCT without 24 other states is not enough having it in 36 states without FCT is also not enough Why not just go and write English and Mathematics and forget about other subjects before seeking admission in University? |
Re: 25% In FCT Is A Must by Guestlander: 10:51am On Jul 18, 2023 |
OredoPikin: You are not explaining why it is not enough to win in all the 36 states in Nigeria and still not win because you couldn't get 25% in the FCT. Are there more Nigerians living in the FCT? Are the votes in the FCT more special than the rest of the country? |
