JuanDeDios:

Which constitution? 25% of Abuja indeed. Next presidential candidates should focus on Abuja and ignore other states. When a group of people decide they can't read basic English and understand but will rather go a for LAUGHABLE interpretation that no court anywhere in the world will agree with, it's called mass hysteria.

You are introducing a red herring into the debate. Abuja indigenes are not demanding presidential candidates should focus on Abuja and ignore other states. What they are demanding is that the person holding the political office of their governor should have at least 25% of their votes, else there should be a run off. That way the governor (in the guise of the appointee of the president) will campaign for their votes and not ignore them in decision making.

That decision of the PEPC if upheld by the supreme court will have serious long term implications for Abuja and thus Nigeria as a whole.

OGHENAOGIE:
stepping down for who? Even if Atiku don't contest obi won't get the ticket 2027 a Northerner ll still fly PDP flag even if not Atiku... Even in America Washington DC isn't a state so don't expect fct to be a state...

If A northerner fly the flag again, he would fail.

And for the records, Washington DC has a governor.

Google it.

Mombebe:





You're at most the most brainless and dirty entity alive,if you can't see pass your dumb and bias nose.
Interpret 2/3 majority of all the votes cast in the general election and 25% votes in the FCT as written in the Nigerian electoral act as amended.

Are you a human or a figment of someone's imagination?
Keep fooling yourself coward. When you are ready you will insult me with your real account

legitnow1:



I SAID, APC WILL PUSH THE COUNTRY TO BREAKING POINT AND BREAK IT.



THEN, U WILL SEE THEM, HEAD TO RETIREMENT TO REST.



U SEE THE TYPE OF PROBLEMS TINUBU IS CREATING?

The owners of Abuja Land have been watching how billions upon billions has been made over there Land

Honestly if they wake up as it seems they are doing

It will be a very big wahala for the Federal Government

ElSudani:
The original inhabitants of the FCT were relocated. So, who are these indigenes?

Weren't Lagos' too........?!
Where by the way......2nd base jare

Ezewuzie01:
Sounds like propaganda until the case is actually instituted. FCT residents don't have two heads to be hold veto power over other citizens of Nigeria. Their case will be thrown out. All the justices of the appeal and supreme courts are indigenes of certain states and you can take it to the bank that none of them will ever accept the wrong interpretation that voters in their own states are inferior to FCT residents.

Your type would still be lying, even if you find yourself in hell.

casualobserver:


Like I said go and read the land use act and the FCT act. You clearly haven’t because if you did and you had any shame or intelligence you will not have responded or responded in the manner you did.

The reason why you buffooons always lose cases in court is you argue from a point of view of sentiment not law.

Contrary to what your contemporaries tell you, research and reading does not kill.

I should be saying the same thing to you. You deliberately twist facts to suit your agenda and resort to tantrums when you are called out on it.

I doubt you have read the land act if not you won't be displaying your ignorance here. Oh well, that's the hallmark of Apc

tinktanker:
Yes, it's necessary. Since PEPC claims its like every other state,then they need senators and a governor and local govt and chairmen

It's for the purpose of presidential election since all Nigerians are equal before the Law and Constitution of Nigeria.

Have you seen any democracy in the world where residents of a particular place have overriding voting power over the rest of the citizen?

Not even in USA where we copied presidential system from. Even with the US Electoral College, none has the voting power to nullify or veto the rest of the country.

Let it be tested by the Supreme Court.

ElSudani:
The original inhabitants of the FCT were relocated. So, who are these indigenes?

Can u listen to your self,you just proved that FCT has a special status

HarryGleb:
Way to go. Since Abuja doesn't have any special status then they should have what other states have. Those injustices have set a bad precedent.

Something that is explicitly written into the Constitution?

Why do people enjoy all these sentimental wastes of time? These things are simple English. Abuja is not a State but should not be treated inferior or superior to States. End of matter. Is that complex?

Heavy fines await these ones and their lawyers.

ElSudani:


Then sue the Federal government. I am only presenting the facts.

Which is what they have started doing

You can't posses there Land and be making billions and trillions from there Land and you expect them to sit down and watch it

They are already going to Court

Past Senator representating FCT Philip Aduda is an FCT indigene

They are waking up and have well enlightened people among them now

I know some of them personally

IF U ARE NOT DAFT, U WILL KNOW THAT NIGERIA PRESIDENT WITH, MINIMUM 25% VOTE, BECOMES GOVERNOR OF FCT AND APPOINTS FCT MINISTER TO LOOK AFTER THAT OFFICE.


GO SCHOOL, NO, ONLY THUGGERY UNA SABI.

Wealthoptulent:

Its shows many lack intelligence on Abuja.
Its Federal capital Territory, the President is Federal so he more like their Prime minister or governor , a governor can't be with President there, that why they have Wicked Wike (FCT MINISTER)

2023 Election has made people jus to read Law h constitution & ended up not to know how to Interprete its literal meaning.

@italicized quote,
But was that not what happened in Lagos when Lagos was FCT?
Lagos had a governor and president in the same state...

Please elucidate...

Aso rock is being rented to the Government. The question is who is the landlord?
Since there are no indigenes?
Very stupid set of defenders. See ehn, if this people could defend Buhari, there is absolutely nothing they will not twist.
So don't bother yourself, na insults dem sabi normally. Take with a pinch of salt and state your fact.

So, who will claim Abuja, Abuja that was carved out from 5 different states of the federation. The law is the law, the court is not an emotional place, the case will be dismissed. Don't say you are not warned.

... and FAC allocation should be given them cumulatively starting from when Abuja was created.

007kjb:

Well, It is the seat of the Federal government where every Nigerian is an equal stake holder. This doesn't mean your single vote is 25 times that of another Nigerian from Zambisa.

Sh*t..just a little play with this pig,I got stains and dirty hands.
Someone should take this domestic pig back to his barn, he's out in the neighborhood trying to destroy people's goods .
Hello Pig, am I so coward like the man who impregnated your slutty old mother?

9jatriot:
4 or 8 is a long term to keep displaying this type of mental disorder.

Obi and his dient people should know that 2023 election is not the first in this country and will not be the last. In every election, there will always be a winner and couple of losers.

Only God knows the kind of sleepiness night Obi caused in your community that you mentioned him even when he is not even involved.

The man who made the above comments is Atiku s PDP man o!

Nawaooo for this kind Obi's forbia

IF FCT INDIGENE START BEHAVING LIKE YORUBA IN LAGOS, CLAIMING LAND OWNER.



WITH NO FCT, NO NIGERIA.




EVERYBODY GO YOUR OWN WAY.



SO FAR, OUR COLLECTIVE WEALTH, JUST LIKE LAGOS WAS USED TO DEVELOP ABUJA AS A NIGERIAN SPACE WHERE WE CAN ALL MEET, LIVE, WORK, PLAY, MARRY, WORSHIP AND FIGHT.



ABIT LIKE BIG BROTHER HOUSE.

MadamExcellency:


Quick to label Abuja a no man's land?

This life has no balance when politics, religion and culture are involved. Humanity is the loser at the end, especially the poor and the middle class.

Big losers 😂

That’s why you went to court and the judges tongue lashed your “never lost a case” SANS for embarrassing the legal profession.
Read the law you won’t. You will be arguing based on emotion. Then law is very clear….FCT. no longer belongs to the indigenes. You can argue they have not received their full compensation or relocation as per the law created ating the FCT but the land is no longer theirs.

Reading will not make you go blind and familiarization with the law may actually stop you making further asses of yourselves….if that is possible.

The US is the poorest example in this case. The state of California has more voting power than Alaska. California has 54 electoral votes while alaska Haa only 3. That means californians have overriding voting power than Alaskans

but you want Abuja to be inferior to other states abi. How will you fill when they bring someone from another state to govern your state

Good luck to them. But no matter the outcome, votes casted in Abuja will never become more weighty than any other votes casted anywhere else in Nigeria.

I can bet my two cents you have never read the Land Act. Just confidently stating nonsense.
Sometimes read, so you don't embarass yourself. Any lawyer on this thread would just laugh at your peak Tom foolery. In your mind you're schooling me but you keep on making a fool of yourself. I don't even need to do or say anything.

HarryGleb:
Way to go. Since Abuja doesn't have any special status then they should have what other states have. Those injustices have set a bad precedent.

Abuja is the Federal Capital Territory
Of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as the
Administrative Base of Nigerian Government Headed By the President & Commander-in-Chief of Armed forces ...

The FCT is a Special Status Headed By The President himself with Delegation of the Authority to the Minister of FCT(Presently Nyesom Wike) ....

Abuja Indigenes has the Area Council & Their Senators to Represent their Interests....

Once Abuja is giving a state Status, it shall lose the spirit of the Federal Capital Territory then The President & The Governor start Clashing on Jurisdictions Issues ....

Abuja belongs to Nigerians as the entire Nigeria Belongs to Nigeria ....

This is a Dead Case in any Court in Nigeria because Changing Abuja Status Is a Constitutional Issues that would require Constitutional Amendments, 2/3rd Majority & Presidential Assents...

Dead Case.

Funkyswagzz:


Since una wan scata d country mak everybody act like mad man now.. no be justice rule say Abuja no get any special treatment?

FCT has no special status regarding votes is different from what they're going to court to seek. Trust me, they'll be fined by the court after dismissing their frivolous case. The court is a serious place. It's not a comic ground.

ElSudani:


Good luck to them. But no matter the outcome, votes casted in Abuja will never become more weighty than any other votes casted anywhere else in Nigeria.

IS THAT WHY, IT SAYS SO IN NIGERIA CONSTITUTION, ABOUT ABUJA?



Y NOT YOUR STATE OSUN MENTIONED?




ONLY ABUJA WAS MENTIONED.
