...either you don't reside in Nigeria or not, as long as you wish she remain a failed state., it definitely affect you and your family directly or indirectly...it's not a curse ma'am.
If heaven go fall no be onto one person., na everybody go suffer am.

How we let our emotions get the best of us most times still baffles me...

Because the court decision didn't favor your candidate doesn't mean we should wish the country bad or not to be rosy.

In life we win some and lose some...you can't have it all.
As far as i am concern all the party and candidates involve this case are all the same, no saint or messiah among them all.

I don't vote neither do i support any party candidate....personally dem no know you; dem no know me...so, why have hypertension over politicians?

Don't let your emotions becloud your sense of reasoning.

I've you ever seen a lawless country grow? Continue to do motivational speaking in the midst of lawlessness.

Did you see how the courts in the US behaved when they wanted to manipulate them?. Can you see the difference between the 2 countries?

Dont worry your eye will soon clear!

PUSSYHOE:
No court can unseat a sitting president in naija.

Even senate them no born them well!!!!

Akpabio was unseat in 2019, many senators have unseat this term. If your case has a good ground, why not.
But in case of this one that LP is claiming President must win in Abuja is showing how incompetent his lawyers is, the rules says "2/3 of 33states Including FCT"

Because you failed to accept the truth!

This 25% fct is the most ludicrous argument i have ever seen in an electoral dispute in the 21st century. Nigeria doesn't practise electoral college system where votes from states don't carry equal significance.In simple direct rule,all votes are equal in anywhere its adopted in the world. This is the worst presidential election petition ever in this country. There was so much noise in the media,and no substance in evidence.

The actual mind boggling fact about this issue is that some lawyers (NBA needs to recall them to bar) argue in favour of FCT 25%. What kind of lawyers are they? How did they qualify without knowing the fact that every vote is equal in the eyes of the law?

nice caps. Let me screenshot this for future use. Your cap dey reach how much, like that blue 💙 and black 🖤

Estello:
Justice Okoro has held that not having 25% of the votes in Abuja does not stop a candidate from being declared president.

The judge held that people of Abuja are equal and not different from other Nigerians

Gbam!

Tareq1105:


Logically, does 25% FCT residents make sense to you in a country where the constitution says all are equal before the Law.

Why should FCT residents be more Nigerians than those Nigerians in Gombe Yobe Osun Akwa Ibom Delta Bauchi Kebbi states? Where's the Equality in the constitution?

The drafters of the constitution did not make FCT residents special Nigerians.

Except if you want all Nigerians to transfer their PVC to FCT in 2027 and see if Abuja INEC would be able to handle it.

Logically, did you first ask yourself why the clause is in the constitution? Is it just there for the fun of it?

Now to further teach you logical reasoning, 25% is not equal to winning Abuja but just a benchmark which any lawful candidate should have. In as much as the FCT does not have a governor, house of assembly and the likes, it is expected that its people must have some form of representation in the person presiding over it.

The framers of the constitution did not insert the clause for it to be discarded at any point in time. It is written in plain english so that educated people can understand it clearly.

The 25% will be important if reverse was the case. You wey get power and can't use it to your advantage, na u sabi. There is a reason for everything in life and remember nobody cares about you, you just fight for yourself with all you got in Nigeria

Still a flawed argument.

Look...I no want tinubu to win..

Okay...the FCT is a territory..meaning it isn't a state for the purposes of the constitution. So, in order to prevent FCT votes from not counting, that is why the 'and' clause was brought in.

(A similar example, is Washington DC. Washington DC in the US is a special territory. It has a mayor, and it has a Senator, but no governor. So for legal purposes it is designated as having the similar status as a normal US state. Though right now, some are pushing for Washington to become a State, but that's another story.)

If they had ruled in favour of your definition, it would have in essence made FCT votes superior to everyone else, and would have led to a sutuation where someone can win all the states, get 5% IN THE FCT, and then be told he is not President.

(And don't bring in the story about FCT being 'representative'. By that argument, Lagos could be 'representative').

So, under the constutution, FCT is a special territory, not a state, so the and clause was introduced not to allow FCT votes to not count....because if the law read Majority of votes in the states, someone can come and argue that FCT is not a state, therefore FCT votes do not count.

The other issues were fightable. FCT was not. The last time the court ruled on the matter, it stated that the law treated FCT as a state for purposes of election, not that you MUST win in FCT to win the election.

Mugu think sey na obedient e dey do why Nigerians are suffering and dieing on a daily basis due to hardship

Abuja is now a state...it needs a governor and not a minister

Nigeria will be great..I understand your pains my dear...continue crying till 2027..bad loser

Burob:
Because Atiku Malu & Gringory will fix Nigeria in 5 months, for Lazy Atikulated Obidients to be enjoying?

u are more maluu to be celebrating the person that brought so much pain and hardship to your people and yourself under 5 months

Move on where ?


But I am happy. Now the Fct matter go rest. Everybody now know say you don't necessarily need to win Abuja...

spiSeyi:
Justice Okoro Thank God it's not Justice Ariwoola that said this, BAT knew that PO lacks the political acumen and structures to win the national election when he was saying since the 1ST day that LP would labor in vain
We told them to move on but they refused, dog wey go lost no go hear the hunter whistle . Let this enter your skulls in case you might want to raise any false hope in the future "No court can unseat any Nigerian President after being sworn in as a president", once INEC declares you as the presidential election winner in Nigeria nothing can unseat you except death

PBAT and APC has taught everyone a political lesson, I hope your likes didn't learn it the hard way

The question is not "how will some people cope today rather how majority of BAT//stards who are not in government cope till Tinubu's tenure of hardship ends.

BAT//stards, I want to see you buy your fuel @ 10 Naira and your pure water sachet @ 10 Kobo.

Dialpad:
How will some people cope today ? Now they will realize that there is a big difference between social media and Supreme Court

how majority of you BAT//stards who are not in government will cope till Tinubu's tenure of hardship ends should be your worries.

Despite quoting the US example, you still arrived at your skewed conclusion.

Simple arithmetic, how does 25% mean winning Abuja?

We can as well recommend throwing away the constitution since it does not have to be followed.

nairalanda1:


Racoon, make we reason am. Suppose Peter Obi won 25% in all the states , but only got 5% in Abuja, does that mean that Obi cannot be President of Nigeria?

Abuja ruling was always going to be problematic. If we took Obi and Atiku's argument, we would have ended up with a situation where the votes of the FCT were more than votes of everyone else.

Everything else was fightable...not the FCT one.

Let the people of Abuja go to court so that they too can have a governor, 3senators house of Rep members since they are like every other states.

Abuja should seek for their own governor, reps and Senators since they are just like other states and special status.
