As far as many people are concerned, there was no election, they just deceived people to vote when they already have the next fixed president

if e tru nko??

It's still insignificant..


Oh sorry, it was rigged as popular claim

And yet Aduda wanted the legislative elections wanted cancelled because he lost out .

These politicians are way ahead of us. They foresaw an EndSars ProMax protest in the aftermath of Tinubu win and sent in Soldiers and here we were thinking it was to curb electoral violence and ballot snatching. They gave wins to the people in the major hotspot Lagos and Abuja as a distraction while reducing the margin to the barest minimum so they can make up for it in other states..

They will still rig this one.

Tinubu fails to get 25% in FCT

APC got less than 25%. Rerun

Tinubu did not see 25%?

To rigged out Peter Obi is an attack on Nigeria democracy: they can not rigged out Peter Obi from the Presidential elections.

Nigerians have seen the enemies of Peter Obi defeated.
Nigerians that wants New Nigeria will never allow enemies to defeat the honest man called Peter Obi.

Those planning evil against Peter Obi, Labour Party and obidients will surely stumble and fall but Peter Obi, Labour Party and obidients will rise and stand firm.

Peter Obi is the next President of Nigeria after President Buhari.
Rejoice everyone, New Nigeria is here.

Is this the official result?

Oga it's less than 20%, do the maths nah

Tinubu 25% already secured in 24 states
INEC declare jagaban winner now

Obi actually won this election.

25% in FCT is not mandatory.

Now, he needs 25% in 25 states instead of 24.

Get quality education.

The result is manipulated ,Obi won with landslides, INEC is a fraudulent institution.

YorubaSamurai:
Tinubu 25% already secured in 24 states
INEC declare jagaban winner now

Atiku got 19 Tinubu got 20% a rerun.

VoteTinubu2023:
25% in FCT is not mandatory.

Now, he needs 25% in 25 states instead of 24.

Get quality education.

Section 134 of the Constitution provides as follows:

(1) A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected, where, there being only two candidates for the election –

(a) he has the majority of votes cast at the election; and

(b) he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

(2) A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected where, there being more than two candidates for the election-

Is 25% in FCT mandatory?
LoLzz.

Mumu people including Agbakogba.

So a candidate would be so popular in Abuja and Abuja alone such that he gets 90% vote.

Those that won across the country would now embark on a runoff simply because of this reason and this makes sense to reasonable people?

You must secure 25% of the votes cast in 24 states and FCT to become president.

Tinubu FCT Score:

90902 / 478923 * 100 = 18,980.......

= 18.9%

Atiku FCT Score:

74199 / 478923 * 100 = 15,492.......

= 15.4%

Basis:

Section 134 (2) of the Nigerian constitution.

You must secure 25% of the votes cast in the FCT. Tinubu and Atiku failed to meet this requirement.

It’s more than 20% but less than 25%
I don’t know if this will be enough to force a rerun.
I have given up on Nigeria.

VoteTinubu2023:
