If there was no rigging Tinubu wouldn't have gotten the votes he gets. Talkless of him being in rerun

There's no rerun anywhere. It's straight win by simple majority after scoring 25% in 25 states.

VoteTinubu2023:
25% in FCT is not mandatory.

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

Get quality education.

U wey get quality education,
Whr e lead u go,
Nairaland I guess?

baralatie:
So are we going to have a re run between who now

I don't think there will be a run off.

No President has failed to get 25% in the FCT. So this legal dispute has never cropped up before. But the Courts can interpret it any way they choose. Since the Tinubu camp seems to hold sway in the Judiciary, they should get a favorable disposition. He got 25%+ in more than 25 states.

That said, if some states are canceled, we might head to a run off, regardless of judgment.

Unfortunately, the law is also not clear on who goes to runoff. The Aso Rock cabal and powerful Northern and Southern interests will want it to be between APC and PDP. But the APC camp will want it to be between APC and LP. Obi will sweep the South and part of NC, but the core North will vote Tinubu en masse. Not even Atiku can convince them to vote Obi. That's when you'll start seeing 1.5m votes from each Northern state, although the South can play that game as well.

The Atrocities are countless. Pls have sense.

Well, true but I also heard a man was burnt in the east for voting APC. I even watched another man from the east trying to force to vote lp. Who dey talk about that one?

When you lack technical knowledge, pay attention to those who know what they're talking about.

Hope you will be bold enough to come back and acknowledge this by the end of the day?

This law has never been tested. Only Tinubu has fallen short. So Falana has no point of reference .

Only the supreme court can clarify this law. Like I said I'm excited because it's a historic moment. I've always been curious about this law.

DMerciful:
APC got less than 25%. Rerun

..so will they be a rerun ?

00FFT00:


I discovered a long time ago that discussing with an illiterate is injustice to self. Bye.

Let me make you cry once again, because I know you do not read:

Today, the courts have ruled that pursuant to Section 299 of the constitution, that the FCT should be treated as a state. That is the law.

So go and read the constitution. It is written in English, not igbo.

DMerciful:
APC got less than 25%. Rerun

Rerun how? Constitutionally, to be declared winner, a candidate has to secure 1/3 (25%) of valid votes cast in 2/3 (24) states of the federation. To the best of my knowledge, Asiwaju has fulfiled these conditions. Brace up for a Tinubu led APC Federal govt. I pray God grants him the love, wisdom and all he'll need to pilot the affairs of this great nation.

Midehi3:
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

No surprises, he was so boastful before the election that he has won already.

FCT was expected. LP was the flavour of the month.

Adudua falling was unexpected...if it is true. 20 years on the seat.. even managed to swat off Jisallo in 2019.....gone in one day.

sat70:
When you are filled with hate. You Gail to understand simple English

“We have 36 states of the federation and two-thirds of that is about 25. So, if you are a presidential candidate, you must have 25 percent of the total votes cast in at least 25 states of the federation before you are declared [winner]. If not body has that, if the candidate with the highest number of votes still fails to have the required 25 percent, there will be a rerun election,”

2/3 of 36 is 24 and not 25..seems most of you needs to collect your school fees back

clydecarson:




All these APC urchins are all dense,no wonder the person you are ing is very dense he didn't even go to school his classmates he mentioned don't know him make una just dey play...obi is the winner of this election.

Yes, you're the only one that went to school and we thank God for your life even though you cannot point at what your certificate has added to you.

Hahaaha. Bros abeg no let 😈 use youoooo. Innocent masses will suffer. leave them for God. we have prayed, did the needful by coming out to vote. Let God judge the case

it will be difficult but INEC should beg Nigerians for forgiveness and for the sake of justice follow stipulated proceedings n ensure people who didn't vote get the chance to vote, put massive Military presence n ensure a proper secret ballot system so everyone votes his preferred candidates without fear of being attacked, it's not too much to ask. For all the monies spent they should have done better.The mother of #Endsars is cooking.End #badgovernment #endinec

OlawaleBammie:
if e tru nko??

It's still insignificant..


Oh sorry, it was rigged as popular
claim

It is not rigged since LP won but wen another wins it became an unfair result... Make una dey think before una go talk

When it favours them, there was no rigging! When they lose, they claim rigging!

Shameless people.

PrinceOfLagos:
Re-run

Obi Tsunami
From structureless to Aso rock

...are you sure they will be a rerun with way tinubu is still leading?

I doubt if some of y'all go school...

In an exams. When the INSTRUCTIONS say: Answer 4 questions.

And you have 5 questions in Section A and 2 questions in Section B.

If you can answer 4 questions from section A, you've fulfilled the requirement..

Below is Fálànà submission on it.

ElectGINeer:


In fact a lawyer friend said it's 24 states. FCT only come to play if a candidate get 25% in 23 states and 25% in FCT too where FCT would be regarded a state.

Lawyers in the house can help interpret the law. But common sense should already tell people that FCT is not more important than other states that it'd be given a special status. Also, there'd have been more spotlight on FCT if it was to be that important.

Fixed news...who are they deceiving. NONSENSE

PureMe01:
Tinubu did not see 25%?

..ok that means they will be a rerun abi.?

Tareq1105:


Obi really dealt with Atiku. Obi took all PDP Atiku strongholds and left Atiku gasping for breath.

In all honesty, Obi and Atiku made Tinubu to win. There t ticket would have nailed Tinubu but bcoz God destined him to win, He caused them to split.

No one's winning anything.
E lo gbenu dake!

Doesnt matter if BAT makes 25% in FCT or not. The election has been decided since last year. From wat dave and hope are cooking in 3bonyi and imo states, BAT is getting more than 25% there

CSTRR:
The least we should get from this election is a rerun.

Once we go to courts and Invalidate some apc rigged votes, there is no way apc can have 25% in 24 states.

It's far from over.

Tinubu already have more than 25% in 21 states already. All he needs now is just 4 more states.

see stupid take

1nice:
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.

..ok but how....when tinubu is leading

Nbote:
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..

hmmm. So they already forsee that obi will gain that such number of vote in lagos and Abuja, and had already know the PU, ward and LGA Obi will win. Wow.

He sure for me say he no sure for u self before the election that obi will pull this sort of numbers. What you are praying for was a miracle to happen

Skeduw20:

It is not rigged since LP won but wen another wins it became an unfair result... Make una dey think before una go talk

well that is according to the losers not me a winner

DMerciful:
APC got less than 25%. Rerun

Is there any law that states that if a presidential candidate does not get up to 25% of the total vote cast in Abuja, even if the candidate got 25% of the total vote cast in 2/3 of the states in the country, the person will not be sworn in?

This is why the law should work. People should be under the law or the land not do what they like.
