Misterone:
winning the election by someone you said is sick and toxic with MM ticket is a big statement

As much as i know there is no winner so far. Unless you are talking about president of yorumuslims

Obrigardo:


You didn't have to refer to a group of people like that. There are better words you could use.

It's sad that nairaland s have essentially taken a break.

This should warrant your and IP ban but I'm sorry that the mods might not take action.

Cc: Mynd44?

The mods are part of the mess. They are enjoying it so long there is traffic

Egoat:

Actually the court ruled in of 12 and not 13 and it's reason Shehu Shagari won the case. Your claims are flawed.

No, Awolowo wanted the 12 and the courts ruled for 13.

There is nothing special in Abuja. The rule states that 25%bin in the 36 states and Abuja. Abuja is seen as a state in the eyes of the law.

Egoat:

Point is that.
Popular opinion has it that one needs to win 25% in 2/3 of the 36 states abi? And the 2/3 of 36 states is 24.
If FCT is recognized as a state then 2/3 of 37 states is 24.6 which is not a whole number.
Then it's possibly safe to say 2/3 of 36 states and FCT is 25 states and not 24 states as commonly believed.

Nigeria will not write the constitution of Nigeria becos of some people want Peter Obi to win at all cost and these is not the 1st election Nigeria as held,

It is a known fact that 2/3 of 36states in Nigeria is 24 long before today, so there is nothing any over zealous ers can do that will change that. 24.6 is invalid cos no state can count as 00.6 hence the 24

Winning FCT Not Requirement To Emerge President – Falana

this election shows that u re minority in lagos u migrated to from oyo

BigBrother9ja:
Lol

OSŪS thought winning Lagos and Abuja is enough for you to be sworn in as president


I'm so happy God put them to shame

Call names as you like, that will not make majority of Nigerians accept a mentally handicapped Tinubu to preside over the 220m people in Nigeria - and through a fraudulent presidential election.

Tinubu is the incoming president elected. He has fulfilled the requirements as par the constitution. So any other thing is secondary.

Neoteny7:
Chai!

Falana why?

You've just shredded the last hope of the obidiotz.

What would the zombies do now?

Yell Biafra again as they've been doing for the past 40 years?

We taught them and those few brainwashed mofos ọmọ ale jatijati that, being TOXIC, ABUSIVE AND AGGRESSIVE doesn't win election

Desist from this derogatory word "osu" .

Broveens42:



The language is a very big mockery. The question of whether fct is a state or not shouldn't even be an issue here.
If that language is directly translated to Latin, then it means fct is a compulsory 25%.

25% in 24 states and fct( mentioning a name suggest it is not an option)
You must pot all balls and black ball to win a pool contest. ( The black ball is compulsory)

25% in 25 states (when you translate this, it appears exactly what it is)

Tinubu already got 25% across 24 states requirements..

Had it been tinubu had 25% in 23 states, and still didn’t make 25% in FCT, then it means he didn’t get the 25% in 24 states requirements, and their will be a rerun..

If tinubu had 25% in 23 states and make 25% in FCT, then it means he has met the 25% in 24 states requirements..

If tinubu had 25% in 24 states, and didn’t make 25% in FCT, then it means he has met 25% in 24 states requirements as well.. ( This is is situation exactly )

So 25% is not a must to win in FCT. But if you have 25% in FCT, Inec would add it to the states you met 25% requirements..

That’s how it is..

You heard Falana say that Abuja is a state by law.

OP even twisted Falana's explanation!
Falana is saying that Tinubu must not win FCT, but Mr poster gave it a different headline just to put smiles on the faces of urchins.

25% in FCT is the basic requirement. Rerun is possible

this is what they have failed to realize. It has happened before when there was an argument for ⅔of 19 states. Then the supreme court said it was 12 because human beings are whole and you cannot divide them.

GOTVee:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, I will like to use this opportunity to thank my fellow Nigerian Christians for voting massively for the candidate with the Muslim/Muslim ticket. This election has proven that we Christians and our Muslim brothers are one. Peter Obi tried to divide us by running a religious campaign but we Christians stood our ground and rejected him. May God continue to bless we Christians and Muslims for bringing this renewed Hope to our great country

Only a dunce would vote for a mentally handicapped Tinubu to preside over Nigeria. Whether you are truly a Christian or not, does not count in this case.

Gilgil:
There is no ambiguity here. Its simple English. You need to meet 3 requirements to become Nigerian President Elect on the first ballot:

1. Majority votes nationwide
2. 25% in 24 states
3. 25% in FCT

E.g. To GRE, you need to score 310 and above (here meaning majority votes) with 160 in Verbal reasoning (25% in 24 states) AND quantitative reasoning (25% in FCT)

It means you must score 310, then 160 minimum in the subjects mentioned. If you score 200 in verbal and 120 in quantitative, and vice versa, you have failed.

What the law says basically is that, for example if you score 25% of 23 states and also in the FCT you also have 25% then you have met the constitutional requirement. Also if you score 25% in 24 other states it doesn't matter whether or not you have 25% in the FCT, you have also met the requirements.
The FCT would only count as a state for the purpose of the election.

Eeeeeehn......4 Osus tweeting in a room,won Lagos and Abuja? Wonders shall never end.

So 25% is not a must to win in FCT. But if you have 25% in FCT, Inec would add it to the states you met 25% requirements..

That’s how it is..

God bless you, this is the interpretation. The FCT will only count as a state in this scenario where you have 25% in 23 states and also 25% in the FCT.
The constitution cannot say you must have 25% in any particular state to win the election.

Cc: Mynd44?

I'm happy you did not abuse him. I'm Yoruba and pro tinubu as well have a Christian background but now an agnostic and humanity. We are all one but it is a pity religion and politics is tearing us apart.

Misterone:
Tinubu is the incoming president elected. He has fulfilled the requirements as par the constitution. So any other thing is secondary.

My friend., I am Yoruba by tribe. Tinubu has not met all the required tenets of the law to become president. HE MUST SCORE 25% IN FCT to be declared president.

Peculiar Ibo logic

Stop roping God into your lunacy. God is as ashamed of you as well as the devil. Your useless party should bow their head in shame. They know they couldn't win on free and fair basis, they had to resort to manipulation of results, violence, disenfranchisement and daylight rigging. What an untold shame.

A drowning man will hold on to anything even if its a leaf
they said the election was rigged and APC premediated all the figures ... so APC in the abundance of APC wisdom they decided to rigg Peter Obi to win FCT. aint these people the dumbest set of ers in history one minute they are nullifying the results the next minute they are celebrating the results.


Even yesterday a presenter on mainland fm was say it, that the requirement is 2/3 in 24 states must be meant

OLADD:
My friend., I am Yoruba by tribe. Tinubu has not met all the required tenets of the law to become president. HE MUST SCORE 25% IN FCT to be declared president.

That is not what the law says. 25% in the FCT is only relevant if you have 25% in 23 other states.

What you are saying doesn't make sense since you can win all the states in Nigeria and still not win if you don't have 25% in Abuja.

No. That's not what the law says.

This is explicit. The word AND has an explicit meaning in that sentence.

There is no ambiguity on what it means. Let's not let conspirators twist the English language

You don't need to win but you must secure 25% Tinubu ers ronu ooooo

Oya na, watch and see. As you dey look am e dey enter, as you dey watch am e dey go.

FarahAideed:

Was he among the drafters of the electoral act to know the full intent of that confusing clause ?

We need the supreme court to interpret this

zanebaddo:
You don't need to win but you must secure 25% Tinubu ers ronu ooooo

There's already a Supreme Court decision on this matter.

Obidients are very dumb.

@Farahaideed, LP gummed body with PDP to hold a t Press conference after splitting each other's votes. I think those Obidients are under a curse.

Egoat:

Firstly, Shagari won this same election in 1983
Exactly something like this. 12 states out of 19.
Secondly, even if a runoff is declared, Obi isn't the runner up. That's my fear. Rerun would be between Atiku and Tinubu.

Noo bro a rerun will be between candidate that got the highest vote by sates and candidate that got the most 25% of the states.

zanebaddo:
You don't need to win but you must secure 25% Tinubu ers ronu ooooo

I made that mistake too. Apologies to falana. I wondered how a sound luminary could make that kind of mistake.

Falana was talking about winning and not the 25%

He said you must not need to win FCT

He is even silent on this 25% issue
