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

Case closed.

While this may not be an issue, the IREV IS NOT A COLLATION TOOL is not good for modern democracy.

I doubt if any other appeal will scale through

You are right my Nigga, but the INEC act can be modified before the next election.

No court can unseat a sitting president in naija.

Even senate them no born them well!!!!

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.

Abuja is a normal state, it has no special status when it comes to constitutional matters. The golden rule of interpretation was clearly used.

Supreme Court of absurdity, illegality and technicalities

I will see how they do in 2027 election.

Appeal to where??

Nigeria is a useless state...it will continue to be a failed state forever. Nothing will rescue Nigeria, mark my words

Lol

Elupeee don luleeee

That ends that.

2-0

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

None

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.

lol,I laff wen people think anything good will come out of all this court case, especially when tinubu dey involved......you can never unseat a president in Nigeria,e no dey possible..even akpabio wey get power sef no go fit try am,if em do am eh Dem go fling am from that senate house Asap ...the president is the most powerful man in Nigeria and can do whatever he wants nobody go make noise...if you try pim eh,Dem go kill both you and your family troway

its over


our constitution now in the mud


the supreme court judgement between OBJ vs Buhari in 2003 thrown away just to ensure that Tinubu remains in power

This was the most baseless of all the arguments

So if I won 35 states and didn’t get 25% in Abuja, it means there should be a rerun

Wahala

Absolutely. If that were the case, all of us would have relocated to Abuja during an election. Excellent judgment.

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

TINUBU NA YOUR MATE?
A GOVERNOR OF LAGOS STATE IS A PRESIDENT OF ANOTHER COUNTRY.
TINUBU GET LEVEL THE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. BOTH IN NIGERIA AND OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY. HE HAS BUILT NETWORK THAT HAS BETTER CONNECTION THAN WHAT ATIKU CAN EVER BUILD.

Hmmm. we are waiting

Election matter is time bound hence new witnesses can't be accepted after the 21 days.

If I won 30 states but didn't get 25% in Abuja, does it mean, I can't become president? No.

on top 25%? are all votes not equal before the law? what technicality issue is there
