Meaning Of 25% Of 2/3 States And FCT by Usefulsense: 7:57pm On Feb 28, 2023
It beats my imagination on how majority of educated Nigerians failed to interprete the phrase
...25% of 2/3 of the states and Abuja..

Even a secondary school student who is good in English language will be able to interprete the meaning of this phrase.

In its simplest form, the phrase means 25% of 2/3 of 36 states plus 25% of Abuja.

While some lawyers have stated that section 299 of the 1999 constitution as amended made Abuja a state. This is fallacy.

Even if Abuja is made a state by section 299, the mere mention of FCT Abuja means that you must obtain 25% in the 'state' called Abuja.

APC should not rejoice yet as the third condition for being declared winner wad never met.

The conditions are:

A. You must have majority of the votes

B. You must have at least 25% in 2/3 of 36 States, and

C. You must obtain 25% of votes in the 'state' called FCT, Abuja.

You the type of humans that support APC?

You didn't provide counter argument and you started name calling.

Tinubu will never be president. Mark my words.

I have info that you don't have.

Shuu.. abi I didn’t read what you wrote ? wink

I thought you were an urchin wink cheesy

I was tired of reading rubbish from the APC miscreants

Former Supreme Court justice already explained what “and” means in the constitution.. that is a stop for Tinubu..

Haha good argument. Abuja is a state we agree but electoral law said you must get 25% from "Abuja state". Na so Obi gave new meaning to " four year tenure" and disrupted the election calendar. He will do it again

You're intelligent and capable of critical thinking.
PROLOG (PROgramming LOGic) can easily analyse those conditions and arrive at a conclusion.
But I'm sorry to say that most Nigerians (including most of our lawyers and judges) ain't that intelligent.
