I don't really know why urchins are finding it difficult with elementary English that a primary school pupil can easily interprete. When someone says "in 5 states and FCT, in 10 States and Lagos" the interpretation is that if you meet the condition in the other five or ten you must also meet in this particular one. It is compulsory.

Yes.

But it can still be argued that the act, was just trying to include the FCT with the other states.
So 25% in FCT will also be accepted along with 25% in 23 other states making 24.

Urchins are majorly unlettered agberoes, that's why they are finding the English hard.

If you say Monsuru must eat the remaining beans AND Agbado as a law before shitting inside the Nylon bag and flinging it out of your house in Saki. If Monsuru decides to eats only beans and allow the Agbado 🌽 to rot, has he met the requirements laid down by you in your house? Can you argue that beans and agbado 🌽 are the same?

I need to break it down for these hungry urchins, because they too like food and nylon shiiit plenty.

Then it should have been for example 10 States including the FCT. In this case the FCT is a make up of the required number of states where he or she is expected to get 25% of the total vote cast. But once "and" was used it has simply joined the two separate entities together. One is the number of states he or she is supposed to score 25% the other is the FCT where he or she is expected to score 25%.
