Do you think the intention of constitution writers is to give residents of Abuja a veto power in determine whom become a president.
Does it mean if 36 states of Nigeria gives a single candidate 100% votes in presidential election. Residents of Abuja can use their less than one million registered voters cancel 92 million other Nigerian voters by not vote for the candidate. How logical is this in a democracy?

I've been made to understand that "and" is different from "inclusive ".

The provision of the Constitution is very unambiguous on winning the FCT...

You don't get 25% of total votes cast in the FCT, you don't win the presidency...

We cannot call ourselves a serious country if we continue change the rules at middle of the game...
