Smh You cannot abandon a section of the constitution that deals clearly with presidential election just to interpret an unrelated section for same purpose.

That is the same section the Supreme Court based their ruling on anytime the fct issue came up.
Buhari VS Obasanjo is an electoral matter and the Supreme Court ruled that a candidate can be declared without having 25% in the fct.
FCT should be treated as a state. You can search online for the judgement

That's a fact.precedent Judgement are always refered to when making a new judgement.However, supreme court have had reasons to reverse it self in the past by saying a judgement was in error.
If someone challenges it and probably brings a professor of English along with some dictionary to interpret what AND means then anything can happen.afterall the those that made the earlier judgement aree no longer there .

Electoral Act is not the constitution. It’s just an Act meant only for electoral purposes, constitution supersedes any Act.
