It's Very Simple.. The President of Nigeria is also the “Administrative Head” of Abuja as a Sub-National Unit. (Please see Section-299(a) of the Nigerian Constitution - as amended) Therefore, nobody can become a “President” if up to 25% of the Abuja Indigenes and residents didn't even vote for him to become their “Administrative Head” in Abuja. That would be like imposing upon the Abuja Electorates, someone whom they didn't even vote for.. 19 Likes 3 Shares |

Ireportlive: Don’t mind them. I just don’t know how Obi took their brain away. The administrative head of FCT is no longer the minister of FCT but president (what a joke). It’s just as if these clowns have rabies and the infection rate is high! Unfortunately the media space isn’t regulating these rhetorics. Young people are swimming in the belief of lies all over the place because the mainstream media also accommodated the narratives! Quite unfortunate. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

BluntCrazeMan: Section 134(2) that a candidate must (a) have the highest number of votes cast at the election; and (b) have not less than 25% of total votes cast in at least two-third of all the States in the Federation and the FCT, Abuja. What does the Constitution mean by 25% of votes in all the States in the Federation and the FCT, Abuja (FCT) and how should this be interpreted? These are the questions sought to be answered here. Before we proceed to review and give an interpretation to these provisions, we must bear in mind that the Constitution is not read and interpreted like any other book, there are rules for interpreting the Constitution and we will now examine same. RULES FOR INTERPRETATION OF THE CONSTITUTION In the 2022 decision of FRN v Nganjiwa3 the Supreme Court, while relying on some of its earlier decisions, reiterated the settled position on how to interpret provisions of the Constitution as follows: (a)Where the words of the Constitution are clear and unambiguous, a literal interpretation will be applied. (b) Where there is ambiguity in a literal interpretation, a holistic interpretation would be resorted to. (c) All sections must be read together and purposively so that no section is rendered redundant or superfluous. (d) If the words remain ambiguous, the intention of the makers of the Constitution must be discovered to determine the mischief sought to be cured. (e) The Court is entitled to consider how the law stood when the statute was passed, what the mischief was for which the old law did not provide and the remedy which has been provided by the new law. Hence, the Constitution is to be interpreted purposively and holistically and where a literal reading of the Constitution leads to absurdity, recourse must be made to the mischief which the law seeks to cure. It is important also, that we consider how the Courts have interpreted these provisions of the Constitution, although on dissimilar facts, as this will guide us on how the Courts are likely to interpret these provisions even though on a different set of facts. JUDICIAL DECISIONS ON SECTION 134(2) AND SECTION 299 The Court of Appeal in Okoyode v FCDA4 had cause to interpret Section 299 of the Constitution on whether the FCT was a State and in its decision stated that the FCT should be treated as one of the States in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In essence, the question submitted to the Court was whether the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) was an agency of the Federal Government of Nigeria. The Court in answer stated that the FCDA was an agency of the FCT which is a separate unit from the Federal Government and should rather be seen as a State and a separate administrative unit distinct from the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. COPIED Point 2 Going by the analogy above. It's been established by a competent court of law that FCT should be considered as a state. Proving further, Mathematically. Getting 25% votes in Two third (⅔) of 36 State apart from FCT is 23.9 or 24 states approximately. But, Getting 25% votes in Two third (⅔) of 36 State (+), (and) including from FCT is 24.6 approximately 25 states Conclusion. Interpretation of the said constitution even prove further that wining or getting 25% in FCT is not a must. 1 Like |

Peacemaker5128: Suburudeen Alumbodullahi, it does not change the fact that when the election on which he claimed to be elected was conducted, he did not meet the constitutional 25% requirement in Abuja. We will find out why Mahmoud Yakubu was rushing to deliver a stolen mandate to the druggie and how much he was paid through the foreign account of his Son abroad. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
