Simple...it means for the purpose of the prefect elections...the UTME prep class are considered as students, and not as guys who have one foot in the university.

Plus, prefects are not chosen by the students anyways.



Am a medico. Phillosophy was complusory in my time...plus we took it in 200l not 600l. At any rate, to be declared the best graduating student one has to have the highest aggregrate scores, or the best CGPA,

Plus University courses are divided into two, compulsory and elective.

Finally, university courses are not similar to voting.


Erm, so long as the father does not agree to any marriage it does not matter if the women of the family agree...plus who needs the father's permission to propose anyway? .

Thank you for the detailed response you have to the MUMU. He was even bold in his ignorance by mentioning the study of medicine that he knows next to nothing about.

If you waka for Nairaland,.you go read orishirishi.

The Constitution states that a presidential candidate must win 25% of votes in 2/3 of the number of states AND ABUJA.

In other words, if a presidential candidate fails to win 25% of votes of Abuja residents, he is not qualified to become president of Nigeria.

It's even fair enough.

Other states elect Governors, but Abuja doesn't.
Because the presidents through his minister is their governor.

They have to get a special say in who becomes president because it directly affects them .


It's fair to any objective mind.

nairalanda1:


Point to the relevant sections in the constitution that back up what you said.

I am convinced that you have not read Nigeria's Constitution for once. Tinubuidiots argue from fanaticism range.

You could have as well questioned the importance of a constitution altogether?

Tinubu did not win presidential election and cannot be sworn in as Nigeria president.

No man born of a woman can swear in Tinubu as Nigeria president 💯

For your mind now you believe you're making sense right? Was your father that wrote the constitution? If then wan swore him in let me see cardboard for your hand then you will see other fraction of Nigeria. I've marked your face.

Exactly what the framers of the constitution had in mind. How can someone who failed to obtain approval from residents of a territory govern the territory?

You are the most foolish person have ever known.

For your useless eyes, Jagaban, the slayers of Obi and the Obi supporters, would be sworn in as the The President, Federal Republic of Nigeria come May, 29th, 2023.

Any man or woman that want to stand against will only shop wotowoto from our Soldiers.

You can say that hat of Lagos, kano, kaduna too.. why is there no must to score 25%...

I understand and respect your opinion. But I need you to think about why all of the aforementioned are called and referred to as "States" bar the FCT.

I'm not claiming to be right just trying to exercise my brain jare...

I'm good with however the court interprets it.

Mrtaye:

Abuja is not a state it's the federal capital territory hence why it doesn't have a governor but minister.....this case is very simple

FCT and so what?

All votes cast are equal, no vote is more important than the other

nairalanda1:


No, the section of the constitution basically states that for the purpose of the election, Abuja is to be treated as an ordinary state, not the special administrative area it is.

(And if you want to call mini Nigerias, Kano, Lagos, Port HARCOURT, Zaria, Kaduna, even Onitsha, and Ibadan and even Umuahia are mini Nigerias to some extent).

It is sad that Tinubu won, but it is what it is.

Is Lagos not a mini Nigeria?Once Abuja is given that status, Lagos will push for it and will get it.
Normally, no vote is expected to be superior to others .

Unless he rewrites the Constitution before May 29th, Olanipekun SAN did not present any convincing argument here on the Abuja matter.

Honestly!

As usual, a blatant liar, still off the leash of decency and morality.
He will do whatever his father the Devil wants him to do.
Here he dropped another gibberish trash, spewed from a godforsaken mouth.
The criteria of needing 25% of the votes in Abuja, spelt out by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria must be met.
If not, you cannot be said to have won a presidential election.
By virtue of that, inter alia, Tinubu did not win the presidential election of February 25th, 2023.
And he is therefore returned back to Iragbiji, devoid of any electoral mandate.
And let it be made clear that Abuja is a special place, because it is the seat of the Nigerian government and has people representing all the tribes of Nigeria.
If you win the heart of Abuja, you win the hearts of all Nigerians.
Apart from the 25% of each of 2/3 of the 36 states of the federation, if you get 25% of the votes in Abuja, you get to be the president of Nigeria.
Tinubu did not get the 25% of the votes of Abuja, therefore he cannot say he has been elected to be the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Thank you my Lord Justices for upholding my argument and dismissing the positions of Tinubu, APC, INEC and their rabid dogs supporters of diseased origin.
Court!!!

And is a suffice for "+" in maths just as over means /, i learnt that even before secondary school .. obedience are just dullards
FCT is not a state, there is no how the constitution could have reinstate FCT without using the conjunction "and", if the draftsman had written 37states it would have being a blunder, using "and" is the safest way not to contradict the fact we have only 36states

section 299 made it clear Section 299 of the Nigerian Constitution is EXPLICIT: "The provisions of this Constitution shall apply to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja as if it were one of the States of the Federation."


Section 299 of the Nigerian Constitution is EXPLICIT: "The provisions of this Constitution shall apply to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja as if it were one of the States of the Federation."
EXPLICIT: "

The law should have said 25% in 24 states including the fct

TrumpDonald2:

He's challenging the results of about 21 states. That should tell you something.
INEC writing a petition against Peter Obi, that should tell you something.
TINUBU and APC writing a petition against Obi and asking the court to throw his case away, that should also tell you something.

If INEC is sure that the thief won, why not go to court and prove it. Why are you avoiding going to meet him at the same court you asked him to go?

Obi is challenging results in 21 states where he lost.

I don't know what Atiku would say bcoz Obi is indirectly challenging where he Atiku won too.

Obi is challenging Tinubu results in Katsina state for instance but his lawyers were stupid enough not to have joined Atiku PDP that won in the state.

The same goes for Kano, Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Adamawa, and others.

The same way Obi said he should be declared winner in an election he claims did not comply with electoral law but you want INEC to declare you winner.

Does that sound sensible and brilliant? Are judges stupid like him?

He has won convincingly! All those clinging to the fallacy that he didn't win the FCT would bitterly be disappointed when he's sworn in!!!

favor914:
So what, did the constitution of 1999 as amended give Abuja any preferential status?

No, other than that it could be regarded as a state of the federation.

Soo, blame the stupid people who wrote the electoral requirements in the constitution. They (I think inadvertently) made FCT special - no doubt about that. Unless you invent your own English!

And this ought be corrected NOW!

abbey621:


Most of our Constitution was modeled after U.K and U.S system of government. Was responding to your attempt to use lack of governor to justify FCT's superiority.....KO LE WORK

Your statement is ficticious as in how can you compare UK and US system to our just because you want to lamba

onuman:

The Constitution states that a presidential candidate must win 25% of votes in 2/3 of the number of states AND ABUJA.

In other words, if a presidential candidate fails to win 25% of votes of Abuja residents, he is not qualified to become president of Nigeria.

It says no such thing. You're misinterpreting it. Anyway let's wait for Peter Obi to disgrace himself at the courts just like he did at the polls

CSTRR:

It's even fair enough.

Other states elect Governors, but Abuja doesn't.

god bless you for standing by truth. But dont trust the corrupt judges

Why is FCT special?

PoliteActivist:


Soo, blame the stupid people who wrote the electoral requirements in the constitution. They (I think inadvertently) made FCT special - no doubt about that. Unless you invent your own English!

FCT IS SPECIAL...because it is no state.

The law states that for the purpose of the election, the FCT is to be considered a state)not the special area it really is)....not that any candidate must win at least 25% of the vote in FCT to win election, otherwise we could end up with a hypothetical solution where someone wins in all the 36 states, yet loses the election because he lost FCT.

Come now, FCT voters are not superior to any voter. Otherwise, we might as well hold elections only in the FCT and then tell the rest of Nigeria to go and sit down...

Beware of unintended circumstances.

Mrtaye:

Your analogy is simple as there won't be need for challenge because it is overwhelming but is that the case here

My analog is been directed to someone else not you

When you said "Peter Obi AND his party" what does the AND mean? Was that your statement referring to 2 separate entities or just Peter Obi?

Tingotoe:
He's 100% correct. The FCT's votes are not superior to that of any other state. Peter Obi and his party are wasting the court's time and by the way, why does Obi want to get the presidency through the backdoor? Why insist on pursuing this on technical grounds?

Absolutely we don't 25% in fct.

Zombies obidients supporters are naive about it.

Only brain dead zombidientsssss think 25percent of fct can stop anyone from becoming president of Nigeria. All votes are equal in Nigeria according to the constitution. There are no super voters anywhere.
