25% in FCT is keeping the Judiciary in total shock, hence their silence

Information reaching me through credible sources says; This 25% in FCT which has been a subject of arguments in their inner caucus chamber is still a bone of contention among the judges even till late LAST NIGHT.

25% in FCT is keeping the judiciary in total shock, hence their silence.

They are looking for a suitable way to interpret it, but it’s a bone in their throat.

As we approach a day closer to Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, PEPT, judgement these are the main issues;

Bola Tinubu got 7 strikes for disqualification under the Federal republic of Nigeria constitution 1999 as amended and Electoral Act 2022.

1. $460,000 for narcotics trafficking and money laundering.
2. Undisclosed dual citizenship.
3. Forged Chicago State University Certificate
4. Forged NYSC Certificate.
5. Forged NYSC exemption letter.
6. VP invalid nomination
7. Shettima double nomination.

Justices stop negotiating with APC and Wike for soft landing, we all know one strike earns Tinubu automatic disqualification. Apart from disqualification with lawful votes Tinubu came distant 3rd
Justices do not aid and abet criminality, and forgery. Justices do not turn Nigeria into a republic of criminality and forgery.

Justices disqualify Tinubu because he has earned himself disqualification and the federal republic of Nigeria constitution and Electoral Act 2022 say so. Justices do not violate the Constitution and the Electoral Act 2022, the more just like the INEC chairman did.

Justices do not undermine the federal republic of Nigeria constitution 1999 as amended and the Electoral Act 2022.

25% IN FCT AND THE BONE IN TINUBU’S THROAT

After the 2003 elections, Muhammadu Buhari called for the cancellation of the election since Obasanjo failed to win in FCT but it was resolved that winning the FCT is not mandatory but having 25% in FCT is very mandatory.

President Obasanjo back then satisfied the basic requirements of 25% in 24 States “AND” 25% in FCT also having the highest number of total valid votes cast.

It was also started that if there was no election in Abuja or election in Abuja was canceled, the election will …
automatically go into re-run regardless of satisfying other requirements which validated the importance and exceptional factor of FCT in our constitution.

It was established in 2003 by those justices that 25% in FCT is as mandatory as having highest number of total valid vote cast to win an election in Nigeria.

Justices that resolved the FCT case between President Obasanjo and Buhari are:

1. Justice Mohammed Lawal
2. Justice Idris kutigi
3. Justice Denis Edozie
4. Justice Sam Odemwingie
5. Justice Aloysius Iyorgyer
6. Justice Umaru Kalgo
7. Justice Ignatius Chukwudi

Why do you need to argue over something that is clearly stated in the constitution?

Do you want to SUSTAIN our democracy or BURN DOWN our Nation over just a few greedy power drunk charlatans?
