It seems APC and INEC assume Nigerians don’t understand English or have brains?
They’re really underrating Nigerians with their current “unfortunate written response” to their PEPT address.
Final Written Address Of Tinubu & Shettimah to LP & Obi
Regarding issue 3, which is 25% in FCT
Tinubu and Shettimah started by beating about the bush. They argued that none of the Nigerian 36 State is more superior than the other. A diversionary tactics. . . .
They also talked about electoral college votes in US. Another needless argument.
They cited section 299 of the constitution so as to draw justification that FCT is a State or should be accepted as Nigeria’s 37th State.
They also cited the case of George Bush versus Al Gore.

They also tried to twist the narrative of the case btw Obasanjo Vs Buhari (2003).
Kindly note that in that case, Buhari wanted a runoff because 1 of the 36 States election was voided due to rigging (Obasanjo got 99% in Ogun state). . .
Buhari argued that 25% in 2/3 of (35 states) & FCT is unconstitutional.
Watch video below :
In order wards, it ought to be 2/3 of (36 states) & FCT.
This issue was resolved that 25% in a minimum of 24 States & FCT is the requirement needed to be declared as president (aside having majority votes).
Wole Olanipekun is trying to be clever by half.
What Buhari wanted in 2003 is different from What LP want from the last election.

— Buhari wanted a runoff because 1 of the 36 States was cancelled due to rigging
— LP want an interpretation of 25% in the FCT, wether it is …
mandatory or not.
Instead of sticking with the argument, Tinubu & Shettimah’s team of Lawyers are busy using diversionary tactics among others.
Nobody is arguing that one State is superior to the other or for the election in any part of Nigeria’s 36 States be voided.
Uncle Wole Olanipekun, SAN should stay on the right argument and stop beating around the bush.
Bobo Chicago did not get the constitutional 25% in FCT AND 24 States of the Federation.
That AND can not be erased, it is mandatory 😜😜😜.
