Tinubu Is The First Candidate To Be Declared Winner Without Winning 25 percent In FCT – Obi
According to Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Tinubu is the first candidate to have won the presidency since 1999 without obtaining the necessary 25 percent of the vote in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Recall that Peter Obi had filed a petition against the president-elect Tinubu, alleging that Tinubu had lost the election because he had not received the required percentage of votes in the FCT, as required by law, to be declared the winner.
Obi argued that the declaration of Tinubu as the election’s victor was illegal in an effort to further support his petition while responding to a recent request by INEC for the election tribunal to dismiss his case.
In fact, based on the first respondent’s track record, the second respondent is the first candidate to have been declared the winner of the presidential election since 1999 without receiving 25% of the votes cast in the FCT.
“The unlawful return/declaration of the 2nd Respondent as the winner of the Presidential Election in the hurried circumstances that characterized the said return/declaration is manifestly unconstitutional.
