And what is the meaning of 25 percent of 37 states? The law states 25 percent votes in two-thirds (or 66.7 percent) of 37 states. Two-thirds of 37 states is 24.67. So 24 states is applied not 25, just to err on the side of caution. 1 Like |

tesppidd: Why should 24 be applied when if u round up 24.67 it becomes 25. Both cannot stand.its meant to be 2/3 of 36 + 1fct 4 Likes |

genkins:That's why I said they use 24 in order to play safe, err on the side of caution. If they use 25 states, somebody who makes only 24 states will go to court and argue that 24.6 states is not up to 25. Hence the use of 24. |

tesppidd:Who is THEY? The truth is it is a grey area One day someone will get 24 and they will go to court Go and study the 12 2/3 judgment of 1979 If that logic is followed it would be 25% in 24 plus 25% of 1/3 of the 25th state ie 1/12 or 8.33% in the 25th state That was the logic that brought Shagari to power He got 25% in 12 and in Kano the 13th he got 20% We had 19 states then His lawyer Richard Akinjixe argued,successfully that he needed 25% of 2/3 in Kano= 16.66% and he got 20% The Supreme Court agreed but said in future it should be 13 1 Like |

Femmyfamous4u:It's not about this particular election. What if someone has exactly 24 states? If Abuja is treated as a state, is 25% of 37 states not greater than 24? For them to say minimum of 24 states means that Abuja is separate and 25% is compulsory in Abuja 3 Likes |

Ogbuefi2020: To get it clearer, see Abuja as a state. So, the person needs 25% in 25 states. |

This matter was decided by the supreme court in 1979 in a decision of a lawsuit brought by the late Obafemi Awolowo against the then president elect late Shehu Shagari. You can google the court's decision as it will guide the supreme court in it's ruling on the matter |

omonnakoda:No one can go to court for 24 because the constitution has clearly spelt out 24 states not two thirds. Using the term "two-thirds" is what causes the grey area. But it is now expressly stated 24 states, so no one can challenge that. If the constitution was still stating "two-thirds" then it would be a problem. |

nonhuman:Lol This is law not mathematics. If the law expresses two-thirds as 25 states then it will be total absolute chaos. Anyone who makes 24 will run to court to challenge it. |

Shagari had 25 % in 12 states out of 19. In 1979 election. It was also a rule in the constitution that 25% in 2/3rd of 19 states At that time Lagos was FCT. 2/3 of 19 .= 12.667 The Supreme court ratified his victory based on 12 states. |
