FCT not superior to any state, Tribunal on 25% votes controversy

The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal has ruled that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) is not treated specially in the election as it is not superior to any state.

The tribunal said the interpretation of the 25 percent votes cast in the  FCT by the Labour Party (LP) is “fallacious”.

“With due respect to counsel to the petitioners, their interpretation of the provision of the constitution, as regards the 25 percent in Abuja, is fallacious if not completely ludicrous,” the court said on Wednesday.
