As controversies arising from the the February 25, 2023 presidential election continue to rage, a member of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, Chris Nwaokobia, has revealed that judges had already ruled on two different occasions that for someone to be the president of Nigeria, such a person needs 25 percent votes in Abuja.
Nwaokobia therefore stated that he does not understand why some people has been insisting that Bola Tinubu does not need to get 25 percent votes in Abuja.
According to Chris Nwaokobia, judges had already ruled on two different occasions that for someone to be the president of Nigeria, such a person needs 25 percent votes in Abuja.
Chris Nwaokobia disclosed that between 2004 and 2005 and between 2007 and 2008, it was ruled that a candidate has to win 25 percent of votes in Abuja to be declared the winner of presidential election.
Chris Nwaokobia noted that considering the judgements of the court, he does not know why Mahmood Yakubu declared Bola Tinubu the winner of the presidential election without getting the 25 percent in Abuja.
Chris Nwaokobia revealed that his conviction about that the inability of Bola Tinubu to secure 25 percent votes in Abuja is part of what has made him not to accept the INEC declaration.
