25% FCT: Nigerians only unite on ‘AND’ when food is involved — Shehu Sani

Shehu Sani, a socio-political activist, has said Nigerians are only divided with the use of the word ‘AND’ in election matters but all united when same word is used for food.

This comes on the heels of petition seeking to nullify Bola Tinubu’s election on the grounds that he did not secure 25% of lawful votes cast in the federal capital territory (FCT).

Tinubu, who contested the February 28 presidential election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was declared the winner of the poll by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Tinubu secured a total of 8,794,726 votes to defeat Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who had the second-highest figure of 6,984,520 votes, while Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) came third with 6,101,533 votes.

However, Atiku and Obi approached the tribunal seeking to upturn Tinubu’s victory.

In his written address, Tinubu had asked the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) to dismiss the petition adding that failure to do so will lead to “anarchy”.

Taking to his Twitter handle Monday, Shehu Sani wrote; “In Rice and Beans all Nigerians have no problem with the word “AND”.

There has been debate on the subject matter since the last general election, as Peter Obi’s supporters popularly called ‘OBIdients’ believe Tinubu should be disqualified based on his failure to secure the required votes in FCT.
