    25% Of FCT Votes: My Personal Views Not Relevant To Supreme Court’s Ruling – Agbakoba

    Chief Olisa Agbakoba, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) says the Supreme Court ruling on 25 per cent of votes in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to be declared as Nigeria’s President supercedes his personal views.

    While Agbakoba, a former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) had earlier said winning 25 per cent of votes in the FCT is compulsory to becoming president, the Supreme Court in October 2023 upheld the ruling by the Appeal Court that a candidate does not need to get at least 25 per cent of votes in the FCT to be declared as Nigeria’s President.

    Some Nigerians on social media had claimed Agbakoba had kept quiet after the verdict of the Supreme Court.

    But speaking in an interview with TheScrutiny, Agbakoba said his personal views are not relevant to the Supreme Court’s ruling.

    “My personal views are not relevant to what the Supreme Court has said. Supreme Court has resolved it that 25 percent of the votes in Abuja are not material to becoming president. That is the law”.
