The Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) has rested the argument of whether winning 25% in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was necessary in becoming president of Nigeria.
The Justice Tsammani-led panel said the voters in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja are equal to every other voters in the states in Nigeria, hence, Abuja has no special status.
