Yahaya bello didn't contest too na.

This in my opinion was one of the most lawless action ever taken by INEC and co in the country, claiming necessity.

The most legal thing that ought to have been done in that scenario was to complete the postponed elections with the dead candidate since elections started before his death and then subsequently swear in the deputy.

The law was clear what to do before elections started and the candidate dies, it was also clear what to do if they die before swearing in. Elections started and was inconclusive before he died. It should have been completed as it was before the second part of the law kicked in.

Inec doesn’t recognize the deputy. Infant their name doesn’t appear in ballot papers. But the first runner up and other contestants of the primaries was recognized by inec

The Nigerian Politician Who Became Governor Without Participating In Election

It is a fact that the candidate/Party with the
majority of votes is qualified to be declared
the winner of any Election in Nigeria.
Despite the fact that specific factors were
involved, Rotimi Amaechi, the immediate Past
Governor of Rivers State and the current
Minister of Transportation, became Governors
without participating in the Election.

How Did This Happen?

Amaechi was the winner of the PDP
Governorship Primaries in Rivers State in
2007.
However, during the April 2007 General
Elections, his name was replaced with that of
Sir Celestine Omehia, who appeared on the
ballot.

The People Democratic Party, PDP won the
election, Amaechi then went to court, and on
October 26, 2007, the Supreme Court ruled in
his favor and ordered Omehia's removal as
Governor of Rivers State, as well as the
issuance of a Certificate of Return to Amaechi,
who was the Authentic Winner of the PDP
Gubernatorial Primaries.

Amaechi remains the only Nigerian politician
to have accomplished this achievement till
date.
