Another fact. Theodore Orji won the 2007 Abia state gubernatorial election while in prison. Infact Orji Uzor Kalu campaigned for him all through the period he was in Nigeria.

Iyiola Omisore also won a senatorial seat in Osun state while in prison

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 vice.


Yayaha bello contested, after the death of the original flag bearer and inec declaring the process inconclusive, yayaha bello was drafted in to replace him. He stood elections, had like 6k votes plus the inconclusive votes..
Re: Amaechi Became Governor Without Participating In Election by iguita: 10:23am On Mar 31, 2022
Yahaya Bello did the same too. His was due to the death of the Kogi state flag bearer and beef for Tinubu
Re: Amaechi Became Governor Without Participating In Election by iguita: 10:24am On Mar 31, 2022
His name was on the ballot. I think this also happened to Omisore who won elections while in prison.

The process was inconclusive before the death of the flagbearer.
Yahaya was illegally imported to conclude the elections and inherit the votes.

yahaya bello is also on the list. Tinubu played a major role
Which role did tinubu played?
James faleke that was abubakar audu's running mate lost out. They told him to be deputy to yahaya bello, he refused. He went back to the national assembly representing one fed constituency in lagos.

The logic then was since james didn't stand primaries and didnt buy form which is one of the criteria to be govr, he can't inherit the votes of his principal.
Yahaya bello bought form, contested at the primaries, he came a distance 3rd or so.
The person with the 2nd highest votes during the primaries had defected to another party, yahaya bello was the 3rd so he was drafted in.
Tinubu lost out.

He inherited votes yes, he stood the concluded part od election.
Apc had 6k plus votes during the bye-election.
Technically he contested, even though the bye-election waa inconsequential.

Making political parties instead of candidate to be declared winner in an election is a fraud.

People vote for candidates, not for political parties.

Yahaya bello too didn't contest. He assumed the post when the party candidate died b4 the official announcement of the governorship result. That's why he's been useless since day one of his tenure.

Technically, Yahaya Bello contested because there was a run off election with his name on the ballot. As at time of death,the election was inconclusive based on cancellations and some elections still outstanding. So when the bye elections held, it had his name!

Amaechi is the only one!
Re: Amaechi Became Governor Without Participating In Election by MMWandali: 10:59am On Mar 31, 2022
Did yahaya Bello participate in the election that saw him emerge as Governor during his first term?
The winner was the late candidate who voted in the election but died before the result was announced
He was not even the running mate for the candidate ....... Just undemocratically imposed by the APC and the courts

Dead candidate has no identity in Nigeria and any other place

It's now constitutional when it does happen again God forbids, it's the runner up in the primary of the party that won that will be made executive Governor

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.

Nope that's not entirely true.

Yahaya Bello have done same.
