Their stance is based on the fact that Bello did not participate in the overall election. They also delared that INEC’s action in trying to transfer the votes earlier garnered by the dead APC candidate, Prince Audu Abubakar, to another person is “completely impractical and alien to the nation’s constitution and the Electoral Act.”
