Reports credited to Vanguard have it that Aisha Alhassan has been declared winner of the April 11 governorship election in Taraba state, thus making her Nigeria’s first female governor.
This was after a Taraba state governorship election petition tribunal sitting in Abuja nullified the election of Governor Darius Ishaku of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Aisha Jummai Alhassan has emerged as Nigeria’s first female governor
According to Vanguard, the tribunal headed by Justice Musa Danladi Abubakar declared Alhassan, popularly referred to as Mama Taraba as the bonafide winner of the election.
The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is also among the ministerial nominees who were screened and confirmed by the
Nigerian senate.
Reliable sources in Taraba have also confirmed the report to Naij.com. This means President Muhammadu Buhari will have to shop for a replacement for the minister-designate in the coming days.
This further quells reports which made rounds that Alhassan’s nomination by the president may have been a way of compensating her from losing out at the polls earlier this year.
