Senator Jumai Aisha Alhassan of APC has become the first elected female governor in Nigeria.
Although the votes have not been officially announced by INEC, she is
leading the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Darius Ishaku, in Taraba state
by a wide margin.
When announced, Alhassan will be the first elected female governor in the history of Nigeria.
Oh by the way, she won’t be the first female governor in Nigeria’s democratic history.
What she will be is – the first elected female governor ever recorded.
Virginia Etiaba, who became governor in Anambra after then governor
Peter Obi was impeached, holds the title of the first female to govern a
state.
Nigerians, especially the female gender, are already celebrating in advance of the official announcement by INEC.
