| Aisha Jummai Alhassan, member of the outgoing senate |
She was on the cusp of achieving the seeming
impossible, whiskers away from breasting the Guber victory tape (no pun
intended) and making history.
Aisha Jummai Alhassan, female and candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) was in an early lead,
prompting widespread jubilation that she was all but confirmed as the
country’s first female governor.
What would have been the emergence of the first
elected female governor in Nigeria may have been aborted, as collation of
results by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Taraba state
reaches its final phase.
But
Aisha has now been overtaken by Darius Ishaku of the People’s Democratic
Party (PDP). While she has polled 261,326 votes, Ishaku has 310,805 to his
name.
Results
from 15 local governments areas of the state have already been
announced, and only one local government is left.
