Expectations by Nigerians that history would be made at this year’s general election with the country getting its first female governor ever has been effectively dashed.
The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Taraba, Aisha Al-Hassan, who put up a strong showing in the well-fought race, has now reached the end of the road.
At the end of collation of votes for Saturday’s supplementary election in the state, Ms. Al-Hasan got 13,599 votes to trail the Peoples Democratic Party’s Darius Ishiaku, who garnered 53,120 votes.
The Independent National Electoral Commission has officially declared the PDP candidate winner of the election.
The INEC returning officer for the state, Muhammad Kyari, declared Mr. Darius governor-elect, having scored the highest number of votes and winning a quarter of the votes in almost all the local government areas in the state.
