Once
again congratulation to the first female governor, what a man can do a woman
can do better if given the OPPORTUNITY, Lol! The Taraba state governorship election was one of the
most difficult result to predict.
Unlike in many other
states, it was not evident who would emerge winner of the polls. Analysts had
predicted that the competition would be quite tough between the Peoples
Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress.
But more interestingly, it
was the first time in the history of the country that a woman, Aisha Al-Hassan
of the APC, had the chance to emerge the governor.
On April 13, Monday, the
Independent National Electoral Commission declared the April 11 polls in the
state inconclusive, because the total number of votes rejected and cancelled were
more than the total vote with which the PDP’s Darius Ishaku led Al-Hassan of
the APC.
The PDP polled 317,198
votes, while the APC received 262,386. PDP loyalists were disappointed with the
INEC announcement of the cancellation, while APC supporters received new hope.
See how Nigerians reacted
to the development.
While some backed Mrs
Al-Hassan, others shared quite angry comments insisting there was no place for
a woman in Nigerian politics.
Nigerians express their opinions on the issue:
Oladele Odeyemi: “Am not
too sure that a deep northern state will be ready for a woman governor now. She
can be schemed out.”
Mike Terry Inegbese: “We
hoping for first female governor…”
Mohammed Musa: “Hope she
wins and be an eye open to other women contendants. Gender equality is
paramount in democracy and democratization process especially in Nigeria
Politics.”
Goddish A Bank: “You people
should not be deceived woman can’t win…after counting them will tell you
stories…mama go cook for your husband…you are a helper to man.”
Twitter users also did not
remain indifferent to the matter:
