Nigerians react to Tribunal's decleration of 'Mama Taraba' as the first female governor in Nigeria

The Taraba State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja has nullified the election of Governor Darius Ishaku of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

‎The tribunal headed by Justice Musa Danladi Abubakar declared the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state, Senator Aisha Jumai Alhassan, as the bona-fide winner of the April 11 governorship poll in the state.

Several Nigerians have taken to social media to congratulate the country's first female governor.
