4. Aisha Alhassan

Aisha Alhassan

Also known as Mama Taraba, she was the gubernatorial aspirant of the APC in Taraba state. She was declared winner of the election, thus making her the Nigeria’s first female governor-elect. This was after a Taraba state governorship election petition tribunal sitting in Abuja nullified the election of Governor Darius Ishaku of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The case is still in court as Ishaku appealed the verdict of the tribunal.

She is currently serving as the minister of women affairs after being nominated and sworn in by President Muhammadu Buhari in November.
