Mammoth crowd took over the entire streets of Yola in wild jubilation over the emergence of Aishatu Dahiru as the first female governor-elect in Nigeria.
Dahiru, the governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa the home state of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
It is a thing of joy this has happened in a community where women are relegated to the background. It is also an assurance of better things to come in Nigeria.
