Ribadu, who is the pioneer Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, came second in the primary, polling 288 votes while Binani got 430.

With this victory, Binani has become the first woman to win the governorship nomination of a major political party in the state.

The immediate past Governor, Jibrilla Bindo, came third with 103 votes while Abdulrazaq Namdas, a serving member of the House of Representatives came 4th.

Others in the governorship contest were; Wafari Theman and Umar Mustapha.

Senator Aisha Alhassan aka Mama Taraba had in 2014 won the governorship ticket of the APC in Taraba State but lost to Governor Darius Ishaku in the main election.

Both western nations and rights groups have in recent times been pushing for more women’s participation in politics in Nigeria.

Currently, women occupy less than 10 per cent of elective offices in Nigeria.

The refusal of the National Assembly to pass bills that would have guaranteed greater women’s participation sparked a series of protests in March.

Senator Binani, is a graduate of Electrical Engineering at the University of Southampton and currently the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Sustainable Development Goals, a staunch advocate for women empowerment and gender equality.
