This victory makes her the first female Local Government Council Legislative Leader in Plateau State and one of the few to have grace the seat in Nigeria.
Her unprecedented success is a good feat for the progress of democracy in Nigeria and Africa at large where female participation in politics is usually very low. Certain cultures and religions also discriminate the female gender from active participation in politics and decision making in the society.

For the moment, this is a time rejoice.
