Titi, wife of Atiku Abubakar, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, says her husband won the 2019 presidential election.
She said this on Wednesday at the PDP rally in Akure, Ondo state.
In 2019, President Muhammadu Buhari was declared winner of the election, after he beat Abubakar, his closest contender, by close to four million votes.
Abubakar had challenged the victory of Buhari in the election, but lost at the tribunal and the supreme court.
“My people, I, your daughter, am standing in your presence to tell you that my husband has done it before. The last election was won by my husband, but we were robbed,” Titi said.
“My husband, indeed, is a Fulani but he is not a killer and we have been together. I taught him our culture and tradition, and he is part of us.
“During [the] Obasanjo [administration], it was Atiku that brought the likes of el-Rufai, Ngozi Okonjo-iweala, and others who did well for Nigeria.”
While speaking at the rally, Abubakar blamed the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the poor state of education in the country.
Ifeanyi Okowa, Delta governor and PDP vice-presidential candidate, said if elected, the PDP administration will place special focus on youths and no university will go on strike again.
“In the past eight months, the youths were at home and that shouldn’t be the case. Atiku has made provisions to ensure no university goes on strike as special attention would be placed on the youths of the country, as well as set aside funds to support youths who would want to go into entrepreneurship,” Okowa said.
“As long as you vote Atiku, hunger and unemployment will be a thing of the past.” (The Cable)
