My husband won 2019 presidential election but was robbed – Atiku’s wife

Titi, wife of Atiku Abubakar, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, says her husband was the winner 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.

However, speaking on Wednesday in Akure, Titi appealed to the people to vote for Atiku, noting that Atiku played a crucial role in the success of former president Olusegun Obasanjo administration.

“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.
