Mrs Titi Abubakar, the wife of the Africa Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has said her husband is not seeking Nigerians’ money but intends to give back to society if elected president in 2027.

Titi made the statement while campaigning for the former Vice-President at a rally in a video shared by TV Platinum on its X page on Friday.

She presented Atiku as an experienced politician and philanthropist who, if elected, would not need to learn the responsibilities of the presidency on the job.

“Atiku is a sellable material. That is why I’m so proud of my husband. Atiku is a philanthropist. Atiku has done it before. Atiku is not going to learn on the job, and Atiku is not a novice,” she said.

According to her, Atiku would use his experience to guide Nigerians and prepare a successor who could take over after his tenure.

“Atiku wants to tutor you, children, how politics is being made Nigerians will be yearning for Atiku for a second time — that he said he was going to do just one time. But Nigerians will yearn for him and bring him, “ she said.

Titi also criticised the state of the Nigerian economy and governance, expressing concern about the difficulties facing citizens under the current administration.

“Now, today, we have no constitution. We have no rule of law. Nothing is working. Our economy is in shambles. And I wonder how people are living. I wonder how people are eating,” she said.

She further said Atiku would focus on developing his deputy during his tenure, potentially paving the way for the running mate to succeed him.

“By the grace of God, when Atiku comes to this table, I told you, people will yearn that Atiku should continue and do a second time. By then, he will have tutored his deputy. Maybe the deputy will take over from him,” she said. (Nigerian Tribune)
