Titi Abubakar, wife of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has sparked controversy on social media after she called Nigerians to ‘vote’ for her husband’s arch-rival, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Titi Abubakar Ask Nigerians To Vote For APC In 2023
During a recent campaign, Mrs. Abubakar was filmed telling voters to vote for the APC in the 2023 general election after condemning the party for failing to fulfill its promises to Nigerians.
She said, “By the 25th of February, everybody should come, if you have not collected your PVC, go and collect your PVC… we should vote APC; APC promised to do so many things for the country but we can see ourselves now the way we are.”

The video has triggered mixed reactions on social media with some people saying Titi’s comment was “obviously a slip of tongue”, while others capitalized on her mistake.
See some Twitter reactions below:
Wife to Atiku, Titi Abubakar, has just urged Nigerians to vote APC on February 25th next year. In all honesty, this is obviously a slip of tongue, but we hold the view that it is unreasonable to make a mountain out of such molehills, especially when you quickly correct yourself! pic.twitter.com/zIePlqSkEv

A big thank you to our dear mother, Mama Titi Atiku Abubakar for endorsing the APC, despite your husband & our father, Atiku running under PDP
We know you are just and fair. We are sure you understand that Bola Tinubu is much more competent than Atiku. Your act is very patriotic pic.twitter.com/HvPRc10O9Q
