My husband deserves to win so that Nigeria can have Atiku's wife, a Yoruba First Lady.

 Titi Abubakar, the wife of Atiku Abubakar, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, has urged Nigerians to elect him president so that the country will have a Yoruba first lady. It will be an honor for the Yoruba generation, Hajia Titi Atiku-Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate's wife, said in an interview with BBC Yoruba.

“Since when Obasanjo, we have not had a Yoruba First Lady, so I deserve to be seated in Aso rock as first Yoruba first lady”

Titi Abubakar went on to say that she wanted to end the curse of Yorubas not having produced a First Lady since democracy's foundation. To help her realize her ambition, Titi believes that all Nigerians of Yoruba ancestry should support her husband's campaign.

“I’m from Osun state. In the past, Christians and Muslims did things together. My parents allowed me to marry him. But now, we don’t know where the world is going. My husband saw all these and he said he wants to return Nigeria to a point of unity.” she stated.

Since then, many Netizens have been angered by The Interview.
One Deji wrote “Can you imagine, So we should vote for Atiku because you want to be Yoruba First Lady Abi??? Dey play ooo”
One Edochie wrote “With all due respect ma
We are voting for ACCOUNTABILITY, CREDIBILITY, & COMPETENCE
We are not voting because of Yoruba First Lady
Go and rest and leave the seat for vibrant people , imagine you making a disheartening speech on national television, May God have mercy on you ma’am.”
One Niyi wrote “So you want us to vote cos you will First Lady, do you think it’s about breaking records, we are to find a better Nigeria and you are talk about your own post”
A few weeks ago, Atiku Abubakar's wife appeared in a viral video urging supporters to support the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the next presidential elections.

At a recent rally, Titi Abubakar made a slip of the language when she urged her audience to support the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

On social media, the video of her giving the speech has gone viral.
Her words: “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.”
Festus Keyamo, a spokesman for the APC Presidential Campaign Council, responded to the video by saying it was clear Mrs. Abubakar made a mistake in her speech.
“Wife of 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 a view that it is unreasonable to make a mountain out of such molehills, especially when you quickly correct yourself” Festus Keyamo wrote.
