2023: I want to be the first Yoruba First Lady – Atiku’s wife encourages Nigerians to vote PDP

Titi, the wife of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, has declared her desire to become the first Yoruba woman to serve as Nigeria’s first lady since 1999.

On Tuesday, January 24, 2023, Titi made this statement in an interview with BBC Yoruba.

The wife of the presidential candidate, who is from Ilesha, a town in Osun state, requested support for her husband’s campaign in the interview with Yoruba people.

If her husband is elected president on February 25, Titi also said that she will continue her humanitarian activity.

She said her organization — Women Trafficking and Child Labour Eradication Foundation (WOTCLEF) — sponsored the bill that led to the establishment of National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) in 2003.

“Since the inception of the civilian government in 1999, no Yoruba person has become the first lady of the country. I want to be the first Yoruba woman,”.

“I want Yoruba people to support the candidacy of Atiku. Atiku’s victory will make me the first lady of the country.” Titi said in Yoruba

She went on to say that if her husband were elected president, he would bring unity to the nation and put an end to insurgency.
