Atiku won 2019 election but was robbed, says wife

Titi, wife of Atiku Abubakar, Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, has said her husband won the 2019 presidential election.

The wife of the former vice president 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.

“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.

“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,” Titi said.

While speaking at the rally, the former vice president blamed the All Progressives Congress for the poor state of education in Nigeria.

Delta State Governor and PDP vice-presidential candidate, Ifeanyi Okowa, said if elected, the PDP administration will place special focus on youths and no university will go on strike again.
