Titi Abubakar, the wife of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has urged the people of Ogun State to help her in becoming the first Yoruba woman to occupy the First Lady office.
Abubakar made the appeal during the PDP’s campaign rally at Ake Palace grounds in Abeokuta on Wednesday.
Titi promised the electorate that her husband would make life easy for them if he is voted into power. Speaking in Yoruba language, she thanked her audience for supporting the Lado (Ladi Adebutu) for the governorship slot in the state and pleaded with the crowd to extend the same support to her husband.
When she asked the crowd who they would vote for in the upcoming presidential election they shouted Atiku! Atiku!…”She said, “If you vote for Atiku, there will be ease of life. Only Atiku knows the way. He will provide social amenities for you. Atiku has done it before. Atiku worked with Baba Obasanjo.
“Atiku headed the economic team. Atiku will provide jobs for youths and women. Atiku has promised. I also took part. I took back all the girls that were abroad for prostitution and I rehabilitated them.
“No Yoruba woman has had the opportunity to be a first lady. I beg you, men and women, make one of your own to be the first, I promise. I won’t forget you, and you won’t regret this.”
