Titi Abubakar, the wife of the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, urged residents of Lagos State on Sunday to view the upcoming election as a chance to end the long-standing dominance of a single party in the state. During a town hall meeting, Titi, who is a native of Lagos, characterized Atiku as a unifier with the necessary experience to address Nigeria’s challenges, drawing on his background as a former vice president.
She emphasized the need for change, stating, “One party has been ruling this state; we have to fight for ourselves. We have been in bondage for too long, and we must fight for our children. Enough is enough.” Titi highlighted Atiku’s commitment to the nation, saying, “He has a covenant with Nigerians. He promised his life to do so much for Nigeria because Nigeria has done so much for him.” She outlined Atiku’s five key agendas: unifying Nigeria, addressing insecurity, restructuring the country, improving education for parents and children, and supporting individuals with disabilities.
Titi urged the audience, saying, “All of these depend on you and me. If you vote for Atiku, he will fulfill his promises as he has said. Atiku wants to wipe our tears. He matches his words with authority. He aims to rescue, restore, restructure, rebuild, and bring back lost glory to Nigeria. If you vote for Atiku, you have voted for me, your daughter, and I will not forget you.”
In his remarks, the PDP governorship candidate for Lagos State, Abdul-Azeez Adediran, also known as Jandor, expressed confidence that the opposition party would succeed in unseating the ruling party at both the state and national levels. He stated, “This will be the very first time we will defeat the APC. We have been going to the people from ward to ward. In Lagos, we believe in the promise of a better tomorrow for the people.”
Additionally, the PDP deputy governorship candidate, Funke Akindele, encouraged women to continue mobilizing votes throughout the state. PDP chieftain Dr. Abimbola Ogunkelu reinforced the message, declaring, “We will not allow our mandate to be stolen in Lagos State. The time has come. If PDP emerges, we shall reform all wrongs.”
