Atiku's wife makes serious blunder, says "we should vote APC"
Meanwhile, Titi Abubakar, the wife of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, made a blunder as she called on Nigerians to vote for the All Progressives Congress in the 2023 presidential election.
In a video which has gone viral on social media, Titi, while condemning the APC for failing to fulfil its promises to Nigerians made a gaffe as she mistakenly told citizens to vote for the ruling party against her husband's PDP.
Reacting to the video, the spokesperson for the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, said the statement by the wife of the PDP presidential flag-bearer is a slip of tongue.
