Vanguard quoted her as saying:

“By the 25th of February, everybody should come, if you have not collected your PVC, go and collect your PVC… we should vote APC; APC promised to do so many things for the country but we can see ourselves now the way we are.”

Festus Keyamo, Adamu Garba, others react

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.

He said:

"Wife to Atiku, Titi Abubakar, has just urged Nigerians to vote APC on February 25th next year. In all honesty, this is obviously a slip of tongue, but we hold the view that it is unreasonable to make a mountain out of such molehills, especially when you quickly correct yourself!"
