Titi Atiku Abubakar, wife of the Presidential Candidate of the PDP,
Atiku Abubakar has said that her husband is a man of integrity,
stressing that she married him for his honesty and patriotism. She
spoke this weekend while receiving a campaign group, Women for Atiku,
that no one knew Atiku better than she does, having been married to him
for 47 years. She explained that contrary to unverified and vague
allegation of corruption by political detractors, Atiku was actually a
man whose integrity, honesty and sincerity earned him her love. In her
words, “I usually got confuse Whenever i read the false allegations of
corruption being spread by mischief makers against my husband in the
media. Most times i ask myself if they were referring to my husband whom
I have been married to for 47 years or a different person. Their
descriptions only befits the opposite of Atiku Abubakar, because he is
not corrupt as alleged”. According to her, since she married Atiku 47
years ago, she had never found him wanting in honesty, sincerity,
integrity and patriotism to his fatherland. She narrated how they were
brought together by divine destiny. “I was on my way back to Nigeria
from Benin Republic wher I went to visit my aunt at the idioroko boarder
and was accosted by ofifcers of the Customs Service. They had demanded
that I pay duty for a pair of brocade material which was a gift from
my aunt, an argument ensued between us and i told them to have the
brocade material for a keep because i couldn’t comprehend why i should
pay duty for a pair of brocade.Suddenly an officer by name Atiku
Abubakar who heard our argument summoned the officers to come along with
me to his office. He was the head of the command at the time.After
listening to both sides, Atiku demanded for the duty charge, dipped his
hand into his pocket and paid the duty and handed me the receipt smiling
and saying that ‘I will pay him back’.As the head of the command he
could have simply commanded them to let me go if he chose to, but his
patriotism to fatherland would never allow him do so, and that singular
act swept me off my feet and i eventually fell in love,” she said.The
