‘Titi and I got married with no family members in attendance,’ Atiku recalls 50 years of romance

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has celebrated his wife, Titi on her 75th birthday.

In a post on his X handle, Atiku, who was candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, says he couldn’t have married a better wife than Titi.

He recalled how he and Titi married 50 years ago without the approval of both their families. He said Titi has been a blessing beyond measure to him and their family.

Atiku’s post reads: “On the occasion of my beloved wife, Titi’s 75th birthday anniversary celebrations, I am proud to say that I couldn’t have married a better wife.

“Titi and I got married against our parents’ wishes in the most daring way, with no family members, with only two friends. Today, we have been married for more than 50 years. Titi has been a blessing beyond measure to me and our family.

“I don’t know how we started calling ourselves Mummy and Daddy. I thank her for being patient with my shortcomings.

“Patience is a virtue you can never regret. I encourage spouses to continue to be patient with each other. I wish Titi many more years of bliss and blessings.”
