Titi Abubakar, the wife of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, says God could have destined her husband to become president in 2023.
She stated this while reacting to his serial but unsuccessful run for the nation’s highest office, Sunday Punch reported.
Since leaving office as Vice President in 2007, Atiku has on four occasions vied for the presidency – 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2019.
In 1993, he contested the Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential primaries and lost to Bashorun Moshood Abiola.
In 2019, he was the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), losing to incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari.
“When my husband was in school, he was into politics. And once you are a politician, you will continue to be a politician. Yes, he has been in politics, since the time of MKO Abiola, but it is destiny.
“If God said the time is not ripe, there’s nothing one can do. You continue trying.
“God says we should pray without ceasing, and we shall continue to pray.
“If it is your heart desire, you continue to pray to God and worry Him, until He gives you that thing you want.
“So, I cannot tell my husband not to play politics. Maybe, God has said this is the right time for him,” Titi Abubakar said.
