Titi Abubakar Ask Nigerians To Vote For APC In 2023
During a recent campaign, Mrs. Abubakar was filmed telling voters to vote for the APC in the 2023 general election after condemning the party for failing to fulfill its promises to Nigerians.
She said, “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.”
