Atiku Abubakar, the former vice-president, has penned a heartfelt tribute to his wife Titi in celebration of her birthday.
Titi marked her 75th birthday on June 6, 2025.
In an X post on Saturday, Atiku expressed gratitude for Titi’s “unwavering love and companionship” over the past five decades.
The former Adamawa governor also recalled how they defied their parents’ wishes to marry while describing her as a “blessing beyond measure”.
The 78-year-old statesman praised his wife for her “patience, resilience, and devotion” throughout their journey together.
“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,” Atiku wrote.
“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.”
