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,” he 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.”

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.

Nigerians react to Atiku and Titi’s marriage story

@chemy393 I don’t really understand this message, are you saying children should marry without their parents’ consent? How would you like it if your children marry without your consent? Just stick to the fact your marriage worked and stop encouraging rebellion against parents!

@Yusuph____ so what are you suggesting here? That we should go against our parents’ will too? lmao. This just gives me even more reason why you haven’t won the election yet, and you never will insha’allah.

@Baffffa Happy birthday, May she have a long life and prosperity, can’t wait to see her shoulder to shoulder with you on swearing day for the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 🇳🇬🤍.

@atiku_mission Over 50 years of love, partnership, and resilience. Atiku and Titi’s journey isn’t just a personal story, it’s a reflection of the patience, loyalty, and quiet strength Nigeria needs. Happy 75th, Mummy Titi. Your grace has shaped generations. 🕊️❤️

@Ebyscoltd Wait o, So Atiku is more than 75yrs and he still wanna rule 9ia
