Betty Anyanwu-akeredolu : Akeredolu’s widow criticizes late husband’s niece for supporting Aiyedatiwa.
Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, the widow of the late former governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, has expressed disapproval of her husband’s niece, Funke Akeredolu Aruna, for endorsing the incumbent governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, ahead of the state’s governorship election.
In a post shared on her Instagram page on Monday morning, Betty referred to Funke as shameless and questioned the sincerity of her luck. She stated that time will reveal Funke’s true fortune.
The late governor’s wife wrote, “Behold the face of Aketi’s niece, Funke Akeredolu Aruna, the former deputy chief protocol to Aketi, shamelessly parades as ‘I am lucky.’ Bloody serpent! Time will tell if she is truly lucky!”
Lucky Aiyedatiwa assumed office as the Governor of Ondo State on December 27, 2023, following the demise of his predecessor, Akeredolu, who passed away from prostate cancer in Germany at the age of 67.
It has been reported that the Independent National Electoral Commission has scheduled April 16, 2024, for the governorship primary, with the main election slated for November.
