Akeredolu’s Wife Blasts Late Husband’s Niece Over Ondo Politics

Few days after her husband’s burial, wife of the late Ondo State Governor, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has described her late husband’s niece, Funke Akeredolu Aruna, as shameless for supporting the sitting governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, ahead of the November governorship election in the state.

While speaking through her Instagram account on Monday morning, Betty posted alongside the picture of her husband’s niece wearing a cap with an inscription “I am lucky”, Betty said, “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!”

____This outburst has, however, generated outrage on social media as many believe she should be mourning her husband and not engaging in a fight with anyone while some appealed to her to maintain her cool on issues relating to the election.

It would be recalled that the governor, who was formerly Akeredolu’s deputy, was sworn in on 27th December following the death of his former boss.

Before the governor’s death, internal wrangling had severed his relationship with Aiyedatiwa, bordering on alleged disloyalty of the then deputy governor, which led to the disbandment of his aides.

The State Assembly, through the backings of the governor, also attempted to impeach Aiyedatiwa, even though the details of the duo’s quarrel remained sketchy till Akeredolu’s death.

At the time of filing this report, no response from Funke Akeredolu over the outburst of Betty.
