Former First Lady of Ondo state, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has explained how the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu would have cheated death.
In an exclusive interview with Star News Publisher, Akinrinlola, published on Thursday, February 13, Betty Akeredolu stated that she would not have been a widow if the late governor, her husband, had listened to her.
As reported by Vanguard, the former Ondo First Lady who was diagnosed with breast cancer 27 years ago, said her decision to seek medical care rather than relying on spiritual healers was a crucial step in her recovery.
According to Betty, Akeredolu was religious but she was “wired differently” and has no apologies for it.
She spoke on how she disapproved of prayers and rejected spiritual assistance during Akeredolu’s battle with cancer.
Betty Akeredolu said:
“What came out of their mountain climbing, ‘blessed’ handkerchiefs, water, olive oil, etc., from the GOs and all the noisy prayers like people possessed by demons?
“If Aketi had listened to me, I wouldn’t be a widow.”
Speaking further on the state’s governance, Anyanwu-Akeredolu described her husband’s successor Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s administration as “rudderless”.
Additionally, On the allegation that Aiyedatiwa’s finance commissioner was the one running the government, Betty Akeredolu said:
“No comments.
“However, it’s worth noting that this same commissioner was sacked from her position during Aketi’s first administration.
“You can connect the dots as to why Lucky brought her back. We are watching.”
Also, the former first lady confirmed she would be pursuing her senatorial ambition.
