Mourning wife of the late Ondo state Governor Betty Anyawu-Akeredolu on Monday publicly attacked niece of her late husband Funke Akeredolu-Aruna for publicly showing support for the incumbent Lucky Ayedatiwa ahead of next year’s governorship election.
Betty had posted the photo of Funke Akeredolu Aruna on her instagram page saying Betty said, “I am lucky. 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!”
NPO Reports that Akeredolu was buried last month after his death last year marking the end of his administration.
His then deputy, Lucky Ayedatiwa, had been sworn in as the new governor.
The Governor has however expressed his desire to seek re-election next year.
Akeredolu’s death was preceded by series of political brinksmanship especially as Betty led an alleged war of attrition against the then deputy governor and his supporters.
Akeredolu’s wife’s outburst on instagram Monday morning has caused series of reactions as many condemn her for coming out for comments when she is supposed to be mourning her husband.
“Can someone help Her Excellency, by withdrawing her phone for now?” An instagram user retorted
Another user said , “Ha! Mummy please don’t come out for anybody. The Lord console you, ma’am.”
“You’re not God. Lucky is the next Executive Governor of Ondo State. See person wey just buried hin husband. Shameful,” another one said.
