Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, Funke Akeredolu-Aruna,
By Our Reporter
Between the widow of late former Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, Betty Anyanwu- Akeredolu and his niece,
Funke Akeredolu-Aruna, the centre can not longer hold.
So bad is the situation that the two women have started trading words. The squabble between them stem out of Funke’s support for the governorship ambition of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State.
Recall that Anyanwu-Akeredolu lambasted her late husband’s niece, Funke, on her Instagram account.
She 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”
But in a swift reaction, Akeredolu-Aruna said that the widow of his late brother was disappointed that she was not in their camp against the present Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
In her response, she wrote: “I happened to be one of the assistant conveners of Orimisan Lucky Aiyedatiwa Women in Ondo State, a supporting group for his reelection.
“It was during the programme that they took my picture. It is just politics and I want to believe that it is the opposition that took that picture and started sending it around to blackmail me.
“I think that is where the late governor’s wife now got the picture and you know she was disappointed that I’m not in their camp.
“Everybody knows I’m in Lucky’s camp. I have always been there when the whole shenanigans started.
“What happened between the late governor and Aiyedatiwa is just pure politics. Even on the issue of impeachment.
“Mummy that is fighting me and attacking me now, has her reason because she is not supporting this present governor. “At least from Lucky’s side, he gave my uncle a befitting burial which I think he did quite well.”
NATIONAL WAVES gathered that Betty Akeredolu’s hatred for Aiyedatiwa started while he was the deputy governor, the former first lady lampooned Aiyedatiwa for his alleged disloyalty to her husband while he was indisposed.
