Barely one week after his burial, the family of late Ondo state governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, may have entered into the trenches of political war over the choice of the late leader of the Aketi political family’s successor, ahead of the upcoming governorshiip election in Ondo state
This is as the widow of the late governor, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has described her late husband’s niece, Funke Akeredolu Aruna, as shameless following her support for the sitting governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, ahead of the November governorship election in the state.
Betty condemned Aruba’s romance with Aiyedatiwa through her Instagram account on Monday.
The governor, who had a running battle with his late boss before his demise was formerly Akeredolu’s deputy, and 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, as well as unsuccessful attempts by the State House of Assembly to impeach him
Betty Akeredolu who posted the picture of her husband’s niece wearing a cap with an inscription “I am lucky”, 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!”
Her 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, even as many have appealed to her to maintain her cool on issues relating to the election
