Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, the widow of the late former Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, took to Instagram to criticize her husband's niece, Funke Akeredolu Aruna, for supporting the current governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
In a post on Monday, March 4, Betty shared a photo of Funke, who was previously the deputy chief protocol to Akeredolu and referred to her as a "bloody serpent" for endorsing Aiyedatiwa ahead of the upcoming November governorship election in Ondo State. Betty's public condemnation reveals internal family conflicts over political loyalties and alliances.
Aiyedatiwa, who was once Akeredolu's deputy, assumed office on December 27 after Akeredolu's demise. Notably, the late governor's relationship with Aiyedatiwa had soured before his death, leading to internal strife and an attempted impeachment by the State Assembly, backed by Akeredolu.
Betty's public denouncement sheds light on the complex dynamics within the Akeredolu family and their involvement in Ondo State politics, adding a layer of intrigue to the upcoming election.
