In a shocking turn of events, the demise of Ondo State Governor Akeredolu from cancer has taken an unexpected twist. A Twitter influencer, known as Oloye, sparked a viral controversy by blaming the late governor's wife, Betty Akeredolu, for his death. In a video that gained rapid circulation, Oloye accused Mrs. Akeredolu of orchestrating her husband's return from Germany, alleging he was brought back to Ondo to engage in illicit activities.
Oloye claimed that Betty Akeredolu is amassing wealth, seizing properties across Nigeria, acquiring significant assets in Ibadan, and allegedly neglecting the governor's caregivers. He went on to express tribal sentiments, criticizing her Yoruba ethnicity and predicting dire consequences if his children marry someone from the Igbo tribe.
The inflammatory video has ignited a heated debate on social media, with users condemning Oloye's bigotry and tribalism. Despite the controversy, Oloye invited the EFCC to investigate the alleged misappropriation of properties by the late governor's wife and son. As the online community grapples with these sensational claims, Ondo State mourns the loss of Governor Akeredolu, and the accusations against his wife add an unexpected layer of complexity to an already tragic situation.
