“Bloody Serpent” Akeredolu’s Widow Slams Late Husband’s Niece For Supporting Aiyedatiwa

The widow of the late former governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has knocked her husband’s niece, Funke Akeredolu Aruna, for supporting the incumbent governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, ahead of the governorship election in the state.

In a post on her Instagram page on Monday morning, Betty described Funke as shameless, adding that time will tell if she is “truly lucky”.

The late governor’s wife 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!”

Lucky Aiyedatiwa was sworn in as the Governor of Ondo State on December 27, 2023, following the death of his former boss, Akeredolu, who died of prostate cancer in Germany at the age of 67.

The Independent National Electoral Commission has fixed April 16, 2024, for the governorship primary, while the main election will be held in November.
