In a shocking outburst that has once again thrust the political landscape of Ondo State into turmoil, Betty Akeredolu, widow of the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, took to social media to accuse current Governor Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa of reveling in her husband’s death.
In a tweet on her X account, Starnews NG reports that she expressed her outrage over what she perceives as the governor’s insensitivity, particularly regarding the recent death of the Secretary to the State Government, Hon. Tayo Oluwatuyi.
Betty’s accusations were pointed and provocative, as she claimed that the governor and his camp were joyous when her husband passed away. She stated, “Aketi passed, Lucky declared, ‘Eku ORIRE’ (congratulations!). There was joy in his camp! Talk of evil person, do you need to look far?” She argued that Aiyedatiwa’s decision to refrain from celebrating his lavish 60th birthday due to the death of Oluwatuyi only served as confirmation of his insensitivity toward the late Akeredolu.
Her remarks ignited a firestorm on social media, drawing a wave of criticism from users who branded her comments as outrageous and urged her to find peace. Many have taken to the comment section to challenge her, questioning the validity of her claims and suggesting that her continued attacks on the governor are unwarranted.
One notable response came from netizen Sam Adebola, who struck back by highlighting a perceived hypocrisy in Betty’s actions. He reminded the public that while her husband was critically ill and hospitalized, Betty was planning a lavish 70th birthday celebration, a move that was met with significant backlash.
As the drama unfolds, the political rivalry between Betty Akeredolu and Governor Aiyedatiwa continues to dominate headlines, raising questions about the future of governance and political decorum in Ondo State.
Starnews NG reports that the public waits with bated breath to see how this saga will evolve, as both sides remain entrenched in their positions amid a growing chorus of voices on social media.
