He Was Three Years Younger, But Loved Me All The Way – Betty Akeredolu

Former First Lady of Ondo State, Mrs Betty Akeredolu has opened up on the enduring love between her and her deceased husband despite being three years his senior in age.

The claims of Mrs Betty Akeredolu on the love between them came to surface online a day after the death of the former governor.

“I met my husband in Enugu, he was a youth corper then in Enugu State. I was also posted to Enugu. So, a friend of mine visited me and she came along with her boyfriend who also came along with my husband. That was how we met and it was love at first sight. I think people frown at love at first sight but it worked for us.

I fell in love with his broad shoulders. Then he was really looking very cute. I can still remember what he was wearing that day – a red shirt, long sleeves and jeans trousers.

That was 37 years ago. He couldn’t even take me out because he didn’t have money as a youth corper. It was quite magnetic and that was it.

There is a three-year age difference between us. I am older than him anyway. I was like 25 then while he was 22. It was love that really endured. I had graduated and in my place (Owerri) when a girl graduates from the University, suitors come from left, right and centre.

And your parents would expect you to go for a made man with everything, but I have always known that there was no way I could have married a self-made man. I will better build a home from the scratch with you because I want to have a say in my home”.
