Mrs Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, the widow of the late governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu has described her late husband’s niece, Funke Akeredolu Aruna, as a ‘shameless bloody serpent’ for supporting Lucky Ayedatiwa the current governor ahead of the November governorship election in the state.

Showing for distaste with Funke’s support for Aiyedatiwa, Betty 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!”

This outburst however generated outrage on her comment page as netizens opined that she should be mourning her husband and not engaging in a fight with anyone.

Some followers also appealed to her to maintain her calm on issues relating to the election.

Recall that Aiyedatiwa, who was formerly Akeredolu’s deputy, was sworn in on December 27, 2023, following the death of his former boss.

Before Akeredolu’s death, internal crisis had severed his relationship with Aiyedatiwa, bordering on alleged disloyalty of the then deputy governor, which led to the disbandment of his aides.

The State Assembly, through the backing of the governor, also attempted to impeach Aiyedatiwa, even though the details of the duo’s quarrel remained sketchy till Akeredolu’s death.

Funke Akeredolu Aruna had served as a protocol officer in the government of her late uncle.
