Betty Mocks Late Husband, Akeredolu’s Reliance On “Noisy Prayers” Against Cancer
By Imman Onyero
Former Ondo State First Lady Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has flayed her late husband’s reliance on spiritual healing as therapy for the prostate cancer that killed him saying that his reliance on all the “noisy prayers like people possessed by demons” was to no effect.
Mrs Akeredolu said that her husband’s refusal to heed her led to his death and her widowhood from prostrate cancer.
GWG.ng reports that Mrs Anyanwu-Akeredolu stated this in an exclusive interview with StarNews Publisher, Olumide Akinrinlola, published on Thursday.
GWG.ng reports that Mrs Anyanwu-Akeredolu who had before now enlivened Nigerian news and social media with her criticisms of her husband’s successor was also not unsparing of the Lucky Aiyedatiwa government.
Diagnosed with breast cancer 27 years ago, Mrs Akeredolu said her decision to seek medical care rather than relying on spiritual healers was a crucial step in her recovery.
Her husband Akeredolu died from prostate cancer on December 23, 2023.
According to Betty, Akeredolu was religious but she was “wired differently” and has no apologies for it.
Asked if she disapproved of prayers and rejected spiritual assistance during Akeredolu’s battle with cancer, she said: “What came out of their mountain climbing, ‘blessed’ handkerchiefs, water, olive oil, etc., from the GOs and all the noisy prayers like people possessed by demons?
“If Aketi had listened to me, I wouldn’t be a widow.”
On the state’s governance, Anyanwu-Akeredolu described her husband’s successor Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s administration as “rudderless”.
On the allegation that Aiyedatiwa’s finance commissioner was the one running the government, Betty Akeredolu said, “No comments.
“However, it’s worth noting that this same commissioner was sacked from her position during Aketi’s first administration.
“You can connect the dots as to why Lucky brought her back. We are watching.”
Also, the former first lady confirmed she would be pursuing her senatorial ambition.
