Betty Akeredolu, widow of late governor of Ondo, Rotimi Akeredolu, has hit out at the state governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
There has been no love lost between Mrs Akeredolu and Aiyedatiwa, a rift that was in the spotlight while Akeredolu who died in the office was sick and upon his death.
Then Aiyedatiwa was the deceased governor’s deputy.
This time, plans by the incumbent governor to have a memorial lecture in honour of his predecessor on Friday, December 27, is the apple of their discord.
The former first lady considered the programme as a ploy by the organisers to use his husband’s death to make money.
She took to X, formerly Twitter to make this claim.
Her words, “entry point to chop money on Aketi’s head.
“Lucky can’t be serious! Which legacy? Mtcheew. Lecture, my foot! This is not for Aketi because I and my family are not aware. Damn it!
“As the saying goes, you and your co-travellers cannot shave Aketi’s head in his absence. You cannot weep more than the bereaved. This is an insidious propaganda carried too far!
“Lucky, you are preoccupied with rubbishing Aketi’s legacy; you can’t succeed, anyway. Anybody close to Aketi and Arabinrin becomes your enemy. Your minions are scared to get close otherwise they lose their appointments.
“Now, you want to pretend by organising one yeye lecture for Aketi’s memorial as an entry point to chop money on Aketi’s head. You are on your own o! If this is not #yahoo #419 lecture, tell me what it is!”
