“If Aketi had listened to me, I wouldn’t be a widow.”
Speaking further on the state’s governance, Anyanwu-Akeredolu described her husband’s successor Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s administration as “rudderless”.
Additionally, 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.
