“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.”

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.

“You can connect the dots as to why Lucky brought her back. We are watching.”
