Mrs Akeredolu Pays Glowing Tribute to Late Husband, Hits Hard on Critics
Betty, Widow of the late former governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has penned down tribute to her late husband.
The former Ondo First Lady lamented the death of her husband thus expressing her frustration with the mockery she has faced from both friends and enemies of her husband.
Betty Akeredolu stated that many people were at crossed with her because of the love and cordiality that existed between her and the late hubby while alive, submitting that these individuals lacked respect for their own wives and were therefore offended by Akeredolu’s public display of love towards her.
“It’s me, your adorable Betty. You just left me. Just like that! It hurts. Badly it hurts. Now alone to face all manners of mockery from the so-called friends and adversaries alike. Now alone. A beg o! Can an Amotekun generalissimo be a weakling? Mbanuu! It doesn’t add up nau. Haba!”
“Not a few lashed out that you (Akeredolu) were a weakling because you loved me. I don’t think so in their homes while growing up they saw their mothers trampled upon as doormats. By the way, do they know what love is?
“They copied the template and treated their wives as pieces of furniture that can be easily discarded as trash. In many instances, the subjugation was garnished with beatings while the community looked the other way and remained unperturbed by gender-based violence. Beaten up like punch bags.”
Former governor Rotimi Akeredolu died on the 27th of December, 2023 in Germany during a prolonged battle with Leukaemia.
