Ondo State first lady stated this on Thursday while reacting to a comment after she shared a picture of herself and her husband, the governor sitting in a relaxed atmosphere of conviviality.
The wife of Ondo State Governor, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, says she has to be watchful to prevent her husband Rotimi Akeredolu from "eating more concoctions," alluding to a previous incident with his alleged mistress.
Ondo State first lady stated this on Thursday while reacting to a comment after she shared a picture of herself and her husband, the governor sitting in a relaxed atmosphere of conviviality.
She wrote in the shared picture, "Cough! (Odo by Kiss Daniel). I have carried my love away to a place he loves, odoyewu."
Commenting on the post and picture of the first couple in Ondo which have drawn hundreds of reactions, one Olorioko Akinjobi Olamide Samuel, wrote: "Mummy, my Mummy, he is always yours. Nothing, no one shall separate you two. I love you!"
Reacting to the comment, the first lady wrote, "Olorioko Akinjobi Olamide Samuel I know but I have to be at gate not to allow any ‘concotion’ to get in."
Mrs Akeredolu in a leaked audio which SaharaReporters published on Monday, January 16, revealed that her husband was sick.
In the 2 minutes 39 seconds WhatsApp audio recording obtained by SaharaReporters, Betty was also heard threatening Bunmi Ademosun, Special Adviser on Multilateral and Intergovernmental Affairs to Akeredolu, to stay away from the governor.
According to her, Ademosun has been giving the Ondo state governor concoction from fake pastors to treat himself.
The audio is reproduced below:
“This is Arabinrin, I have a message for Ademosun and I believe that she’s on this Aketi’s women platform. I want this woman to stay away from my husband, stop sneaking in concoction.
“According to her, they are from her fake pastors to give my husband to drink. We rely on medical care. We rely on western style of medical care and Aketi will get well.
“What has triggered this very message is her recent meetings to become the deputy governor of Ondo state. Look at you, what have you got upstairs to become the deputy governor of Ondo state? Peradventure anything happens to Aketi, Lucky takes over, it’s a constitutional thing. But for you to be scheming, for you to be scheming. I warned Aketi from the beginning that this woman is evil, this woman is no good and it’s happening. She has nothing good for you and I warned you. This woman is bloody evil. But I’m warning her for the very last time to stay away from my husband.
“And look, if you are dealing with an Igbo woman in this kind of situation, I’ll deal with you mercilessly that you won’t forget in your life. For the very last time Ademosun, stay away from Aketi, you won’t find it funny with me. You are a very terrible woman, go away and enjoy your look.”
SaharaReporters in April 2022 exclusively reported that Akeredolu was hospitalised in Germany after falling ill.
In 2019, the governor was out of the state for five weeks while seeking medical attention in Abuja.
“Yes, I needed to seek medical attention. It was nothing so serious as overblown because it is routine. But on my return, I needed to take some time off based on advice. It wasn’t as serious as people blew it,” he said after arriving in Nigeria from Germany.
The governor in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde said his health issue was not an unusual one.
Akeredolu insisted that he was discharging his official functions.
The statement read, “We have observed the growing anxiety about the State of Health of the Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, CON. The good people of the State and, by extension, other friends and well-wishers continued to express concern over the wellness of the Governor, especially since yesterday.
“We are constrained to respond to these concerns and assure our people that by the grace of God, there is no cause for alarm on the Governor’s state of health.
“Governor Akeredolu, just like every other mere mortals has had some health challenge for which he has since received treatment and recuperating speedily. Since the Governor is not a super human and the immunity his office enjoys does not extend to physical wellness or otherwise, the health issue is therefore not an unusual one.”
Meanwhile, Betty’s sharing of the couple’s picture coincided with their 42nd wedding anniversary.
