Former First Lady of Ondo State, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has claimed that the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu would have been alive if he listened to her.
Anyanwu-Akeredolu stated this in an exclusive interview with StarNews Publisher, published on Thursday.
After being diagnosed with breast cancer 27 years ago, she decided to seek medical care instead of consulting spiritual healers.
According to her, this was a crucial step in her recovery.
However, her husband Akeredolu died from prostate cancer on December 23, 2023.
According to Betty, Akeredolu was religious but she was “wired differently.
When asked if she disapproved of prayers and rejected spiritual assistance during Akeredolu’s battle with cancer, Betty said: “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.”
