The death of Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, the former governor of Ondo State, will grieve her husband deeply, according to his wife, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu.
In her eulogy for her husband, the widow said that the public would make fun of her in every way once Akeredolu died.
Many people, especially those who were supposed to be close to Betty’s late husband, thought he was weak because of his love for her, according to Betty.
She said in the contribution that her tribe and the love she shared with Akeredolu were the reasons the state’s citizens despised her.
It’s Betty, your charming little friend. You departed from my life abruptly! It is quite painful. A pain
Now I’m on my own to deal with the ridicule from both my friends and enemies.
Because you loved me, many people attacked you, calling you weak and pathetic. Abego! Are weaklings possible for an Amotekun generalissimo? Oh my! Nau, that just doesn’t make sense.
Hey there! Do they understand love, by the way? Not in my opinion. As children, they witnessed their mothers being used as doormats in their homes. Floundered around like squatters.
Taking the model as an example, they treated their spouses like disposable furniture.
In many cases, the oppression was accompanied by physical violence, and the community chose to ignore and be unconcerned as gender-based violence was prevalent across the country. It doesn’t matter if you’re a governor or not; in civilized countries, beating your wife gets you jail time.
They find it incredible that a man from Nigeria can love his wife. Only Oyibo men are loved by them. They find it offensive that a Yoruba man can have feelings for an Igbo woman. How is it possible? Oh, lasan! Igbo lasan!
Only Oyibo men love them, they say. We were drawn together by love at first sight, biko. Stay Juju! Please, darling, cross the Niger River for me. As it turned out, that initial crush was genuine and unadulterated. You said it with pride, too. Displaying it made you proud. Beyond that, we were a unit, and you were even more delighted to inform the citizens of Ondo State. “You voted for one but got two.” What a bold statement to make to your people.
On one point, though, we were at odds. Religion. You were devout and flaunted your religion. Not me. I make no excuses. Imagine how irritated you were. However, by utilizing our communication abilities, we were able to resolve the issue.
You accepted my stance on religion and acknowledged my pragmatic approach. And a tranquil house we created by loving one other through it all, accepting each other’s quirks, and investing in each other’s professional journeys.
“That you were brave and courageous is now a catchphrase that everyone is talking about.”
