Betty, wife of the late Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has described her late husband’s niece, Funke Akeredolu Aruna, as shameless for supporting the sitting governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, ahead of the November governorship polls in the state.
Betty reacted to the development via her Instagram account on Monday morning.
The governor, who was formerly Akeredolu’s deputy, was sworn in on 27th December following the death of his former boss.

Prior to the governor’s death, internal dispute had strained his relationship with Aiyedatiwa, touching on claimed treachery by the then-deputy governor, resulting in the disbandment of his staff.
The State Assembly, through the backings of the late governor, attempted to impeach Aiyedatiwa, but his sack was averted by the intervention of President Bola Tinubu.
In her Instagram post alongside the picture of her husband’s niece wearing a cap with an inscription “I am lucky”, Betty said, “Behold the face of Aketi’s niece, Funke Akeredolu Aruna, the former deputy chief protocol to Aketi, shamelessly parades as ‘I am lucky’ Bloody serpent! Time will tell if she is truly lucky!”
The outburst sparked fury on social media, with many criticising the late governor’s wife, claiming she should be mourning her late husband.
