Former First Lady of Ondo State, Dr. Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu said the state government’s planned lecture series in honour of her late husband is “insidious propaganda carried too far”.
Anyanwu-Akeredolu stated this in an X post on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the Ondo State Government under Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa announced plans to hold the First Edition of the Akeredolu Leadership Lecture Series.
The Secretary to the State Government made the announcement.
A pre-event video shared by Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan shows legal luminary, Femi Falana SAN would deliver the lecture at the event scheduled to hold at the International Culture and Events Centre (The Dome), Akure, on Friday, December 27.
“Let’s come together to celebrate the legacies of our former governor,” the state government said.
However, the former Ondo governor’s widow said her family was not carried along by the state government.
Anyanwu-Akeredolu said, “Lucky can’t be serious! Which legacy? Mtcheew. Lecture, my foot!
“This is not for Aketi because I and my family are not aware. Damn it!
“As the saying goes: You and your co-travellers cannot shave Aketi’s head in his absence. You cannot weep more than the bereaved.
“This is an insidious propaganda carried too far! Lucky, you are preoccupied with rubbishing Aketi’s legacy; you can’t succeed, anyway.
“Anybody close to Aketi and Arabinrin becomes your enemy. Your minions are scared to get close otherwise they lose their appointments.
“Now you want to pretend by organising one yeye lecture for Aketi’s memorial as an entry point to chop money on Aketi’s head. You are on your own o!”
