Betty attacks Akeredolu’s niece, Funke in new WhatsApp chat
The conflict between the former First Lady of Ondo State, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu and the niece of late governor Olurotimi Akeredolu, Funke Aruna, has taken a new twist as the former first lady took the fight to the private WhatsApp of Funke.
In a leaked WhatsApp conversation, the duo engaged in hot argument and exchange of unprinted words. In the messages, Betty accused Funke of warming the bed of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Betty further described Funke as ‘Leper’, saying that she was a ‘power interloper’ and ‘treacherous monster’.
In response, Funke mocked Betty for not succeeding in becoming Imo Senator, advising her to concentrate on fish farming rather than venturing into partisan politics.
WesternPost had reported earlier that Betty berated Funke for backing the governorship ambition of Aiyedatiwa.
In the Instagram post, Betty blasted Akeredolu’s niece for supporting Aiyedatiwa in his quest to pick the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for the governorship election in the state.
“Behold the face of Aketi’s niece, Funke Akeredolu Aruna, the former deputy chief protocol to Aketi, shamelessly parades as “I’M LUCKY,” she wrote.
“Time will tell if she is truly lucky!” Betty added.
Funke was a former deputy chief of protocol in the state. Betty’s outrage came after her late husband’s niece shared a photo of herself on social media wearing an outfit to support Aiyedatiwa.
While many have faulted her comments, the development is seen as the continuation of the faceoff between Akeredolu’s wife and Aiyedatiwa.
Before Akeredolu’s demise in December, the duo had been in animosity owing to claims of disloyalty against Aiyedatiwa who was the then Ondo State deputy governor.
