I Wouldn’t Have Been A Widow If My Husband Had Listened To Me – Betty Akeredolu

Betty Akeredolu, the wife of the late ex-governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, has disclosed shocking details about her husband’s death.

In an interview with Olumide Akinrinlola, Publisher of Star News, Akeredolu’s wife said if her late husband had chosen medical treatment over spiritual practices, he would have still been alive.

Mr. Akeredolu died of prostate cancer complications on December 27, 2023 at a German hospital where he was receiving treatment.

Betty, a breast cancer survivor, said she has an understanding of biology and behaviour of the disease because of her academic background.

According to her “When it comes to religion, I tell people to keep to their lanes while I keep mine. Aketi understood me, and we managed our differences, yet we had a happy marriage. He was religious, while I wasn’t. I was wired differently, and I make no apologies for that,” she 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.”

She added that it was impossible to believe that cancer could be caused by spiritual attacks.
