Ondo State Ex-First Lady, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has made a pronouncement about her late husband, Ex-Governor Rotimi Akeredolu who wrestled with cancer, the widow reveals reliance on spiritual interventions as the real reason for her husband’s death.

This was made available in an exclusive interview with Star News publisher, Olumide Akinrinlola, on Thursday, Betty cited that if late Aketi had made medical treatment topmost over spiritual practices, she trust his life could have been enlongated.

“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 said.

Betty, a breast cancer survivor, highlighted how her prowess of cancer biology and early detection led her to create the Breast Cancer Association of Nigeria in 1997.

She buttressed that cancer should be seen as a medical issue, not a spiritual attack.

“You cannot pray away breast cancer or any cancer at all,” she opined.

She described Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s administration in Ondo State as “rudderless” and made concerns about cogent appointment.

While she refused to speak on governance specifics, she highlighted the reappointment of an Ex-Finance commissioner who had been expelled for financial misconduct under late Aketi’s administration.

“You can connect the dots as to why Lucky brought her back,” she stated.

When questioned about the Federal Government leadership of President Bola Tinubu, she stated, “Only those benefiting would say that. You don’t need a soothsayer to tell you that all is not well in the country.”

Late Akeredolu’s widow emphasized on her senatorial bid, stating that she remain steadfast in pursuing her political goals.

She beckoned on Nigerians to utilize medical care rather than relying on faith healers.

“A pastor is not a doctor; he understands nothing about cancer. He can only pray, and prayers don’t cure cancer. Consult a doctor—not just any doctor, but a doctor who specializes in cancer cases,” she cautioned.
