Family Cautions Akeredolu’s Wife Over Threat To Special Adviser

The Elemo Adedipe dynasty has warned Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, wife of Rotimi Akeredolu, the Ondo State Governor, over the threat to their daughter and Special Adviser to the Governor, Olubunmi Ademosu.

Mrs. Akeredolu had in an audio tape warned the Special Adviser on Public and Inter-Governmental Relations that she would be held responsible if anything happens to her husband.

Less than 24 hours later, it emerged that Governor Akeredolu had been ill, but was getting better.

Reacting to the development, the Chairman, Elemo Adedipe Dynasty of Akure, Home and Diaspora, Elder Adedipe A. Olajide, said in a statement on Friday: “The Elemo Adedipe Dynasty of Akure is in possession of the audio tape issued by Mrs Betty Anyanwu Akeredolu (aka Arabirin) on Monday 16th January 2023. We understand that audio tape that depicts an emotional outburst has now become viral.

“We note with a sense of responsibility the outright threat to the life of our daughter – Mrs Olubunmi Ademosu (Special Adviser on Public and Inter-Governmental Relations to Ondo State Executive Governor) in the audio tape which Mrs Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu has not denied up till now.

“We, therefore, call the attention of the Inspector General of Police and the Director of the Department of State Services and every lover of peace in this country to call Mrs. Betty Anyanwu Akeredolu to order over her threat to the life of our daughter – Mrs Olubunmi Ademosu

“The Elemo Adedipe Dynasty of Akure will hold Mrs Betty Anyanwu Akeredolu responsible and accountable should anything ontoward happen to our daughter and/or her assets (human and material).

“We empathize with Arakunrin Akeredolu as he faces this unusual emotional stress from within his household at a time he has health challenges and requires sucour from every well meaning individual. ‘It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. It is better to dwell in the wilderness than with a contentious and angry woman. Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness (Proverbs 21:9,19 and 25:5, 24).’

“We join the good people of Ondo State to pray for the speedy recovery of Arakunrin’s health so he can finish his term as Executive Governor with laudable legacies for posterity in Ondo State.

“May the Lord God give us peace in this state during this election year and beyond.”
