The former First Lady of Ondo State, Betty Akeredolu, has insisted that she has no regrets about her inter-tribal marriage to the late former Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu.
Naija News reports that Betty made the statement in a post on her Instagram page, stating that Imo State in the Southeast is her home and that it is not up for debate.
Betty, who is seeking to contest a Senatorial seat in the forthcoming election, stated that her marriage across the Niger gave her broader experience, but it has not erased her roots.
The wife of the late Akeredolu maintained that she is prepared for the position, stressing that her selfless service as the First Lady of Ondo State has further deepened her understanding of grassroots politics and enriched her approach to engaging people across all social strata.
She wrote, “Imo Is Home”
“My roots are not up for debate.”
“I am proudly from Imo State, Owerri zone, Owerri West local government and Emeabiam – my small London. My marriage across the Niger, I do not regret. It has given me broader experience but it has not erased my roots.
“My selfless service as First Lady of Ondo State has further enlarged my understanding of grassroots politics and enriched my approach to engaging people across all social strata.
“If anything, these experiences have prepared me better to serve. My quest for Imo East Senatorial seat is a BIG DEAL. Remember I am ADA OWERE I. So I am going back home, not just to belong, but to join hands to rebuild Imo State.
“Home is where you are valued and I believe where you can serve best.”
