Betty Akeredolu, widow of the late Rotimi Akeredolu, former governor of Ondo, has been criticised for comparing the US presidential election to Nigeria’s 2023 general election.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Betty juxtaposed the period it
took to count and announce winners in both polls.
She has also been berated for calling Nigeria a zoo while
responding to critics of her posts on the elections.
“When dishonesty is prioritised, simple things become
difficult,” she said of Nigeria’s election.
“2023 Nigerian Presidential Election: Total Votes Cast: 25
million, Counting Duration: 5 days. 2024 U.S Presidential Election: Total Votes
Cast: 155 million. Counting Duration: Approx. 10 hours.”
In another post, she said, “I made an honest but harmless observation
on Nigerian and US presidential elections. Twitter is now on fire. Truth hurts
and hurts with tribal colouration”.
“If the 2023 election presidential benefitted you as an
individual or group, was that the best Nigeria could offer? Alas, they turned
it into a tribal war of words. Nigeria is irredeemable! So sad,” she added.
“Very bitter indeed! Who will rescue Nigeria? What a zoo
country!”
One Adegoke Adebisi said counting of votes continues in the
US despite the announcement of Donald Trump as president-elect.
“This is not factual. The election was determined in 10
hours but counting continued till Friday, but results were posted live,”
Adebisi said in response to Betty’s post.
“Grandma doesn’t even know what electoral college is, she
thinks they count each ballot in the US election to declare Trump. You don’t
even have the moral justification to criticise a system ur husband benefited
from,” another post reads.

This IPOB vibe from a former first Lady of a SW state is disgraceful. This is unfair to the memory of your late husband.

A former First Lady of a state saying this. 😂

I bet it wasn’t a zoo when she was enjoying the privileges of her former position.
This is shameful, you gleefully held on to the mantle of the First Lady in a State within the country you call zoo, it's a shame on you and for spitting on the corpse of your husband, pity your children's future.

I just came around your post and you said nothing wrong, just stating the obvious and I’m shocked by the comprehension of the tweet.

Don’t let this get to you.
She became a Lawyer in a country she referred to as a Zoo, was a first lady for seven years, and contested for the senate in Owerri. Young men, be well-guided in the process of selecting a future partner and to understand what this woman stands for, read her tribute to Aketi.

It wasn’t a zoo when you were actively First Lady? It wasn’t a zoo when you contested severally to represent your people? It is simple, you are just pained to no longer have access to the perks of power. Such a shame.

Infact! Aketi left at the best time to save yoruba land May his soul rest in peace. It's becoming more glaring day and night that the loss of your grip over Ondo pained you more than the demise of Aketi. It truncated your plans to grab the state for your Zionist region
