Dr. Betty Anyanwu-Akerdeolu, a former Ondo State First Lady, has revealed how the spirit of her late husband, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, former Governor of Ondo state is inspiring her about her ambition.
Betty, an aspirant, for Imo East Senatorial District (Owerri Zone) on the ticket of Labour Party (LP) has picked her nomination and expression of interest forms for the election.
The former Ondo first lady wrote on her Facebook post on Sunday, “If you recall, I promised to carry my friends, supporters, and political associates along every step of the way on this journey to the Red Chambers — the Senate, come 2027.
“Today, aboard an Air Peace flight from Owerri to Abuja to submit my Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms, something profound happened.
“Right there in the clouds, somewhere between earth and earth’s endless horizon, thoughts of Aketi came flooding over me like the tide of the ocean.
“Suddenly, I was overwhelmed with emotions. At that moment, I knew he was with me.
“I could feel his presence so strongly — urging me on, cheering me forward, saying in that familiar voice, “Maddy, keep going, Darlin’. The journey continues.”
“For a moment, tears welled up in my eyes. Not tears of sorrow alone, but tears born of love, memory, strength, and purpose.
“Aketi may no longer be physically here, but his courage, conviction, and spirit continue to inspire me every single day.
And so, with determination in my heart and the support of the people, I press on.
The journey continues.”
