Betty Akeredolu, wife of the late former Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, has criticised Senate President Godswill Akpabio for involving his wife in his ongoing dispute with Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan saying it is ‘highly disingenuous’.

In a statement shared on her official X handle on Sunday, Akeredolu condemned Akpabio’s approach, stating that in more developed societies, he would have stepped down to clear his name rather than deflecting responsibility.

Addressing the controversy surrounding the reassignment of Senator Natasha’s seat without her knowledge, Akeredolu argued that the practice was wrong, disrespectful, and a violation of her rights.

She commended Natasha for standing up against it despite past instances where male senators had chosen to remain silent.

She wrote, “I[b]n more civilised climes, Akpabio would have, by now, stepped down from office to clear his name and fight his battle. Drafting his wife to fight Senator Natasha is highly disingenuous and an attempt to dodge the bullets thereby throwing his wife under the bus. Dem miss road be dat[/b]!

“Back to the crux of the matter.

“In the first instance, reasg seats without one’s knowledge is wrong! It’s disrespectful and infringes on one’s right.

“Even if it had been done in the past and men for what ever reason, cowardly, decided to keep mute, but a bold Natasha, belled the cat by saying in an unequivocal , that it was wrong and we took notice. A wrong approach can be corrected no matter how long it had been applied. That’s the argument.

“Some unserious women are talking “cho cho cho” blaming Natasha for being sentimental, and that has been Natasha’s way. What a pointless argument!. Natasha voiced her frustration, “having endured a lot”, according to her. That’s courage! That’s the kind of women we should to represent us at the national assembly.


“Nigerian women have been so mistreated and overpowered in all spheres of life and consequently, cowed into silence. Is it not a BIG SHAME that Nigeria has only 4 female senators out of 107?

Always stronger than ajai crowther

The silence of the virtuous is the loudest endorsement of wickedness.

Thank you Betty Akeredolu, you're a woman of virtue, unlike some.

A senate president filled with scandals.

It's only natural for a woman to her husband especially when the person fighting her husband is a woman too. Nothing like drafting in this case.

Natasha's husband has also made comments on these issues. Was he drafted by Natasha?

Women ing women.


If she was the one in that shoes it wouldn't be any different.

Nonsensical and ingredients

Virtues woman like Betty Aketi



One of the finest IGBO's export to SW

I am not sure what Mrs Akpabio was thinking with that action. It's just unreasonable.

Wife drafting husband too nkor...

Wetin concern her.

That woman used to be active on social media before she became a governor's wife. People who are active on social media jump on everything to remain relevant. The moment she became a governor's wife, I don't know what happened to her Facebook where I used to be her friend

PulaPower:
Ganu si..

Wetin concern her.

Just like nothing concerns you in commenting.
😁😁😁😁😁

...we know that's how socialites 4k dem selves.. coming out to claim saint is very childish by Natasha....

Oloriburuku Oloshi woman, who asked for your Papa’s opinion?

Betty is Igbo. I hope you know that.

No wonder Desmond Elliot called una children..... Especially those commenting on Nairaland......always attaching tribal bull craps to everything

Betty spoke sense here.Even if a wrong practice has been done repeatedly in d past doesn't make it right.Those female senators in d senate are very jealous of natasha becos of her former closeness to akpabio n perceived special treatment.

Na wa o

Does this Betty woman have any self-respect?

This Natasha of a woman too get her own for bodi!

Reno Omokri made a strong allegation against her about a certain time she falsely accused him of sexually harassing her, he attacked her with facts and she deleted the false allegations. What an act!

Also, if you listened to her whenever she speaks, you will notice the presence of more than three men in a single woman!

She sounds too knowing and always wanting to prove a point even when there is no sane reason to do that.

The issue of seat. Reports confirm that she is not the only senator whose seat will be changed without notice. She is only unnecessarily sensationalizing the matter taking advantage of Akpabio's unpopular stance in the court of public opinion.

Abegiii, make she shift jare.
