Former Ondo First Lady Marks 27-Years As Cancer Survivor

A former First Lady of Ondo state, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has celebrated her 27th year of surviving breast cancer.

Mrs. Akeredolu who turned 71 on Sunday, July 21, also celebrated the 68th posthumous birthday of her late husband and former Ondo Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.

In a post on her official X handle, the former Ondo First Lady wrote, “Posthumous Celebration of Aketi, the LOVE of my LIFE @ 68.

Aketi is no longer here with me physically but he lives in my heart eternally.”

She also shared a post of her 71st birthday and her 27th year of surviving breast cancer.

To help raise awareness on breast cancer, she founded the Breast Cancer Association of Nigeria (BRECAN).

Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress in Ondo state celebrated the former governor’s 68th birthday by recalling many of the landmark achievements recorded in the state.

It said the achievements included the creation of a security network codename Amotekun to protect residents of the state from invaders, an aggressive drive for industrialisation of the state, the first dualised road in Akoko land, besides bringing down Oke Alabojuto that had caused so very costly accidents in the past years amongst many others.

Late Akeredolu died on December 27th December, 2023 after months of fierce battle with prostate cancer.
