The immediate past First Lady of Ondo State, Nigeria, Mrs. Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has described Nigeria as a zoo country.
Betty, said this via her social media account on Wednesday, while drawing parallels between the country’s presidential election and that of the United States.
Betty wrote: “Just thinking. 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
“Moral: When dishonesty is prioritized, simple things become difficult.”
One of her followers, Paulexy, @paul_ozah commented on the post saying, “Truth is indeed bitter. I can understand the attacks on her. We are doomed in this country Nigeria.”
Replying to Paulexy’s comment, Mrs Akeredou said, “Very bitter indeed! Who will rescue Nigeria? What a zoo country!”
Betty’s husband, Rotimi Akeredolu, who was a two-term Ondo State governor, died on December 27, 2023, before completing his second term.
