Wife of Ondo State governor, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, speaks with CHIDIEBUBE OKEOMA about her ambition to represent Imo East Constituency in the Senate
But having been married to an Ondo man presupposes that Ondo is now your home. Why not vie to represent Ondo at the Senate instead of Imo State? With my exposure, I know that things can get better. But I looked around and I wasn’t seeing that quality representation. Let me tell you, I had run for office in 2007 under the umbrella of the ANPP . I wanted to go for Senate under the ACN . You know, in those days they were looking for quality representation. I presented myself to go for Senate under the ACN; they did not consider me for ticket, then I jumped over to the ANPP.
My husband being a governor should not affect my aspiration to become a senator. You know that the mistake that people make is that they are saying that after being First Lady, she wants to be senator. Look at our people’s mentality. I am saying that Emeabiam is a forgotten community and somebody is telling me that I am a First Lady. Because I feel that’s not how governance should be. Governance is about people caring for the well-being of people without exception. Roads bring development.
How close are you to the people of your senatorial district in Imo State that you intend to represent in the Senate?
