Ondo State governor’s wife Mrs. Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu has postponed her installation as the Ada Owere till further notice, following insecurity in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
This was contained in a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, Mr. Olatunde Richard.
The statement, which apologised for the inconveniences the postponement might have caused, said the conferment was in recognition of the contributions and giant strides of the governor’s wife in her home town and across the country.
