July 10, (THEWILL) – Ondo State first lady, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has suspended activities lined up for her 70th birthday celebration.
Anyanwu-Akeredolu, was planning to stage a talk of town ceremony, to mark her entrance into the septuagenarian club in July.
She took to social media to splash flyers of her birthday programme and some of the activities that would be held to mark it.
Her post was greeted with criticism by Nigerians, who felt she should devote her time and attention on her ailing husband, who had gone on vacation to attend to his health rather than planning a birthday party.
She took to Twitter on Sunday, to announce that the party has been suspended because of circumstances beyond her control.
“Hello family and friends. This is to inform you that all activities lined up to mark my 70th birthday are hereby suspended till further notice due to unforeseen circumstances beyond my control. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this development.
“Nevertheless, be assured that I will be celebrated in style upon my return. Thank you for your understanding. I remain Arabinrin a.k.a Ada Owere I.”
In another Twitter post accompanied by a picture of her birthday flyer, she said that as long as there is life, ‘Owambe’ (party) can come at any time.
