Widow of late governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, Betty, has disclosed that cancer made her stop eating pounded yam, eba, Amala and Akpu.
Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu said eliminating starchy foods from her diet helped her survive Bosom cancer after she was diagnosed 27 years ago.
She disclosed this in a social media post to mark this year’s World Cancer Day.
She posted: “If stopping Coke and other soft drinks, as well as swallowing eba, pounded yam, amala, and akpu, would prolong my life-knowing that starchy foods and sugar fuel the growth of cancer-so be it. That was exactly what I did.”
The former Ondo First Lady’s husband passed away from prostate cancer on December 23, 2023,
Mrs Akeredolu disclosed that her positive mindset played a major role in her surviving cancer.
She said her decision to seek medical care at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, instead of relying on spiritual healers, was crucial.
