Governor Umo Eno has appointed his daughter, Mrs. Helen Eno Obareki, as the acting First Lady of Akwa Ibom State.
This follows the death of his late wife, Pastor Patience Umo Eno.
On Friday Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Nigeria’s First Lady, led a delegation of dignitaries, including Hajia Nana Shettima, wife of the Vice President, and wives of state governors and presiding officers of the National Assembly, to condole with Governor Eno.
Senator Tinubu praised Governor Eno’s decision, noting that it reflects practices seen in the United States and is a thoughtful way to sustain the late Patience Eno’s legacy. “I want to thank God for Patience’s life, though short, she completed her race. May God comfort you, your family, and your children.”
Meanwhile, Governor Eno reflected on his deep bond with his late wife, describing her as his “greatest supporter and toughest critic.” He introduced his daughter as the new acting First Lady.
He said, “It is not an easy task ahead. But to maintain the Office of the First Lady and carry forward my late wife’s work, I present our daughter, Helen, to continue the duties of the office.”
I know of no one better than Jesus Christ as ruler. He will make a very good ruler as he has shown when he was on Earth. He cured the sick, raised the Dead, stopped storm, fed thousands on few items, walked on water and cursed a tree. His speeches were mild, teaches well, advised well, commends and most of all he respects the Creator and gives him the highest honor. He fears God and doesn’t take glory for himself but directs all glory to his Father. We need a ruler like Jesus who loves people and even died for the people.
