The statement, signed by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, highlighted the profound impact Pastor Patience had on those around her.

He praised her for her selfless dedication to service and her commitment to supporting her husband’s vision for the state.
“On behalf of the Federal Government, I extend my deepest condolences to Governor Umo Eno, his family, and the people of Akwa Ibom State as they navigate this difficult time,” the President stated.
He emphasized the irreplaceable role Pastor Patience played, not only as the First Lady of the state but also as a devoted wife and an ordained gospel minister who embodied humility, resilience, and loyalty.
President Tinubu expressed his belief that her legacy of service will continue to inspire future generations and remain a cherished part of Akwa Ibom’s history.
He urged the grieving family, friends, and relatives to find solace in the comfort of the eternal God, the source of life and strength.
“As we mourn this profound loss, we are reminded of the fleeting nature of life and the importance of compassion and support,” the President noted.
He expressed confidence in the resilience of the Eno family and the people of Akwa Ibom, offering them reassurance and support during this challenging time.
The passing of Pastor Patience Umo Eno has left a significant void in the hearts of those who knew her.
Her dedication to improving the lives of the less privileged and her unwavering support for her husband’s administration have left an indelible mark on the state.

An update has been shared on the burnt building at Balogun Market on Lagos Island, as it was revealed that a man was rescued 11 days after the building caught fire.
According to reports, the man was found alive on January 6, 2026, after being discovered under the rubble of the collapsed structure.
The survivor has since been taken for proper medical care, while further details are yet to be released.
Meanwhile, passersby and market traders have expressed concern, fearing that more people may still be trapped alive inside the building.
It has been reported that Anthony Joshua has officially been discharged from the hospital following the terrible car crash that claimed the lives of his two closest friends and supporters.
The boxing star was deemed stable enough to go home after the accident. After his discharge, he visited the funeral to pay his respects and see the bodies of his two friends.
Many have expressed grief and offered their support to the boxing star, praying that he will be able to find peace, as grief will undoubtedly be one of the most painful challenges he will face in life.
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
