Tinubu Mourns Pastor Patience Umo Eno’s Passing and Honors Her Legacy
President Bola Tinubu has expressed his condolences to Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno over the passing of his wife, Pastor Patience Umo Eno.
The First Lady passed away on Thursday at an undisclosed hospital after a brief illness.
In a statement released on Friday, President Tinubu described her death as a shocking loss, offering his sincere sympathies to the Governor, the Eno family, and the entire Akwa Ibom community during this difficult period.
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.
President Tinubu acknowledged her remarkable contributions to the state, particularly through her ‘Golden Initiative for All’ program, which focused on uplifting the lives of women, children, and the vulnerable in society.
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.
The people of Akwa Ibom and beyond will remember her as a beacon of hope and kindness, whose legacy will continue to inspire for years to come.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
