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.
The Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has spoken on Nigeria’s economy, stating that the country lacks a good maintenance culture.
She said “The fact is that endowments alone do not add value. Budgetary allocations alone do not lead to new roads or good maintenance.”
“We lack a maintenance culture in the country. I have to say that. I’m Nigerian, but we need that. We need better ports and digital infrastructure, and lower trade costs. Execution is what matters, and successful execution requires focus. It requires prioritisation.”
Politician and former presidential candidate Peter Obi speaks on President Bola Tinubu’s comments regarding the rising hunger and worsening economic situation in Nigeria.
It can be noted that the President recently stated that hunger has always existed in Nigeria.
Peter Obi responded “I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.”
“While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today.”
Reports have been shared stating that the Nigerian Army has launched a new programme designed to train and improve the skills of engineers in tackling threats posed by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
The seminar is being organised by the 41 Engineer Brigade of the 1 Division Nigerian Army.
It was stated “Improvised Explosive Devices have become one of the greatest security threats confronting the Nigerian Army in ongoing counter-insurgency operations. Their widespread use has complicated military operations and humanitarian activities in conflict-affected areas.”
