*Comforts Governor Eno over Akwa Ibom First Lady’s death
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is heart-broken and devastated by the news of the death of Pastor Mrs. Patience Umo Eno, the beloved and treasured wife of the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Umo Eno.
Our hearts bleed. Words are not enough to convey the anguish, sorrow and pain we bear at this moment as a Party and a family.
Pastor Mrs. Umo Eno was an angelic personality; a graceful and compassionate soul; God’s own faithful and trusted servant, who loved the Lord and devoted her life for the good and welfare of others with grace, humility and love.
Indeed, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria and humanity have lost one of our best and brightest. Pastor Mrs. Umo Eno was a dazzling star taken from earth to brighten the heavenly realm. She was an epitome of peace, very caring mother and dutiful wife; an enduring lesson in humility, love and selflessness who lived as a pillar of support, dependable friend, companion and confidant to her husband Governor Umo Eno in his service to God, Akwa Ibom State and our dear fatherland.
We commiserate with Pastor Umo Eno; our thoughts and prayers are with him at this time of profound grief recognizing the pain and emptiness this loss means to him.
As we grieve, we submit to the Will of the Almighty God in consolation that our First Lady fought the good fight, kept the faith and have received the Crown of Righteousness which the Lord Jesus Christ set aside for His Saints. “For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to Whom be glory forever”, Amen!
Our Party prays to God to comfort Pastor Umo Eno, the children, family, government and people of Akwa Ibom State with His Abiding Grace and grant us all the fortitude the bear this irreparable loss.
In honour of the departed First Lady, the PDP directs that all Party flags at the Party’s National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Abuja be flown at half mast for a period of seven days.
