LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT REFUNDS 145 FORMER SUBSCRIBERS OF EGAN HOUSING ESTATE
admin Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has sympathised with his Akwa Ibom State counterpart, Pastor Umo Eno, over the passing of his wife, Pastor (Mrs.) Patience Umo Eno.
Mrs. Eno died on Thursday, September 26, after a brief illness. She was 57.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, described Mrs. Eno’s death as a great loss, a sad episode, and a personal loss to the husband, family and entire Akwa Ibom State.
Sanwo-Olu implored Governor Eno to take his wife’s death in good faith and see it as the will of God. He urged him to have solace in the fact that she lived a fulfilled life, made positive impact, and left a lasting legacy.
He said: “On behalf of my wife, Ibijoke and family, the government and people of Lagos State, it is with a deep sense of sorrow that I commiserate with my brother Governor Umo Eno, on the passing of his beloved wife, Pastor Patience Umo Eno.
“I also express my deepest condolences to the people of Akwa Ibom State and the entire Eno family, as well as wives of all the governors over the demise of the Akwa Ibom First Lady.
“Pastor Patience Umo Eno was not just a wife and mother, but a soul mate and pillar of support to our brother. She supported thousands of people in Akwa Ibom State through the Golden Initiative for All (GIFA), a foundation that focused on providing shelter, food, and education to the poor and vulnerable in Akwa Ibom.
“The First Lady, fondly referred to as Eka Iberedem Akwa Ibom, meaning “Mother and Strong Pillar of Akwa Ibom”, was widely loved for her compassionate leadership and humanitarian work in Akwa Ibom during her lifetime.
“I pray that the Almighty God will grant the deceased eternal rest and Governor Umo Eno, the entire family, and the people of Akwa Ibom the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”
