Despite his wife’s passing, Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom assures that things will still run smoothly.
Eno, who said this on a state broadcast last Friday in Uyo, is determined to keep up what she started.
You might remember that Mrs. Patience Eno passed away on Sept. 26.
“Let me assure Akwa Ibom people that I shall pursue everything she held dear while she was with us.
“The Golden Initiative for All, and other initiatives she had started, will be sustained and expanded on.
“The machinery of state will continue to function seamlessly, government will continue to be alive to her responsibilities.
“Our focus will not be shifted from rendering services to our people, we shall serve with renewed strength, this is what my wife has always prayed for,” he said.
The governor also took the chance to thank President Bola Tinubu for supporting him and the family during that tough time.
“Finally, I must confess that your words of encouragement have helped hugely to comfort us at this moment of loss, grief and bereavement.
“I trust that you will continue to respect our privacy as we journey through this grief,” he said.
