Governor Eno reiterates commitment to seamless functioning of state machinery despite wife’s death
Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom says the machinery of the state will continue to function seamlessly despite his wife’s demise.
Mr Eno stated this in a state broadcast on Friday in Uyo and expressed his resolve to sustain the legacies she left behind.
The late Patience Eno died on September 26 in the presence of her family members.
“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 the state will continue to function seamlessly, and the 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 used the opportunity to thank President Bola Tinubu for standing by him and the family during the trial moment.
“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.
