He acknowledged the profound loss felt by the state, referring to the late First Lady as Eka Iberedem Akwa Ibom, a mother and pillar of support who stood by the Governor through thick and thin.
The State NNPP Chairman highlighted Pastor Patience Eno’s unwavering support for the Governor and her notable leadership among the women of Akwa Ibom, especially in guiding them closer to God. He eulogized the departed first lady for her compassion and commitment to the welfare of others, which was evident through her pet project, the Golden Initiative For All (GIFA).
