Governor Eno Reacts To Trending Video Concerning Death Of Wife

Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno has addressed a circulating video, allegedly released by a family member, concerning the death of his wife.

He affirmed that his family remains united despite the allegations.

Speaking to Government House correspondents upon his arrival at Ibom Hotel and Golf Resort, Uyo, for the 60th birthday celebration of former Deputy Governor Obong Nsima Ekere on Saturday, Governor Eno stated that such insinuations and character assassinations from detractors will not distract him from his commitment to implementing the ARISE Agenda and fulfilling his social contract with the people of Akwa Ibom.

He said, “We are in political times, so you can expect more of that. My family is intact, and you can see everyone here with me.

“The event we are talking about happened immediately after my wife passed on, and that was last year. So why is it surfacing and trending now? Why is it on the eve of the second anniversary, when we are celebrating the milestones we have achieved?

“This teaches me that there are detractors around. My family is intact. You can see that Jane herself is here; that’s Helen and her husband. So, we have a good family.

“The pressure on the children when they lose a loved one can be traumatic, and we must recognise that.

“All I can appeal to the public is that it should not bring back sad memories. It is enough that I have lost my wife, and I pray that they allow her peaceful soul to rest in peace.

“I cannot be distracted. I remain focused, and I will continue to serve the people of Akwa Ibom. I do not wish what happened to me on anyone. So, to those spreading these rumours, if that is what they wish for themselves, I wish them luck.”

Governor Eno extended his congratulations to Obong Nsima Ekere on his 60th birthday. He offered prayers for Ekere’s continued strength, a long life, good health, and the wisdom to keep contributing to the development of both Akwa Ibom State and the nation.
