Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has described the death of Pastor Patience Eno, the wife of the Akwa-Ibom Governor, as devastating.
Abubakar in a statement by His Media Adviser Paul Ibe in Abuja, described the late Eno, who died in the early hours of Friday (yesterday, September 27), as a remarkable woman who gave her best in the service of humanity and her family.
He sympathised with the family of Gov. Umo Eno, the government and people of Akwa-Ibom over the demise of the First Lady.
Sharing in the grief of the Akwa-Ibom people, Abubakar urged Governor Eno to stand firm in the belief that his beloved wife has only gone to rest in a place of eternal peace.
While praying for the gentle repose of Mrs Eno’s soul, Abubakar said that he stands with the Governor and his people at this difficult time.
