Gov Eno Appoints His Daughter As New Akwa Ibom First Lady

In a strange political move, the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno has appointed his Daughter, Helen Eno-Obareki, as the Acting First Lady of the state.
This follows the recent death of his wife, Pastor Patience Eno.
Gov Eno revealed this when Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, paid him a condolence visit in Uyo.
The governor stated that his daughter would work closely with the state’s deputy governor to ensure the Office of the First Lady continues its duties.

He further expressed his confidence in his daughter’s ability to deliver in the new assignment and sustain her mother’s legacies.
He said, “To maintain the Office of the First Lady and carry forward my late wife’s work, I present our daughter, Helen, to continue the duties of the office.
“She will work closely with the Deputy Governor and the Commissioner for Women’s Affairs and Social Welfare”.
