Governor Umo Eno on Sunday clarified his decision to present his first daughter as the Coordinator of the office of the wife of the Governor after the sudden demise of his wife, Pastor Patience Umo Eno on Thursday, September 26, 2024.
He spoke while addressing a congregation of the All Nations Christian Ministry International during their National combined worship service.
In his words: “Our daughter, Mrs Helen Obareki, will Coordinate the office of the First Lady. First Ladies are not appointed. They come with the Governor and she had been with the mother from the beginning.
The First Lady has gone but the work of the First Lady must continue, so I choose our First daughter…
“I do it fully conscious of the fact that the office of the First Lady has responsibilities to the women of this state. My wife had programmes she was running – the Golden Initiative for All, GIFA, the ARISE Initiative for the Elderly and others. As long as I remain Governor, those programmes will not die.
By appointment, she’s the Senior Special Assistant, SSA to the Governor and the Coordinator, office of the First Lady.
Let the office keep running. I’ll be comforted…”
