The remains of the late First Lady of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Patience Umo Eno has been buried amid tears.

Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno while speaking at a service of songs held in honour of his wife, appreciated the outpouring of kindness from all quarters during the funeral which held at his country home in Ikot Ekpene Udo, Nsit Ubium Local Government Area.

Governor Umo Eno, who also conveyed his gratitude to President Bola Tinubu, vowed never to address his late wife Patience Eno in the past tense.

He said, “You were my anchor, the one who could tell me what was right and what was wrong. With your death part of me is gone, but I will cherish the memories we shared forever.”

“Today, as we bid you farewell, the whole world is here celebrating your memories and as I look at our children and grandchildren, I take consolation in the fact that the journey that began 40 years ago in church has been a journey of growth and immeasurable blessings and we will be fine.
