Chairman of the Northern States Governors' Forum and Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has conveyed heartfelt condolences to Akwa Ibom Governor Pastor Umo Eno following the death of his wife, Mrs. Patience Umo Eno. 

The Akwa Ibom first lady passed away on September 26, 2024, after an illness, as confirmed by the state’s Commissioner for Information, Ini Ememobong. 

Yahaya extended sympathies on behalf of the 19 Northern governors, recognizing her contributions to the state and the impact of her initiatives on women and vulnerable groups.

In a statement through the governor's media aid, Ismaila Uba Misilli, while commiserating with the government and people of Akwa Ibom State, Governor Inuwa, on behalf of the 19 Northern governors, conveyed their heartfelt condolences during this period of immense grief.

He described the Akwa Ibom First Lady as a woman of great virtue, a loving mother, and a pillar of strength to her family and the state. 

He noted that her loss has created a huge vacuum that will be difficult to fill, not only within her immediate family but across the State where her influence was deeply felt.

The NSGF chairman consoled Governor Umo Eno to take solace in the divine will of God and the cherished memories of his late wife. 

He then prayed God Almighty to grant the bereaved family and the entire Akwa Ibom people the fortitude to bear the great loss, and for the peaceful repose of the soul of the deceased.
