Akwa Ibom state has been thrown into mourning following the death of the state’s first lady, Mrs Patience Umo Eno, who transited to the great beyond yesterday, Thursday, 26th of September 2024.
According to the commissioner of information, the First Lady died at a hospital on September 26, 2024, surrounded by family members.
The statement titled “Unexpected Sunset” read, “It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of the Wife of the Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Her Excellency, Pastor Mrs. Patience Umo Eno, following an illness.
“She passed away peacefully at the hospital on 26th September 2024, in the presence of her family.
“The family submits to the will of the Almighty and asks for the prayers and support of kind-hearted individuals during this difficult time.
“Further details will be provided by the family as necessary. In the meantime, the family kindly requests privacy as they mourn their beloved wife, mother, and grandmother.
This unfortunate happening is a direct representation of Primate Ayodele’s warnings to Nigerian governors and their spouses in July 2024. Primate Ayodele had in his annual prophecy book titled Warnings To The Nations which was released in July revealed that Nigeria would lose a deputy governor, a former deputy governor and the wife of a sitting governor.
These were his words:
‘’NIGERIA : Some states will be clamouring for dry ports. Some of our ports will not be very active. There will be a lot of complaints about the ports. Because the ports will not get the exact answer. Exact resources. The exact outcome that is expected. Nigerian ports will not be very productive. Some of the activities in the ports will be questioned. We are going to record the death of a deputy governor, deputy governor’s wife in Nigeria, and governor’s wife in Nigeria.’’
Primate Ayodele was very definite with this prophetic and ordinarily, every necessary thing should have been done to avert such unfortunate incidents in any state in Nigeria but as usual, the warning was ignored and this ultimately led to the untimely death of Akwa Ibom’s first lady.
