Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has advised that the death of his wife, Patience Eno, should serve as a lesson to all that neither wealth nor social standing can guarantee life.
The governor said this at a church service marking the commencement of the home-going ceremonies held at his country home, Ikot Ekpene Udo, Nsit Ubium Local Government Area.
Recall that the First Lady passed away in September.
Eno, who is a pastor, urged everyone to imbibe Christian values and always forgive one another.
“We live a borrowed life, and the owner can call for it at any time. Let us always focus our hearts on God, forgive one another, learn the lessons, and move on. Let this ceremony remind us that unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain,” the governor said.
He expressed gratitude to everyone who attended the event and identified with the family, thanking them for their distinctive love and support.
Eno prayed for God’s blessings upon all present.
