Akwa Ibom First Lady, Pastor Patience Umo Eno on Christmas Day followed the age-long tradition of her office by making an early morning visit to General Hospital, Ikot Ekpene, to welcome the State’s Christmas baby with love and gift items.
The bundle of joy, male, born to the family of Mr Isaac Okon from Ikot Otu, Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area was delivered at exactly 00:03 am, weighing 3.8kg.
Patience Eno while making the presentation, expressed joy and happiness at the safe arrival of the baby and prayed that he would herald God’s blessings on the family and the state at large.
“I thank God for the mother of the star baby, for giving birth to a son on a Christmas day which is very significant. I pray that just like God nurtured Jesus Christ His son, and made him who He is to the world today, that boy shall also live to fulfil purpose and destiny. He will be a great man like Jesus, God will spare his life, and make him a blessing to his family.
“Every other child given birth to today is special, God will make them so, their parents will ever celebrate giving birth to them on a day like this, that is my prayer and more for them in Jesus’ name, Amen,” she said.
She offered her congratulations to the parents of the baby and charged them to bring him up in the way of the Lord and to the benefit of mankind, applauding the Management of the General Hospital for keeping the environment hospitable and clean.
“I want to commend the Management and staff of this hospital, I always like it when I get to the hospital and the hospital smell does not greet me first. It was a long walk but I did not perceive any unpleasant smell, it shows that everyone is working collectively to ensure the environment is conducive.”
