The Akwa Ibom Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has called for stronger unity and support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senate President Godswill Akpabio, assuring that Nigeria is on a sure path of recovery and renewal under their leadership.
The Governor made the call during a reception held at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, Ikot Ekpene, after the funeral of the late Deaconess Eno Nnana Usoro, mother of the Deputy Governor (Operations) of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Ms. Emem Usoro.
Governor Eno, who expressed deep appreciation to the President and Vice President for honouring the state with their presence at the solemn event, described the occasion as “a reaffirmation that Nigeria’s leadership is united in purpose and humanity.”
“Our nation is in safe hands under President Tinubu,” Governor Eno declared. “We in Akwa Ibom will continue to support his administration and work closely with the National Assembly led by our own Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, to advance the Renewed Hope agenda and the ARISE vision of inclusive growth.”
He urged citizens to shun divisive politics and align with the collective national direction, stressing that development thrives only in an atmosphere of cooperation and shared commitment.
In a message delivered by Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima, President Tinubu commended Governor Eno for what he described as “visionary and impactful leadership that has placed Akwa Ibom on a steady path of progress.”
The President also paid glowing tribute to the late Deaconess Usoro, describing her as “a great story of grace, faith and service whose legacy will outlive her.”
Senate President Godswill Akpabio, who also attended the event, reaffirmed his district’s unwavering support for Governor Eno’s leadership and the Tinubu administration, declaring that “Akwa Ibom will remain solidly aligned with the centre.”
The funeral, attended by dignitaries from across Nigeria’s political, financial and business circles, became a moment of unity and reflection—an intersection of faith, service and national solidarity, as leaders across divides gathered to celebrate the life and legacy of a woman whose values of love and integrity continue to inspire many.
