Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has named his daughter, Helen Eno-Obareki, as the Acting First Lady of the state.
This appointment follows the recent demise of his wife, Pastor Patience Eno.
The decision was made public during a condolence visit by Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, in Uyo.
As First Lady, Helen Eno-Obareki continues the legacy and initiatives started by her late mother, particularly the Golden Initiative For All.
 Governor Eno expressed confidence in Helen’s ability to carry forward the projects and values her mother embodied.
He addressed rumors about the possibility of remarrying, humorously dismissing such claims, stating that he has no intention of paying another bride price.Â
The move to appoint his daughter reflects the governor’s commitment to sustaining the legacy of his late wife, both in public service and within the family.
