Your Excellency, my brother, I know the pain that you are going through. We Cross Riverians share deeply in this pain. I believe that the Almighty God will always be with you. On behalf of the government and people of Cross River State, I condole and console you on the loss of your dear wife. It is a great loss not only to Akwa Ibom but to the entire Cross River. We want you to understand that during this moment of grief, we will walk leg to leg with you.

We are here at a very solemn moment. We came to express our deepest condolences to you on the passing of your wife, Her Excellency, Pastor (Mrs) Patience Umo Eno. She was always behind you each time we watched your activities on TV. May God console you and give your deceased wife a place in His bosom

I am here to condole you, and the good people of Akwa Ibom. Everybody knows how painful it is to lose a love one. All I can say is may God Almighty who is pleased to call her home by this time grant her eternal rest and grant you and members of the family and indeed all of us the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.

May God grant you the fortitude to bear this great loss, and may He grant their daughter, Mrs. Helen Obareki, the grace to lead the pet project and other programs of the Office of the First Lady effectively.

I received the sad news with great shock, but I urge the Governor and family to be consoled by her good nature and her legacy which will remain ever green.

My wife, Dr. (Mrs.) Martha Udom Emmanuel and I received the devastating news of the passing of our State's First Lady, H.E. Pastor (Mrs.) Patience Umo Eno and we are saddened and pained by this unfortunate event. I pray for God's strength on the Governor, H.E. Umo Eno, his family and our State in general. May her soul RIP.
