Governor Umo Eno’s comments highlight the significant influence his late wife, Mrs. Patience Eno, had on shaping his approach to women’s inclusion in governance. His commitment to appointing women into public offices and implementing pro-women policies reflects her advocacy for greater representation, especially with her call for 40 percent women inclusion in government.
At the first anniversary of the Golden Initiative For All (GIFA), which was her pet project, the governor praised his daughter, Lady Helen Eno Obareki, for continuing his late wife’s vision. Under Lady Helen’s leadership, GIFA has made notable strides in enhancing family life and supporting the less privileged, furthering the late first lady’s legacy.
The governor’s tribute also serves as a reminder of the lasting impact his late wife had on both his personal and political life, with her persistent advocacy continuing to influence his decisions even after her passing.
