Umo Eno, the Governor of Akwa Ibom state has explained that he’s not to about to marry a new wife following the death of his wife, Helen Eno.
Eno conveyed the decision of his daughter’s appointment as “First Lady” during a condolence visit by Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and colleagues.
Against the speculation of an existing second wife, the governor had told his comforters from the Senate, “I’m not about to marry a new wife now”, joking he didn’t have the money to pay for bride price.
He added; “No one will be able to fill that vacuum (of her deceased wife). Her legacy will live in our hearts. She had started projects and I had to introduce our daughter, Helen, to the First Lady.
“So she would step in to coordinate that office so that the office would still be active in doing the programmes that she had started”.
