The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has condoled with Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno over the death of his wife Patience Umo Uno.
Mrs Eno died at a hospital on September 26, 2024, surrounded by family members.
In a condolence message on Tuesday released from the bureau of media and publicity of the PFN, the national president Bishop Francis Wale-Oke described her demise as shocking.
He said: “On behalf of millions of all Pentecostals in Nigeria, we hereby extend our heartfelt condolences and sincere prayers to you and your family in this trying moment of your life.
“Her Excellency was not just a compassionate First Lady, but a mother extraordinary.
“Your Excellency, as a Pentecostal Preacher and father of faith in your own right, we need not remind you of the scriptures in 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 which says, ‘We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed. We are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.’”
He then prayed that the soul of the deceased would find peace with the Lord. The PFN leader also prayed for strength for the governor to continue in ministry and to pursue the state functions entrusted into his hands.
