GOV ENO PAYS LAST RESPECT TO LATE BARR. BEN UDOWA

...describes him as a friend and man of many parts

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has commiserated with Mrs Lydia Udowa and family on the demise of her husband, Late Barr Ben Udowa.

In a condolence message delivered to the deceased family during the funeral held at The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Region Region 49 Headquarters, Eket, Governor Eno said the loss of a spouse, especially at such a relatively young age, evokes a deep sense of grief, assuring them that the whole state share in their painful moment.

He described the late Barr Udonwa as a man of many parts, a financial services expert, lawyer, entrepreneur, philanthropist, mentor and a beloved community leader, adding that he had inspired many to chart a course of personal development and growth.

The Governor observed that the deceased successfully led his multidisciplinary group of companies, Madelyn Group, and served the State meritoriously until his sad passing as the Executive Director, Other Investments in the Akwa Ibom State Investment Corporation (AKICORP), and distinguished himself as a dependable and far-sighted member of the critical agency.

He noted that as a good friend, late Barr Udowa believed and supported him wholeheartedly, a gesture which culminated to his successful campaign and subsequent emergence as Governor of the State in the 2023 general elections.

The State Chief Executive therefore urged the bereaved family to take solace in the fact that despite his short sojourn on earth, he was able to record a lot of impactful achievements, touched many lives and lived a life defined by Christian virtues, and prayed God to rest the soul of the departed.

The wife of the deceased, Mrs Lydia Udowa, thanked the Governor for leading State government functionaries to give her late husband the last respect, saying that the family is grateful for the gesture.

Mrs Udowa spoke of her late husband as a good and humble man, saying, "from the huge pouring of condolences from groups and individuals, my husband has been described as an exceptional man of great virtue."

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno has extolled the virtues of Catholic Archbishop of Calabar, Most Rev. Joseph Ekuwem for his ability to speak truth to power and inspire in leaders a desire towards a more Christ- like and people- centric governance style.

The Governor made the remark while speaking at the Archbishop's 75th birthday celebration and thanksgiving mass held at Sacred Heart Parish, Aka Offot, Uyo.

The Governor noted that Archbishop Ekuwem has inspired people to serve God better, embrace the kingdom of God and has impacted positively on society.

"We have been blessed by the force of your moral suasion and the uncanny ability to speak truth to power and, inspire in leaders a more Christ and people - centric governance.

"Today, because of the inspirational work you have done in Christian ecumenism, many have come to embrace the Kingdom of God, strongholds have been broken and gates of salvation flung open to all who seek redemption through Christ.

"We, at the State level, have been honoured by your kind acceptance to head our State Christian Leadership Advisory Council- an inter-denominational group of our fathers and mothers in faith, who have gladly agreed to join us in putting our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ at the centre of our administration," he said.

The Governor who also joined Archbishop Ekuwem at the reception for the event which incorporated a book presentation,

Bishop John Ayah of the Catholic Diocese of Uyo applauded the exemplary christian life of Archbishop Ekuwem, and appreciated Governor Eno, whom he described as a good friend of the Catholic Church, for honouring the Archbishop with his presence, and for pursuing the ministry of reconciliation with vigour and maintaining peace across the State.

Earlier in his homily, Very Rev. Fr. Gabriel Ekong admonished Christians to do things that enhance life and good health, exercise mental restraint and desist from saying or doing things that could be injurious to others.

At the reception, Chairman on the occasion and former Deputy Governor of the State, Engr. Patrick Ekpotu, said Archbishop Ekuwem is a man of integrity and honour worthy of celebration.
