‘Handiwork of detractors’ — Umo Eno reacts as daughter accuses him of ‘sacrificing’ wife

‘Handiwork of detractors’ — Umo Eno reacts as daughter accuses him of ‘sacrificing’ wife

 Umo Eno, governor of Akwa Ibom, has blamed “political
detractors” for his daughter’s outburst against him.

 

A video of Jane Ufot, daughter of Eno, seemingly accusing
her dad of “sacrificing” Patience, her late mother, has been making the round
on social media.

 

Patience Umo Eno died on September 27, 2024, after an
illness.

 

“Daddy please. Let us talk before this thing destroys. I’m
not a sacrifice, mummy was, but I’m not,” Ufot said in the viral clip.

 

 

Afterwards, Ufot told her daughter to repeat the following
words after her: “Grandpa, do you want them to kill us? Do you want them to die
like my brother and baby brother died?

 

“If I die today or my daughter dies… if we die because God
is exposing the truth, so be it. But my blood will not go scot free.”

 

‘WE’RE IN POLITICAL TIMES’

 Responding to the allegation on Saturday, Eno said the
timing of the video speaks volumes, adding that the clip was recorded shortly
after his wife passed in 2024.

 

He also put Ufot’s outburst down to the trauma of losing her
mum at the time.

 

“We are in political times, so you expect more of that. My
family is intact and the event they were talking about happened immediately
after my wife passed away last year,” he said.

 

“Why is it surfacing now and on the eve of the second year
anniversary that we are celebrating the milestones that we have achieved? This
means there are detractors around.

 

 

“My family is intact. The pressure kids go through when they
lose a loved one could be traumatic and all I can appeal to the public is that
they shouldn’t bring back sad memories.

 

“It is enough that I have lost my wife and I pray they allow
her peaceful soul to rest. I can’t be distracted. I remain focused and continue
to serve Akwa Ibom people.”

 

Eno recently announced that he was leaving the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
