Governor Umo Eno Blames Political Rivals for Resurfaced Video of Daughter’s Accusation

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has reacted to the resurfacing of an old video in which his daughter, Jane Eddidiong Ufot, accused him of contributing to her mother’s death, attributing the renewed circulation to political opponents attempting to smear his image.
In a statement addressing the video—originally recorded shortly after the death of his wife, Patience Eno, in September 2024—the governor described its reappearance as a calculated move to distract from his administration’s second anniversary celebrations and achievements.
“Jane is right here, with her husband. We have a good family. The children were under pressure. Losing a loved one is traumatic, especially for them,” Eno said. “I appeal to the public—please stop bringing back sad memories. I’ve lost my wife already. May her perfect soul rest in peace.”
Governor Eno further called for sensitivity during the mourning process, urging the public to avoid reopening emotional wounds.
“We’re in political times, so you expect more of this,” he said. “My family is intact—you can see everyone here. The video in question was recorded shortly after my wife passed away last year. So why is it resurfacing now, just as we’re marking our second anniversary and celebrating our achievements? It only confirms there are detractors.”
He added: “I remain focused and committed to serving the people of Akwa Ibom. I wouldn’t wish what happened to me on anyone. If those sharing this video wish the same for themselves, I wish them luck. But I believe even in politics, families should be off-limits.”
Patience Eno passed away on September 26, 2024, in hospital after a brief illness that was not publicly disclosed.
