The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Umo Eno, has penned an emotional and heartwarming message to his daughter, Helen Eno Obareki, on the occasion of her birthday.
In a post on his verified X handle on Sunday, Governor Eno reflected on the joys of parenthood and expressed his pride in Helen’s achievements and resilience, particularly after the passing of her mother.
“As parents, we all have dreams for our children. The real joy of parenthood is watching our children not only live out those dreams but also surpass them in ways we never expected,” he wrote.
The Governor praised Helen for her strength and dedication in carrying on her late mother’s legacy, noting her leadership roles as Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Initiative and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Golden Initiative for All (GIFA).
“When we lost your mother, you stood tall amidst the pain and carried responsibilities that many would have run away from. You didn’t just step into her shoes; you’ve made them your own, bringing grace, compassion, and resilience… Your leadership, kindness, and determination continue to inspire me and so many others,” Eno added.
He concluded the message with a heartfelt birthday wish:
“On your birthday today, I celebrate the strong, selfless, and visionary woman you are becoming. Keep leading, keep serving, and keep shining. Happy Birthday, Helen. I’m truly proud of you.”
