“You were my anchor, the one who could tell me what was right and what was wrong. With your death, a part of me is gone, but i will cherish the memories we shared forever.

 

“Today, as we bid you farewell, the whole world is here, celebrating your memories, and as I look at our children and grandchildren, I take consolation in the fact that, the journey that began 40 years ago, in church, has been a journey of growth and immeasurable blessings and we will be fine.

 

“I will never describe you in past tense. You will always be my “Oluwakemi,” alive in my mine, fresh in my thoughts and warm in my heart,” Eno stated.

 

In her remarks, the wife of the Vice President, Hajia Nana Shettima who recalled the laudable contributions to humanity by the departed First Lady, urged the family to emulate her legacies.

 

Earlier in his homely, Rev. Simeon Afolabi of the First Love Assembly in Port Harcourt, who spoke on the topic; “When Death of Love Ones Occurs,” said whenever loved ones die, our world strain because of what we think of her, adding that anyone who make a difference in life does not die alone.

 

Drawing copiously from 1 Thessalonians 4;15-16, Afolabi urged the family of the late first lady to emulate the good legacies of their late mother.

 

Other dignitaries at the solemn ceremony include Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara; Governor of Bauchi State, Sen. Bala Mohammed; Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimna; Abia State governor, Gov Alex Otti, and former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Udom Emmanuel.

 

Others include the Minister of State for Petroleum (Gas), Ekprikpe Ekpo; the Chief Judge of Akwa Ibom State, Justice Ekaette Obot and former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Obong Umana Okon Umana and a host of other dignitaries.
