Uyo, Akwa Ibom state - Governor Umo Eno-led Akwa Ibom state government alleged that Mrs. Jane Eddidiong Ufot was manipulated by ‘false prophets’ to share the viral video.
Ufot accused her father, Governor Eno, of the evil forces behind last year’s death of her mother, Pastor Mrs Patience Eno.

Legit.ng reports that Ufotis the Senior Special Adviser (SSA) to the Governor on Health, Safety, and Environment.
In the video, she and her little daughter expressed intense threats to their lives by the same evil forces they believed “sacrificed” the late governor’s wife.
As reported by Vanguard, Ufot warned Governor Eno never to allow forces to kill her and daughter the same way.
The Commissioner for Information, Aniekan Umanah, said Governor Eno’s daughter acted under the influence of false prophets taking advantage of the trauma of losing a dear mother.
“Reflects a moment of emotional outpouring from a bereaved child who, under the influence of false prophets, had been misled to believe the family’s involvement in politics contributed to her mother’s demise. The child was simply seeking attention and reassurance from her father during a time of deep grief”
Umanah said the video was captured shortly after the painful passing of the governor’s beloved wife last year.
He added that:
“It is disheartening that a private and traumatic moment involving a grieving young girl is now being maliciously weaponized in an attempt to tarnish the image of the Governor and score cheap political points.
“At no point in the said video did the child accuse the Governor of causing her mother’s death, as falsely portrayed by mischief makers. The government observed with concern the calculated attempts by detractors and self-styled “pastorpreneurs” to exploit a deeply emotional family moment for political mischief.
