Tragedy has struck the family of Akwa Ibom State’s Deputy Governor, Senator Akon Eyakenyi, with the passing of her daughter, Blessing, just seven months after her wedding.
Blessing tied the knot with her husband, Olumuyiwa Adewumi, on June 22, 2024, but sadly lost her life due to complications during childbirth at a hospital in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The news has sent shockwaves throughout the state, with government officials, politicians, and friends offering their condolences to the grieving family. This tragic event comes on the heels of another loss for the state, following the passing of Governor Umo Eno’s wife just a few months ago.
