Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has commiserated with the incumbent National Chairman of the party, Nentawe Yilwatda, over the death of his mother, Madam Lydia Yilwatda.
In statement Monday in Abuja, signed by his Chief Press Secretary Edwin Olofu, Ganduje, described the late Madam Lydia as a devoted and virtuous woman who dedicated her life to the service of God, her family, and her community.
The former Kano State governor noted her sterling virtues are evident in the life and leadership qualities of her son, Yilwatda, who today leads the ruling party.
Ganduje said said “the passing of a mother is one of life’s greatest pains.
“On behalf of my family, associates, and supporters, I extend heartfelt condolences to our National Chairman, Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda, and the entire Yilwatda family. Mama Lydia will be remembered for her moral uprightness, her selfless disposition, and her role in nurturing generations of responsible citizens. While her death is a great loss, we are consoled by the fact that she lived a fulfilled life of impact and service.”
Ganduje urged the family to draw strength from her enduring legacies, while calling on the APC family nationwide to stand in solidarity with Dr. Yilwatda at this trying moment.
