LAGOS – Mr. Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, has extended his heartfelt condolences to Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on the passing of Mama Lydia Yilwatda, his mother.
A statement on Monday by Mr. Tunde Moshood, Special Adviser, Media & Communications to Keyamo, said that Keyamo described Mama Lydia’s death as a profound loss, not only to her immediate family, but also to the wider Christian community and all who were touched by her life of faith, service, and sacrifice.
Keyamo noted that Mama Lydia, together with her late husband, Rev. Toma Yilwatda, played a pivotal role in strengthening the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) across Borno, Yobe, Bauchi, and Plateau states, leaving behind a legacy of devotion to God and humanity.
He said: “Her wisdom and prayers will be deeply missed, especially at this period when it is most needed. In this time of grief, may you and your family find solace in the beautiful memories you shared, and in the knowledge that she lived a life wholly dedicated to God and humanity.
The minister prayed for the peaceful repose of Mama Lydia’s soul and urged the family to take comfort in the enduring impact of her good works.
