The Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo SAN, has extended his heartfelt condolences to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, on the passing of his beloved mother, Mama Lydia Yilwatda.
In his condolence message, the Honourable Minister 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.
He noted that Mama Lydia, together with her late husband, Reverend 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.
“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,” Keyamo stated.
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.
