The Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District, Ede Dafinone, has commiserated with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, on the passing of his mother, Mama Lydia Yilwatda.
The senator in a statement on Tuesday, added that “this loss is deeply felt, not only by the Yilwatda family, but by all who were touched by her kindness, faith, and selfless service.”
He added that “Mama Lydia Yilwatda lived a fulfilled life in the service of God and humanity.”
“Alongside her late husband, Reverend Toma Goshewe Yilwatda, she worked tirelessly in the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), devoting her time, energy, and gifts to the propagation of the gospel. Her unwavering faith and steadfast commitment to Christian values remain a shining example for generations to come.
“At a time like this, I encourage Professor Yilwatda and his family to find comfort in the enduring legacy Mama Lydia leaves behind. Her life was one of faith, humility, and service to the Lord, and her impact will continue to be felt through the lives she touched within the church and the community,” the lawmaker said.
He prayed that “the Almighty God grants Professor Yilwatda and the entire Yilwatda family the fortitude to bear this great loss.”
“May Mama Lydia’s soul rest peacefully in the bosom of the Lord,” he concluded.
