Introduction to the APC Chairman’s Condolence Visit
The death of his mother will continue to inspire the legacy of service she imbibed into him at his formative age, says APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda. Yilwatda said this when he received the Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Malam Ali M. Ali and his management team on a condolence visit on Tuesday in Abuja.
The Pain of Losing a Mother
He said that the death of a mother is a painful one, though as a first child it is more devastating. The late Mama Lydia Yilwatda, aged 83 years, passed on Saturday after a brief illness. Mama Lydia was a devoted Christian, a virtuous woman leader, and a pillar of the Church of Christ in Nations.
Legacy of Service
Yilwatda expressed his joy, stating that his mother left a legacy of service to be emulated by all her children, and it is this that will make him continue to do more for Nigerians irrespective of where they belong in terms of party, religion, or social standing. He said, “As a first born and even that after seven years of no child, the bond between me and my mother is indescribable. She devoted a lot of her time and resources toward our upbringing.”
Recent Success in By-Election
On the recent success recorded by the APC in the by-election on Saturday, Yilwatda said it was a sign that Nigerians are beginning to see what the ruling party can offer. He said that APC remains a party that continues to put the present and future destiny of the country and its youths in the front burner.
Administration’s Achievements
Yilwatda also talked about the administration’s achievements, stating that what happened during the by-election was a sign that what the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been doing is making an impact across the country. The administration has been able to save the country to the point that more infrastructure development is being carried out everywhere in Nigeria.
Partnership with NAN
Yilwatda pledged to be the voice of the voiceless, adding that all shades of opinions would be considered and adequate attention given to them. He thanked the News Agency of Nigeria for its objective reporting, stating that NAN is a veritable tool because of its wide reach and acceptability within and outside the country.
Condolence Message from NAN MD
Responding, Ali urged the APC chairman to take the loss of his dear mother as the will of the Almighty who does not make mistakes. He said the loss of such a mother called for thanks-giving because with the achievement of her son, she can be rest assured that her legacy would continue.
