Akpabio condoles APC National Chairman over mother’s death |

The President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has commiserated with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, over the passing of his mother, Lydia Yilwatda.

This was contained in a condolence message signed and issued to newsmen by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Hon. Eseme Eyiboh.

In the message, Akpabio described the late Mama Lydia as “a caring and loving mother, who sacrificed for her children and the family at large”.

He said though she died at the ripe age of 83, her motherly care and counsel were still needed by her son and the current generation.

He said he was consoled by the fact that the late Mama Lydia lived a life of service and together with her late husband, Rev. Toma Yilwatda, played their roles diligently as parents, by “training their children, who are now contributing positively to the development of the society”.
