Senator Solomon Adeola (APC, Ogun West), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, has commiserated with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, over the death of his mother, Madam Lydia Yilwatda.
In a condolence message signed by his Media Adviser, Chief Kayode Odunaro, Senator Adeola expressed sadness at the personal loss suffered by Professor Yilwatda and his family, noting that her passing was not only a blow to them but also to Plateau State and Nigeria at large.
“There is no doubt that the family of Professor Yilwatda lost a devoted matriarch and virtuous woman whose absence will create a vacuum, but more importantly, the nation lost a great woman whose wise counsel would have been invaluable to present and upcoming generations,” the senator stated.
Adeola described Madam Yilwatda as a respected Christian and community leader who supported her late clergy husband and lived a life of accomplishments and positive contributions to society.
He prayed for the peaceful repose of her soul and for strength for the family to bear the irreparable loss.
