SDP Nat’l Chairman Mourns Lydia Yilwatda

The Acting National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Dr. Sadiq Umar Abubakar Gombe, has expressed shock over the demise of the mother of the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Madam Lydia Yilwatda.

This is contained in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Araba Rufus Aiyenigba in Abuja.

The statement notes that it is hard for one to loose one’s mother, particularly a great pillar that she was, at a critical period such as this, hence it says Professor Yilwatda is saddled with a major task of piloting the affairs of the nation’s ruling party.

According to the statement, the SDP shares in the grief of the new APC national Chairman, considering that this sad occurrence is coming at a time that the invaluable wise counsel and support of his mother are most needed by him.

The statement prays that God comforts Professor Nentawe Yilwatda and wishes the entire family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

“May Mama Lydia Yilwatda’s great soul find rest”.
