The Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang has commiserated with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, over the passing of his beloved mother, Mama Lydia Yilwatda, who died at the age of 83 after a brief illness.

In a statement signed by Dr  Gyang Bere, the  Director of Press and Public Affairs, Governor Mutfwang, he described Late Mama Lydia as a woman of deep faith, courage, and virtue, whose life was defined by service to God and humanity. He said she was a matriarch of uncommon strength, love, and sacrifice, and a source of inspiration to all who encountered her.

The Governor noted that Mama Lydia’s earthly journey was marked by compassion, wisdom, tolerance, and kindness, values she imparted to her children and extended family. He recalled her steadfast devotion to the Christian faith, as she and her late husband labored faithfully in God’s vineyard, drawing many to the path of righteousness. According to him, attaining the age of 83 was a rare blessing, sustained by God’s divine grace.

Governor Mutfwang acknowledged that Mama’s transition has created a painful void, especially at a time when her counsel and guidance would have been most needed. He, however, urged the immediate and extended family to find comfort in the enduring legacy of her exemplary life and in the unfailing promises of God.

On behalf of his family, the government, and the good people of Plateau State, Governor Mutfwang extended his deepest condolences to Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, his siblings, and the entire Yilwatda family. He prayed for God’s comfort, strength, and peace to abide with all who mourn Mama Lydia’s departure.
