Tinubu To Visit Plateau Saturday For APC Chairman’s Mother’s Burial
About The Author
President Bola Tinubu will travel to Jos, Plateau State, on Saturday, to attend a funeral.
“President Tinubu will depart Lagos for Jos to attend the funeral prayers in honour of Nana Lydia Yilwatda Goshwe,” he said.
He explained that Mama Lydia was the mother of the All Progressives Congress National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe.
Onanuga added that Tinubu would also address Church leaders across the North at the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) Church headquarters in Jos.
Earlier, Tinubu had expressed his condolences to Professor Yilwatda following the passing of his mother at 83 years old.
He described Mama Lydia as “a woman of virtue who lived a life dedicated to faith, service, and community.”
The President urged the APC Chairman to accept the loss as God’s will and be consoled by her legacy.
Tinubu’s planned visit follows his earlier condemnation of the incessant killings in Plateau State earlier this year.
In April, he decried an attack in Bassa Local Government Area that claimed more than 50 lives and destroyed homes.
He extended sympathies to Governor Caleb Mutfwang and urged strong political will to restore lasting peace to affected communities.
