Mama Lydia was described as a “devoted Christian,” a “virtuous woman leader,” and a “pillar of the Church of Christ in Nations.”
The party noted that “the late Mama’s death is painful and devastating to the Yilwatdas, because she died at the time her motherly advice and prayers were most needed, particularly to the National Chairman Professor Yilwatda.”
Her contributions to the church’s growth alongside her late husband, Reverend Toma Goshewe Yilwatda, were also acknowledged.
The statement said, “The consoling record is that the deceased left behind an indelible and accomplished legacy, which is manifested in her children.”
The APC prayed for God to grant her soul “an eternal rest.”
