The forum's chairman, Hon. Olamijuwonlo Alao-Akala, in a statement issued yesterday in Abuja by the director-general of YIPF, Hon. Tony Nwulu, prayed for divine comfort and strength for the Yilwatda family and the broader APC community during this period of mourning.

The forum described the deceased as a woman of profound discipline, love and selfless service to her family and community, saying her values and legacy are reflected in the character and leadership of the APC chairman.

"We share in your grief, but we are also comforted by the knowledge that Mama Lydia lived a fulfilled life, leaving behind values and legacies that will continue to inspire generations," the statement read.
