National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, visited Kano to offer condolences to his Chief of Staff, Mustapha Dawaki, following the death of his mother, Hajiya Binta Bala.
In a heartfelt statement, Prof. Yilwatda praised the late matriarch’s enduring legacy, noting how her values shine through in her son’s character and public service dedication.
This was disclosed by the Special Adviser on Media and Communications Strategy, to the APC’s national chairman, Abimbola Tooki, in a press release.
Hajiya Binta Bala, 83, passed away after a prolonged illness. Her Janazah prayers were observed last Saturday at Dawakin Kudu Central Mosque in Dawaki Town, adhering to Islamic traditions, the press statement reveals.
Prof. Yilwatda prayed for the peaceful repose of her soul and divine strength for the grieving family during this challenging period.
As part of the visit, the APC National Chairman toured the Police Private School (PPS), Dawkin Nkudu, an education initiative established by Hon. Dawaki to advance access to quality learning in the state, the press release also added.
The school, which has grown to over 700 students in less than two and a half years, it maintains, stands as one of several empowerment projects undertaken by Dawaki to uplift communities and invest in human capital.
Professor Yilwatda, himself an academic, commended Hon. Dawaki for his foresight and commitment to education, noting that sustainable development begins with deliberate investments in knowledge and character formation.
He praised the school’s management and staff for their dedication, professionalism, and the nurturing environment they provide, describing the institution as a beacon for shaping Nigeria’s future leaders.
The condolence visit, the press statement noted, also drew a warm reception from residents of Dawkin Nkudu and surrounding communities, many of whom were said to have trooped out in large numbers to welcome the APC National Chairman, an affirmation of Hon. Dawaki’s strong grassroots connection and popularity in the area.
Professor Yilwatda concluded by encouraging continued community-focused initiatives that empower young people, strengthen social cohesion, and reinforce the APC’s commitment to people-centered development across the country, the statement concluded.
