The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, has expressed deep sorrow over the death of the mother of the party’s National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, who passed away peacefully yesterday at an advanced age.
Speaking for the National Working Committee (NWC), party leaders, members and supporters nationwide, Professor Yilwatda offered heartfelt condolences to Senator Basiru, his family, and the people of Osun State.
He described the deceased as a devoted matriarch whose life was marked by faith, dignity, sacrifice and steadfast commitment to her family.
In a message conveyed by his Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, the National Chairman acknowledged the pain of losing a loved one while finding solace in the knowledge that she lived a full life, raised exemplary children, and left a legacy of values that continue to inspire those who knew her.
Professor Yilwatda particularly commends Senator Basiru for the exceptional love, care and devotion he consistently demonstrated towards his mother throughout her lifetime.
The APC national chairman noted that even during the period of her illness, the National Secretary remained steadfast, ensuring she received the best possible attention while balancing the enormous responsibilities of his office and his commitment to the Party.
His exemplary sense of duty to his mother reflects the values of compassion, gratitude and family responsibility that Nigerians hold dear, he said.
The APC National Chairman prays that Almighty Allah, in His infinite mercy, forgives Mama's shortcomings, grants her eternal rest in Al-Jannah Firdaus, and comforts Senator Basiru, his siblings, children, and the entire family with the strength and fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.
Professor Yilwatda urges Senator Basiru to take solace in the remarkable legacy his mother leaves behind—a legacy reflected in the integrity, discipline, humility and service that have become hallmarks of his public life. He expresses confidence that her memory will continue to inspire the family to uphold the noble virtues she embodied.
"On behalf of our great Party, I extend our deepest sympathies to our National Secretary and his family at this difficult moment. We share in your grief and pray that the Almighty grants Mama eternal rest and gives the family the courage to bear this loss. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace."
