Plateau State Governor Barr. Caleb Mutfwang has hailed the Mother of the Nation, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for her continuous support and love for the state’s people.
Mutfwang stated this in his remarks during the funeral service of Nana Lydia Yilwatda, mother of the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Prof Nentawe Yilwatda, at COCIN headquarters in Jos at the weekend.
According to him, the state has enjoyed the tremendous love and care of the First Family.
“The Mother of the Nation, Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has twice extended her motherly wings of love over us both to console and to encourage us as leaders striving to restore peace on the Plateau, in alignment with our identity as the Home of Peace and Tourism”
Mutfwang further stressed, “Before my younger brother, the APC National Chairman Prof Nentawe Yilwatda, publicly offered himself as the First Son of President Tinubu, I had already applied to have her as my mother.
“And so, let me repeat it with all humility and pride: She is my mother. Our mother’s visits to Plateau State have endeared her to our people.
The Governor also maintained that the state should express its gratitude appropriately.
“While we are grateful for your presence at this solemn occasion, let me, on behalf of the good people of Plateau State, also thank you for your continued support for our developmental efforts.
Mutfwang also disclosed that the state would certainly ask the President to visit them again soon so that he can personally see how they align with the Renewed Hope Agenda.
