Political Drama Unfolds at Nentawe's Mother's Burial
The burial of Yilwatda's mother, Mama Lydia Yilwatda, at the Church of Christ Nations COCIN Headquarters in Jos turned into a political spectacle ahead of the 2027 general elections. Despite Mama Lydia's passing in August 2025 at the age of 83, her final interment in Kanke Local Government Area, Plateau State, was marred by political banners and billboards across Jos.
The delay in the burial raised suspicions of political motives, with accusations directed at President Tinubu for neglecting ongoing insecurity and killings in Plateau State. The event highlighted the intersection of cultural practices, political interests, and security concerns in the region.
