The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Katsina State, Senator Yakubu Lado Danmarke, has promised free medical treatment for residents of the state if elected governor in 2027.
Lado made the promise during the inauguration of his campaign committee ahead of the 2027 governorship election. He also described himself as a businessman who inherited the business tradition from his family, rather than engaging in drug abuse.
He said that if elected governor, he would not misuse public funds, adding that his administration would be guided by honesty, accountability and responsible leadership.
The PDP candidate also renewed his promise to establish three major hospitals across the state’s three senatorial zones to provide quality healthcare and reduce the need for residents to travel outside the state or country in search of medical treatment.
He said his administration would give priority to healthcare, education and security, which he described as key sectors that, in his view, had not received adequate attention under the current administration.
Earlier, the PDP Chairman in Katsina State, Nura Amadi, said the formation of a 2,000-member campaign committee showed the party’s determination to contest the 2027 governorship election.
Amadi expressed satisfaction with the experience and diverse backgrounds of those selected to serve on the committee. He said its members included business owners, industrialists, retired civil servants, former security personnel, students, women and representatives of other groups.
He urged members of the various committees to remain committed and work hard to promote the party’s policies at the local government and community levels. He also called on them to work together towards achieving the PDP’s electoral objectives.
During the event, the campaign committee members were formally inaugurated, with retired Brigadier General Sagir Musa appointed as Director-General of the campaign organisation.
The inauguration marked another step in the preparations by Senator Yakubu Lado and the PDP ahead of the 2027 Katsina State governorship election.
