A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the 2023 senatorial candidate for Southern Kaduna, Michael Auta has applauded President Bola Tinubu for approving the conversion of Yakowa General hospital, Kafanchan to a Federal Medical Centre (FMC).
The General hospital was named after the late governor of Kaduna State, Sir Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa. He died in an helicopter crash in December 2012.
The APC Chieftain who stated this while interacting with newsmen on Friday also commended the good People of Southern Kaduna for their peaceful coexistence, and called on them to ensure that the gesture being extended to the region is reciprocated in 2027 by massively voting for President Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani.
Auta commended Vice President Kashim Shettima and Governor Uba Sani and member representing Zango/Jaba federal constituency and Chairman House committee on health, Hon. Amos Gwamna for making the upgrading of the hospital a reality.
He noted that the peaceful atmosphere being provided in Kaduna State and the achievements of Governor Sani in the State are in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu.
“I wish to sincerely appreciate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his kind consideration of approving the conversion of Yakowa General Hospital Kafanchan to a Federal Medical Centre, barely weeks after the Federal University of Applied Sciences was equally approved for the Senatorial district.
“I am also extending the appreciation of the good people of Southern Kaduna to Vice president Kashim Shettima and Governor Uba Sani for their support and enabling environment which is in tandem with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu, not forgetting the Honourable Rep.Member of the Zangon /Jaba federal constituency Hon. Amos Gwamna for his efforts in seeing to the realization of the conversion.
“I am appealing to the good people of Southern Kaduna Senatorial district to reciprocate this good gestures come 2027 by voting massively for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani and I can assure you that more dividends of democracy will come to our region”
“By converting the General Hospital to a Federal Medical Centre, the region would benefit from advanced medical facilities, specialized treatments, and an overall upgrade to healthcare services.
“The conversion would also create job opportunities, providing employment for both medical and administrative staff, thus boosting the local economy.
“I am confident in the leadership of President Tinubu to continue driving similar transformative projects across Nigeria, because the President is focused on creating opportunities and improving the quality of life for all citizens.
“I am calling on the people of Kafanchan and Kaduna State at large to take full advantage of the enhanced healthcare services available at the newly established Federal Medical Centre. You should remain committed to the government’s vision and contribute to the success of the initiative by supporting healthcare workers and maintaining the facilities”. He said.
