Abba Gida Gida lauds NMA for organising governorship debate on health agenda

The NNPP gubernatorial candidate for Kano State 2023 Engr. Abba K. Yusuf has lauded the efforts of Kano state branch of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) for organising its maiden governorship debate.

Abba in a letter signed by his Spokesperson Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, on Thursday, described the event as a symbolic attempt to prioritise the health development agenda.

While apologising for his inability to participate at the event due to unavailable engagements placed in his tight schedule, said the letter of the debate was brought to his notice when he was already out of the state.

“Meanwhile, the NNPP gubernatorial candidate directed Dr. Abubakar Labaran Yusuf, a former commissioner of health to tender his apology at the occasion.”
