Former governor of Sokoto State and leader of the Sokoto State All Progressives Congress (APC), Sen. Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, has said the state party’s governorship candidate, Ahmad Aliyu, would improve healthcare services if elected as governor in 2023.
In a statement issued by his special assistant in new media, Bashar Abubakar, Senator Wamakko spoke when he received over 2,000 members of the Ahmad Aliyu Medical Aid Association at his Gawon Nama residence.
He commended them for their commitment towards supporting the provision of quality healthcare services across the state.
Earlier, the team leader of the Ahmad Aliyu Medical Aid Association, Alhaji Usman Aliyu, told the senator that the group provides medical support to the people of the state as part of its social responsibility to the people especially those in the rural areas.
Usman said despite the limitations in capacity and political will of the government of the day with attendant threats and difficulties being experienced across the state, his group had remained committed in ensuring that it achieved set healthcare improvement objectives.
“The association has 23 coordinators and over 2000 members across the state who are working round the clock to mobilize support for the APC in the coming elections,” Usman said.
He described the group as solely an APC support group using its resources to purchase assorted medical equipment for its operations.
