Alhaji Muktar Galadima, Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for Wukari/Ibi Federal Constituency in Taraba, has said he will inaugurate a 50-bed capacity hospital in Ibi next month.
Galadima made the declaration on Sunday during the official flag-off of his 2027 campaign for the House of Representatives election held in Wukari Local Government Area of the State.
He said the hospital, which is nearing completion, is his personal project to address healthcare challenges in Ibi.
The PDP candidate said he would also focus on job creation through partnerships with organisations that would equip the youth in his constituency with the skills needed to be self-employed.
He promised to prioritise grassroots development, youth empowerment, women's participation and initiatives aimed at improving the economic wellbeing of his constituents.
On legislative priorities, Galadima pledged to sponsor a bill that would move mining to the Concurrent List.
"If voted into power, I will make legislation that will bring mining into the Concurrent List, allowing states and local communities to carry out mining activities within their domain," he said.
Galadima also pledged to remain accessible to the people, saying regular consultation with constituents would form a major part of his approach to legislative representation.
He urged supporters to intensify mobilisation across the wards and communities of Ibi and Wukari, stressing the importance of unity and sustained grassroots engagement.
The PDP candidate appealed to voters to support his candidacy, promising to make the interests of the constituency central to his legislative agenda if elected.
Speaking at the event, Alhaji Ibrahim Sale, Taraba State Chairman of the PDP, called on supporters to work collectively to strengthen the party's grassroots structure and improve its chances at the polls.
He also appealed to political actors and supporters to conduct their campaigns peacefully and avoid actions capable of creating tension among communities.
Correspondent reports that the flag-off in Wukari marked the formal commencement of Galadima's campaign for the Ibi/Wukari Federal Constituency ahead of the 2027 general elections.
