The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Katsina State, Senator Yakubu Lado Danmarke, has promised to introduce free healthcare services for residents if elected governor in the 2027 governorship election.

Lado made the pledge on Saturday during the inauguration of a 2,000-member governorship campaign council at the party’s state secretariat in Katsina.

He said his administration would prioritise healthcare, education and security, which he described as critical sectors that had suffered setbacks under the present administration.

The former senator assured residents that access to medical services would not be determined by their financial capacity, promising that patients would receive treatment in hospitals without out-of-pocket payments.

“I will not allow anyone who is sick to pay a penny in hospital if elected governor come 2027,” he declared.

Lado also criticised the performance of the incumbent administration, alleging that Katsina State had recorded poor human development outcomes in the last three years.

He expressed concern over what he described as declining standards in the education sector, while accusing the government of failing to adequately address the security challenges confronting communities across the state.

“In the last three years, education has suffered a setback in Katsina State. Insecurity is also another concern bedevilling the state, which we got into due to poor administration in the last three years,” he said.

The PDP candidate, however, promised to adopt a different development approach if elected, saying he would work with his team to improve the state’s fortunes.
