In his first press conference since taking office, Yusuf Ado Kibiya, the newly elected chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano State, outlined his plans for addressing issues facing the state.
Speaking at the Press Center in Kano, Kibiya discussed efforts to strengthen democracy, improve leadership, and address infrastructure needs across key sectors.
Kibiya thanked supporters for their backing during the October 12 election and acknowledged the responsibility of his new position.
He pointed to significant challenges, particularly in the economy, education, healthcare, and social services, which he attributed to the failures of the current national and state governments. He criticized the use of public funds on non-essential projects, highlighting neglect in critical areas like education and healthcare.
“Many citizens are struggling, students lack quality education, and our healthcare system needs urgent reform,” he stated, stressing the importance of restoring public trust.
Kibiya emphasized his commitment to fair and transparent elections within the PDP to strengthen democratic processes. He also focused on developing leaders committed to integrity and public service.
One of Kibiya’s main initiatives is a ten-year development program to address long-term needs in agriculture, health, and education. He stated that any future PDP governor or candidate in Kano would be expected to support this plan.
The chairman also addressed issues such as leadership crises, institutional relationships, and social challenges facing the state.
“We aim to create a platform where problems in Kano State can be addressed, and solutions developed,” Kibiya stated, adding that discipline and accountability would be central to his administration.
Kibiya called on all citizens, regardless of party affiliation, to work together toward positive change in Kano. He pledged a responsive and accountable approach to governance.
