VOICE OF NAIJA – Chief Whip of the House of Representatives, Usman Bello Kumo, has commended President Bola Tinubu for his interventions in healthcare and education infrastructure in Gombe State.
Kumo also hailed the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, for her sustained commitment to humanitarian services through the Renewed Hope Initiative.
The lawmaker representing Akko Federal Constituency noted that the numerous federal interventions across the North-East, particularly in Gombe State, reflect the Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress (APC) government’s determination to meet the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians.
Expressing delight at the commissioning of the newly upgraded Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Kumo, on Thursday, Kumo said the wellbeing of any nation is directly tied to the health of its people.
He reaffirmed that Gombe remains a stronghold of the APC and pledged continued loyalty to the Tinubu administration, assuring of the people’s readiness to support the President’s re-election bid in 2027 to consolidate ongoing gains.

“It is also important to tell the story of the giant strides of our governor, who without question remains one of the best performing in Nigeria. The records are there, in case you are in doubt,” he said.
The First Lady, Mrs. Tinubu, alongside Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, CON, and the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Ali Pate, commissioned the newly upgraded FMC, Kumo.
In Kumo, the First Lady received a rousing welcome as residents, youths, trade groups, and students trooped out in large numbers to celebrate the historic event.
In her remarks, Senator Tinubu lauded the Gombe State Government for its massive investment in healthcare, which laid the foundation for transforming the hospital from a general hospital into a world-class Federal Medical Centre.
“This facility is a clear demonstration of what visionary leadership can achieve. It will significantly improve access to quality healthcare services and stands as a testament to the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” she said.
The First Lady expressed optimism that Gombe would sustain its development trajectory and reaffirmed her commitment to amplifying the voices of the people at the national level.
“I believe Governor Inuwa Yahaya, who has his people at heart, will continue to support our initiatives for the betterment of Nigerians, especially those at the grassroots,” she added.
She also emphasized the role of traditional institutions in national development, urging religious, traditional, and community leaders to collaborate with government in sustaining peace and promoting grassroots growth.
Earlier, Senator Tinubu paid homage to the Emir of Akko, Alhaji Umar Muhammad Atiku, at his palace in Kumo.
In recognition of her contributions to humanity and the developmental strides of the Tinubu administration in Akko, Gombe, and Nigeria at large, the Emir conferred on her the revered traditional title of “Sarauniyar Yakin Akko.”
The Emir described the commissioning of the FMC as a historic milestone that marks a new chapter in healthcare delivery for the people of Gombe State.
