Prof. Christopher Yilgwan Celebrates 50th Birthday with Staff and Patients at Plateau Specialist Hospital
The Chief Medical Director of the Plateau State Specialist Hospital, Jos, Professor Christopher Sabo Yilgwan, has celebrated his 50th birthday in a reflective ceremony held within the hospital premises, bringing together management, staff, patients, childhood friends, and other December-born celebrants.
Speaking at the event, Prof. Yilgwan expressed profound gratitude to God for the gift of life, recounting his humble beginnings. He revealed that he was born prematurely and spent his first three months in an incubator, describing the hospital as a place that has remained central to his life’s journey.
“From birth till today, my life has revolved around the hospital. I was admitted at birth, and since then my life has been in the hospital. It feels only right to celebrate my birthday in a place that represents God’s preservation over my life,” he said.
The Chief Medical Director appreciated the hospital management and staff for their unwavering support and reaffirmed his commitment to advancing the institution. He assured that efforts would continue to ensure the delivery of quality and affordable healthcare services to citizens.
“My desire is to move this hospital forward. Together, we will continue to provide quality healthcare services to our people at an affordable cost,” he added.
In a goodwill message, a childhood friend of the celebrant and Deputy Comptroller of the Nigerian Immigration Service, Mr. Edward Dawam, reflected on their early years and shared fond childhood memories. He described Prof. Yilgwan as a principled and cheerful individual whose life journey stands as a testimony of God’s grace. He also encouraged patients not to lose hope, noting that the celebrant himself once began life as a hospital patient and is today a living testimony.
The Head of Department, Nursing Services, Mrs. Lami Chiroma, officiated the cake-cutting ceremony, offering prayers from Psalm 34:4 and declaring that the heart desires of the celebrant would not be cut short.
Highlights of the event included special prayers, candle blowing, fireworks, group photographs, and goodwill messages from staff and management.
Dignitaries in attendance included the Head of Clinical Services, Dr. Saidu Barnabas; Director of Administration, Mr. Jacob Dung Bot; Head of Planning, Research and Statistics, Dr. Bulus Jonathan; Legal Officer, Barrister Tani Lukden; as well as doctors, nurses on duty, members of KOSA, and other hospital staff.
The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has warned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu against betrayal from some of his cabinet members and some governors within the ruling party.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele made it known that some of the governors in the ruling party are planning to work with former Vice President Abubakar Atiku towards the 2027 presidential election.
He made it known that some top members of the President’s cabinet will also work with the former Vice President.
He also said that Atiku is working with United States politicians.
Primate Ayodele said: “Atiku is planning seriously with the support of America to get victory. He will do a lot of things, and Tinubu shouldn’t be surprised that some governors he believes will work with Atiku secretly. Some members of his cabinet will work with Atiku secretly.”
Furthermore, Primate Ayodele revealed that INEC isn’t ready to conduct a credible election. But according to him, the date of the election isn’t good enough for a credible poll to hold in Nigeria.
Primate Ayodele said the election will be marred by violence and disappointment.
The cleric said that there will be consequences if the election is held on the said date.
He said: “INEC isn’t ready to do credible election, it can be marred with violence and disappointment. The day isn’t yet properly in order for an election that will bring a right president. There will be serious violence and inconclusive results in some states.
"The date isn’t too certain and there will be consequences if it is done. There will be fake ballot papers, and rigging will be the order of the day. INEC will also play their own part.”
Continuing, Primate Ayodele asked the President to do something urgently about the economic situation of the country because it will affect a lot of things.
“The economy hardship will fight harder, and the strategy to fight it isn’t sustainable. Tinubu cannot do this alone; his ministers ought to do something about it, and I see inflation will start rising significantly, and people will not be happy with this. Tinubu should quickly do something about it. They may feel it is not necessary but time will tell," he added.

Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Minister Nyesom Wike has taunted the 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, saying the former Anambra State governor can only win the coming election on social media.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ town hall meeting in Bonny Local Government Area of Rivers State on Saturday, Wike said he would vote for Obi if the election were to choose a social media president but insisted that the NDC candidate could not govern Nigeria.
“Truly speaking, I give Obi president of social media. If you were voting for the president of social media, I would vote for him,” he said.
Wike also described Obi as a stingy politician whom the country's economy cannot be entrusted to.
DAILY POST reports that the Minister, who is heading the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential campaign in Abuja and Rivers has always criticized Obi and other candidates.
He had also expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu would be re-elected in the January 16 election, dismissing the chances of the opposition.
