Idde, a former Majority Leader in the Nasarawa House of Assembly, spoke on Monday in Lafia, during a consultation visit to the members of the House of Assembly.
The aspirant said that a strong science education in secondary school would encourage more youths to study human medicine.
He promised to build on the strong foundation laid by Gov. Tanko Al-Makura, saying that he would pay attention to rural development, agriculture, health and youth employment.
Idde promised to provide electricity to rural settlements to discourage rural-urban migration, adding that he would run an open administration that would involve everyone.
