I, Comr. Yakubu Nazir Abdulhakeem writing on behalf of the Kogi Central Persons with Disabilities Association to draw of His Excellency, the Execultive Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo attention to the urgent need for the inclusion of individuals with disabilities in the upcoming Local Government Elections in Kogi State.

In the last Local Government Election, positions such as vice chairman, councillors, and council leaders were reserved for women, as initiated by the former Governor, His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello. This initiative laid a strong foundation for inclusiveness, which we believe should also extend to persons with disabilities.

We are appealing to His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo and other stakeholders within the APC to allocate positions for persons with disabilities in the forthcoming Local Government Elections. This inclusion would not only affirm the commitment to diversity but also demonstrate that the government is truly for all segments of society.

We are confident that your administration, known for its support of the Disabled Community, will recognize the importance of this initiative. Inclusivity is a core value that benefits everyone, and we believe that empowering persons with disabilities to participate in governance will strengthen our community as a whole.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. We look forward to your positive response and continued support for the disabled community in Kogi State.

More power to your elbow, Your Excellency.

Signed:
Comr. Yakubu Nazir Abdulhakeem
President: Kogi Central Persons with Disabilities Association
