On behalf of the Kogi APC Disability Support Group, I wish to extend our warm greetings and express our gratitude to His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, Executive Governor of Kogi State for steady responsibility to the development of Kogi State.
As you prepare for the forthcoming Local Government Elections, we would like to humbly appeal to you, as both the Executive Governor of our great State and the esteemed leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to reconsider the sharing formula in a manner that ensures total inclusiveness for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in Kogi State.
We believe that, just as there are designated percentages for men and women, it is equally vital that a certain percentage is allocated for PWDs. We are integral members of the community you govern, and our inclusion would not only reflect your fatherly care for all citizens but also empower us to actively participate in the governance of our state.
We kindly urge you to work with the State APC Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Bello, to facilitate this appeal and ensure that the voices of PWDs are heard and represented in the upcoming elections.
May Almighty Allah guide you as you continue to pilot the affairs of this great state towards total inclusiveness. We remain hopeful for a positive response to our request.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter. More power to your elbow, Your Excellency.
Signed:
Comr. Yakubu Nazir Abdulhakeem
