  • Enjoins President-elect To Include Persons Living With Disabilities In His Cabinet

By Charles Adingupu

The Chairman, The All Rights Foundation (TAF Africa), formerly known as the Albino Foundation, Mr Jake Epelle has praised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for producing the first governor with Albinism in Africa while urging the President-elect to include Persons Living With Disabilities (PWDs) in his cabinet.

The Chairman congratulated Mr. Umo Eno, Governor-elect of Akwa Ibom State, over his emergence as the first ever albino governor, not just in Nigeria, but in Africa.

Against this backdrop, Mr. Epelle appealed to the President-Elect and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to emulate the inclusiveness policy of the PDP, a party that gave its platform to PWDs to contest elections.

The Foundation’s boss who made these declarations during a courtesy visit on the leadership of the PDP also thanked the Party for producing another PWD as governorship candidate in the person of Alhaji Isah Liman Kantigi who, he said, contested the March 18 governorship election in Niger State on its platform.

He regretted that the Foundation wasn’t able to extend the facilitation of international recognition which Eno enjoyed to Kantigi as was not aware the Niger State candidate was contesting.

The Foundation expressed satisfaction at the level of inclusiveness given by the PDP to women and persons with disabilities, and enjoined other parties to emulate the main opposition party.

Earlier, the PDP Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Damagum said as a deliberate policy, the party gives opportunity to PWDs in all its activities, and pledged the Party’s preparedness to do more.

The PDP stated that if Tinubu is desirous of fighting corruption, he should publicly and personally address Nigerians, “on the numerous allegations of corruption, including the Alpha Beta cases and alleged improper acquisition and conversion of Lagos State Government landed properties worth billions of naira to himself, family, associates and cronies.”
