Second Term: We Want To Be Part Of Your Govt, Persons Living With Disability Tell Buhari
Persons Living With Disability Initiative has called for the inclusion of its members in the second term of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
Augustine Onwuamaegbu, the National President of the association told the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Abuja that members of the association should be considered in the new government.
He said that persons living with disability were not appointed in the first term of Buhari’s administration, saying that this did not allow them to have someone who could relate with their feelings.

Onwuamaegbu called on President Buhari to see to their plights and appoint someone who would be able to communicate their challenges to him.
He said just as women were fighting for 35 per cent inclusion in governance, people living with disability should also not be forgotten as they all had a stake in the country.
The PLWDI boss said that it would take only those who understood their feelings, needs, and situations in the government of Buhari to make appropriate policies that would have a direct bearing on them.
