The All Progressives Congress has called for increased support and inclusion for Persons with Disabilities across Nigeria as it distributed cash and food items to hundreds of beneficiaries in Abuja. The beneficiaries, drawn from various disability clusters across the Federal Capital Territory and surrounding communities, received the assistance during an event held at the APC National Secretariat on Tuesday. The initiative, according to a statement on Wednesday by the APC National Leader of Persons with Disabilities, Tolu Bankole, was aimed at supporting vulnerable members of society while promoting greater participation of PWDs in political and national development. Speaking on behalf of the APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, his Principal Private Secretary, Jibrin Bancir, welcomed the beneficiaries and reaffirmed the party’s commitment to disability inclusion. “I’m standing here on behalf of the National Chairman to appreciate you and welcome you to the APC National Secretariat,” Bancir said. He noted that the party was determined to ensure that persons with disabilities benefit from its programmes and policies. “The little the APC National Leader of Persons with Disabilities, Aare Hon. Tolu Bankole, is doing, the National Chairman is backing him so that more PWDs will see the benefit of being members of APC. This is a party you belong to, and you are aware of what our President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is doing to advance the cause of our country. “I want all of you to remain firm and believe in what APC is doing as a country and to all of you,” he stated.
