For years now, the Deaf Community have been facing a number of challenges, ranging from bad leadership as a result of incompetence, selfishness, ethnicity, regionalism and religious sentiment which is the backbone of our backwardness because we hardly come together to support the right men for the Job. We vote based on religion,region and ethnicity and unfortunately those we voted for hardly do anything to even their ethnic or religious group let alone the majority. Is this not enough lesson for us to learn and vote people with ideas and ability to deliver? People who can sacrifice their times, money and resources to move our Dear Association forward. People who can promote/ protect the rights,welfare and interest of our members at the National level?
2015 General election should be enough lesson for many of us to learn, because the same people who use religion and regional sentiment to ensure Buhari’s victory against GEJ are now the same people complaining that Buhari neglected the North in favour of the southwest and bla bla… This alone is enough lesson for us to learn. When we vote for people like Hon Chidi/Haruna who are detribalized Nigerian, competent, knowledgeable and most importantly who work with the Federal government and international community, I bet you, a lot of opportunities will come our way.
The Hon.Chidi I know will not only use his personal money to develop and resolve some of the challenges facing NNAD but he will also bring a lot of International partners to support the progress of NNAD.
Haruna Tsafe on the other hand, being close to the FG ,working and bases in Abuja, Nigeria is a big plus, whenever NNAD’s attention is urgently needed, he can represent us without delay.
Likewise Mr Muntari Magaji who is working with SGF, the aspirant for the post of Public Relation Officer. We need people very close to the FG and international community that can bring a lot of opportunities to our Dear Association and I think Hon Chidi Topaz Olujie, Haruna Tsafe Muntari Magaji, Suleiman Ujah et al are the way out.
