TQM report,
Can someone please explain why an option for Disability is not included in the APC Membership Registration Form but yet we have Representatives at various levels?
That is the question asked by Comrade Offiong Okon, Protem Secretary, States Special (Physically Challenged) Leaders’ Forum, All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria.
“This is a clear summary and outcome of the improvident tendencies of our Leaderships at various levels. Or should I say that our greed and egocentric tendencies on NGOs and NCPWD affairs neglecting the base that would be a determining factor for our future political emancipation” he added.
He said that he is compelled and bold to submit that Leadership at all levels of persons with disabilities have completely failed if the forthcoming NATIONWIDE MEMBERSHIP REGISTRATION/ REVALIDATION OF MEMBERSHIP OF THE ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS is carried out without an option for PWDs especially now that PMB is on authority then we should forget about agitating for political inclusion for Nothing for Us without Us.
“We should place this at the back of our mind politics is a game of interest and as well NUMBERS. The failure for the non-inclusion of an option for PwDs is deliberate attempt to deny us data to determine our membership strength” he suggested.
He called on our National Leader/ES, Executive Chairman of NCPWD and Alhaji Issa Abba, SA on Disability Matters to Yobe State Governor who is the National Chairman of our dear Party to rise up and act accordingly.
