The Centre for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) has described as incomprehensible the non-inclusion of persons with disabilities

in the leadership positions of the Peoples Democratic Party in its just-concluded convention in Abuja.

According to Anyaele, the development was a sad reminder of the pains and agony the party caused the disability community during their 16-year reign at the centre. He explained that the then Bill, now an Act, provided for the full integration of persons with disabilities into society, established the National Commission for their education, health care, social, economic and civil rights, among others.

“We are calling on PDP leadership to take appropriate measures to implement section 30 of the Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities Act 2018. The session provides for the full inclusion of citizens with disabilities in the party elective positions.
