People with Disabilities, PWD, have been advised not to support the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming 2023 presidential election by PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar (GCON).
Speaking at the PDP’s People With Disabilities National Campaign Council’s inauguration, the former vice president claimed that the APC had failed to put the law protecting people with disabilities into effect despite the bill’s passage by the National Assembly.

“APC has refused to implement the PWD law and you have no reason to vote APC again. I really want you to identify your membership and tell them to vote for a party that has recognized you and has given them a special place which is PDP.
“Let me congratulate you on your inauguration into our presidential campaign council as well as the celebration of World Disability Day. You contribute your own quota to the economy and we in the PDP recognize you and that is why we have given you a special place in our party’s constitution and campaign council.
“Some persons have said the number of persons with disability in Nigeria is 19million, 20 million or 25 million, but let’s assume you are 20million. If we get all of you to vote for us, we don’t need others then. So really, you are important to us.”
