2027: Katsina PWDs endorse Tinubu

The endorsement was announced on Monday in Katsina during a meeting involving the association’s leadership, members and the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Alhaji Muttaqa Rabe-Darma.

The association said its decision was in recognition of the minister’s support and interventions aimed at improving the welfare of persons with disabilities.

The Sarkin Makafin Katsina, Alhaji Garba Muhammad-Nahuta, praised Rabe-Darma for his contributions to the well-being of the community.

Muhammad-Nahuta pledged that members would reciprocate the minister’s gestures by voting for Tinubu, Radda and other APC candidates in the 2027 elections.

He also called on other political appointees to follow the minister’s example by extending assistance to vulnerable members of society.

Similarly, the APC Northwest Representative of Persons with Disabilities, Dahiru Gambo, said members had obtained their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and were ready to participate in the elections.

He, however, appealed to governments and individuals to do more to address the challenges facing persons with disabilities.

The Chairman of the Physically-Challenged Persons Association in Katsina State also declared support for Tinubu’s re-election, arguing that a second term would enable the president to consolidate his administration’s policies and programmes.

Speaking on behalf of the minister, Prof. Mukhtar Elkasim thanked the association for its support for Tinubu and Radda.

Elkasim also announced a welfare package for members who attended the meeting, describing the gesture as part of the minister’s commitment to improving their well-being.

In his remarks, the Director-General of Grassroots Mobilisation for Tinubu/Dikko 2027, Abubakar Tsanni, described persons with disabilities as trustworthy and dependable members of society.

Tsanni recalled their support and cooperation during his tenure as Chairman of Batagarawa Local Government Council in 2019, adding that their contributions remained memorable.

Also speaking, Dr Samaila Balarabe, a member of the campaign team, said the achievements of the Tinubu and Radda administrations justified their re-election in 2027.

He acknowledged that no government could resolve all societal challenges within a single term but maintained that both administrations had recorded significant progress.

The meeting also provided an opportunity for association members to appeal for sustained assistance, improved welfare and greater inclusion in government programmes.10 Headline Suggestions
