The Movement spokesman, a Computer Graduate from The Polythecnic of Ibadan, who is from Ibadan North Local Government ward 8, noted that by creating Ministry for the Physically Challenged People in the State will go a long way to address various issues affecting the disables in the State.
Hear him, ‘We have over five hundred thousand people living with disabilitles in Oyo State, although we may be physically challenge but we are very brilliant in terms of ideas, and I can say that anybody can become disables at any giving time in life, so we need a Ministry that will be responsible for our well-being’.
“Although we have been giving office of the Special Assistant to Governor on Disable matters, but this office seems to be a personal political emoluments which has a limited functions, but if the incoming Governor can create a Ministry for the disables, this will go a long way in solving our numerous issues’.
‘We have in our midst some vibrant minds that are even capable more than the able people in our society, for instance the likes of Barrister Adekanmbi who is a blind man but with a sound heart, though he is disable but very intellectual, he studied law at the International University.”
Penpushing further reports that,he pointed out that all the disable in the State have once been paired with the Ministry of Women Affairs but have on several occasions been denied of their rights from the Ministry just because they said the Ministry belongs to only Women that are able.
“We have in our midst the people that are into Sports, Education, Music and Entertainment but we don’t have people that can support us or our ambitions, though we are disables but that does not mean that we are inability to do a lot of things that can make life more meaningful to the society.”
The body imagemaker, however, reiterated that creating Ministry for physically challenged people in the new administration in Oyo State will help the disabilities to showcase their talents to the world at large through various programme that they will engage on, if the Ministry is eventually created.
“The incoming Governor should note that we all cast our votes for him just because we knew that he is a kind heart person, and he will be the first Governor to do such, and i can guarantee him of our bulk votes anytime.”
