INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES: SENATOR IFEANYI UBAH URGES RELEVANT AUTHORITIES TO AVOID DISCRIMINATION IN EXCECUTION OF POLICIES AND PROGRAMMES.

...as he reassures victims of continuous support.

As the world celebrate with persons living with various forms of disability, the Senator representing Anambra South and Candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) for the 2023 Anambra South Senatorial Election, Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah on Saturday, called on relevant authorities to always carry victims of disability along in the execution of their policies and programmes. Senator Ubah made the appeal while hosting his constituents living with various forms of disability at his Umuanuka Otolo Nnewi residence. According to him, government and other institutions should avoid all forms of discrimination during their process of recruitment, promotion and policy implementation. Senator Ubah further maintained that there is always ability in disability and that what victims mostly need are continuous support and encouragement.

Senator Ubah further urged victims of disability to always remain focused and disciplined because such will enable them to achieve their life ambitions. He also reassured them that his office will continue to carry them along in the course of representation and will always provide them with necessary supports. The Anambra South Senator later presented special gifts like wheel chairs, crutches, sewing machines, electric grinders and other electrical appliances to the visitors and prayed God to continue to bless them with more grace, mercies and divine protection.

Speaking shortly at the event, some of the visitors appreciated Senator Ubah for always standing with them and for always providing various forms of encouragement for them. They further maintained that Senator Ubah has been providing them with special gifts like wheel chairs and crutches for years and has also dedicated his previous birthday to persons living with disabilities, an action they described as uncommon among the political class. They also prayed God to grant more grace, wisdom and protection upon the Senator and reassured him of continuous prayers.

Presenting the vote of thanks on behalf of the visitors, Hon. Amobi Okonkwo (Anunuebe Nnewi) described Senator Ubah as a special creature whose selflessness and philanthropy are second to none. Hon. Okonkwo who was appointed a Senior Special Assistant on Persons Living with Disabilities by Senator Ubah further disclosed that apart from being recognised by the Senator’s office, the Senator has relentlessly provided supports for his colleagues. He prayed God to continually bless and protect the Senator and reassured him of continuous prayers and support.
