It’s common occurrence here and there to see Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) throwing thorny stones against certain members of the society for what they often perceived as a deliberate discrimination and unjustified exclusion in political participation.

In this piece, INN correspondent examines the various political journeys and accomplishment achieved by the young, vibrant and courageous politician of note.

Comrade Musa Inuwa was born to the family of late Alhaji Muhammad Inuwa Ishaq (Dan Darman Zazzau Suleja) in Suleja local government, Niger state. He lost his hearing ability in the year 2010 due to protracted illness. This misfortune, however, did not hinder him from obtaining quality education as he battled from front to front to ensure he obtains an NCE certificate in Special Education from the prostigious Federral College of Education (special), Oyo.

Since then he has rose to become the current National Disabled Leader of APC under the aegis of APC National Youth Ambassadors. As if that was not enough, he also held countless positions on PWD affairs from various political associations and network across the country.

Due to his myriads of contributions in mobilizing the youth for APC that lead to it’s resounding victories in Niger state in particular, and the country at large, especially the youth with disabilities, he was recently rewarded for his countless service to the ruling party’s excellent performance by a political group known as ‘Coalition of Zone B APC Youth’ under the chairmanship of Comrade Jameelu Saleehu.

He also told INN correspondent in a telephone chat that the Coalition of Zone B APC Youth as a political association does its inclusion by welcoming PWD to contribute their political ideas and strategies. I very much appreciate and thank the members for giving me a huge love and cooperation.

” I cannot believe that I deserve such enviable award standing out of many other members but I accept it as it recognises my contributions and inspires me to work harder to fulfill the aim and purpose journey. This will surely inspire other PWD to participate in politics to balance the equality in the society and also inculcate politicians and top public officers to open their arm welcoming PWD in politics and be aware that PWD can contribute largely to the society in term of economic, education and politics. This is to authenticate the well known phrase that “there’s ability in disability”.
