 A quest to ensure inclusiveness of all electorates in the forthcoming 2023 general elections, persons living with disabilities in civil society organizations in Kaduna state, want the federal government and INEC to ensure the provisions of electoral materials for disabled at various polling units across the country. The physically challenged said provisions of a drill for the blind interpreters for hearing impaired persons and special place for the disabled was key if the PWDs were to exercise their civic rights and responsibilities as citizens of the nation. Plus, the new correspondent, Habila Darofi, filed in this report. Speaking in Kaduna state, one of the physically challenged persons, Comrade Samson David, says the new modern machine deployed by INEC will curb rigging and multiple voting noting that it will include people living with disabilities to elect leaders of their choice. Samson stated that the 35 million disabled voters in Nigeria will participate fully if the electoral body makes adequate provisions for them in polling units. I've done now. It will help us in getting our right candidate because too much of voting and too much of term printing and all this with this voter, I believe this will not count. It will really, really help our people. At least for the first time what people cast in their vote is what they'll get. Also, they commend the Electoral Empire and federal government for inclusion of PWDs while calling on all Nigerians not to underrate persons with disabilities in society, but treat them as special people that need to be heard. The preparation they are making toward considering the people with disabilities and women, in fact, is a very, very good idea. And if they put it into action according to what they said, in fact, this country will progress and peace will continue to reign. However, a hearing impaired person, Dorothy Jetao, says there is need for INEC to provide interpreters for the deaf and brills for the blind. The stress that the time for buying their votes for Maggie, rappers and 1000 Naira has gone, noting that it's time for them to prove to the world that there is ability in disabilities. They should make sure that all people with disabilities have free access during the election. Somebody will physically challenge, let there be free access for movement. People like me that are deaf, let there be interpreters so that people will not die and deceive to vote people who don't want to vote. No one that can come and say for me because I will not accept that they were the deciversed before we are today. We are so foreign and I do not accept it because it's for continue collecting, collecting, collecting, we continue collecting. That is how we continue living with this so far.
