The engagement convened members of the disability community, party stakeholders, and supporters. The forum provided a platform to discuss pressing challenges affecting persons with disabilities and to explore practical solutions for improving their welfare and participation in public life.
Speaking on behalf of the speech-impaired community, Mr. Saliu Luqman highlighted key concerns, with special emphasis on widows and unemployed individuals within the disability bloc. He called for targeted empowerment programmes, stronger support structures for vulnerable groups, and sustained government intervention to improve living conditions.

He cautioned against underestimating political opposition and stressed the importance of early preparation for 2027. Engr. Sheu assured attendees that his political aspirations would be guided by honesty and realistic commitments.
