An umbrella of People With Disabilities (PWD) under the auspices of Northern Nigeria Disability Forum (NNDF), has threatened to take legal action against President Bola Tinubu over their non-inclusion in ministerial and political appointments in the new administration.
The Forum which made the threat at a press conference in Abuja on Sunday, said it would approach the court to invoke a law signed by former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2018 which stipulates that five per cent of all political appointments should be allocated to persons with disabilities.
The National Chairman of the Forum, Yerima Suleiman, who spoke at the press parley, said the decision to approach the court was to ensure their constitutional rights are upheld.
