During the visit, Hon. Akindele expressed appreciation for the PWDs' participation in democratic processes, particularly during the general elections. "I appreciate your visit. We also thank God that we didn’t lose Lagos State to the opposition in 2023. Therefore, in the name of our President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I say thank you. Despite your status, you came out during the elections and cast your votes," she said.
Hon. Akindele reaffirmed her commitment to building an inclusive government that represents every segment of the community. "They say there’s ability in disability. At the state level of our party, the APC, one of your members is already serving on the state executive council. I want to assure you that our administration will appoint a representative from your group to work closely with you," she pledged.
Her running mate, Hon. (Prince) Akintola Falade JP, emphasized the need for government to prioritize the welfare of all citizens, regardless of their physical condition. "Governance is about welfarism. Infrastructure, health, and education are essential, but if we ignore the welfare of our people, everything else falls short. That is why our in-coming administration will be committed to making the welfare of all residents, regardless of status, our top priority," he said.
Comrade Sanni Oluwafunmilayo, Chairperson of the PWD group in Mosan-Okunola LCDA, expressed appreciation for the promises made by the candidates. "The inclusive government you have promised is exactly what we need. It is very important to us. We also want to be part of your campaign team," she said.
Hon. Akindele urged the PWDs to remain politically active and begin sensitizing their members in preparation for the 2027 general elections. "Our target is 2027.

Olufemi Odeyemi, Lagos
The Coalition of Progressive Frontliners (CPF) has commended the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership for the peaceful conduct of the recent local government chairmanship primaries in Lagos State. The primaries, held at the Lagos APC State Secretariat, adopted a centralized, indirect system, which the CPF credited with curbing excesses and protecting party members' lives.
CPF National Coordinator, Comrade Ibrahim Akinlade, speaking at a press conference held in Lagos recently, stated that the decision to adopt the centralized system was wise, preventing violence and promoting internal democracy. He praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the National Chairman, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and the Lagos APC GAC for their roles in ensuring a peaceful process.
Despite some aspirants protesting alleged manipulation, the CPF urged them to follow due process through party channels. "We must not destroy what we have labored to build over temporary political disappointments," Akinlade said, emphasizing the importance of peace and discipline within the party.
India and Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire, easing tensions between the two nations. The United States and China have also reached a trade deal, with both countries agreeing to reduce tariffs by 114%. Additionally, the Kurdish military group PKK has announced plans to disband after 40 years of fighting with Turkey.
Furthermore, the United States and Iran have committed to finding ways to resolve their differences, and European leaders have delivered a ultimatum to Russia, prompting President Putin to offer a face-to-face meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky.
While some may attribute these developments to the Pope's plea, others see it as a remarkable coincidence. Regardless of the reason, these breakthroughs bring hope for a more peaceful world.
