Accord Governorship candidate in Rivers State, Dumo Lulu-Briggs has promised to set up a government that will accommodate the aspirations of all, including the physically challenged in the state.
Dumo, said this when he visited residents of 75 Bendel street in Old PH Township, whose properties were gutted by fire due to a gas explosion on Saturday.
He revealed that Chairman of the physically challenged group in Rivers State, alerted him of the situation, adding that he was really heartbroken over the incident.
His statement reads,
Life is an unpredictable voyage. And sometimes it throws before us circumstances which will shake the foundations of our courage to keep pushing. This was the case of the residents of 75 Bendel Street in Port Harcourt town whose properties were consumed by a gas fire outbreak on Saturday 4th March, 2023.
I got called by the Chairman of the physically challenged group in Rivers State, and his case was real desolation. I was really heartbroken when I saw their situation, and this made me think about how alone these ones feel at times like this. We should be able to have a society that takes care of people who live in the shadows of life, and I am sincerely glad that I was called upon to intervene.
I look forward to setting up a government that will accommodate the aspirations of all, even the physically challenged, and the gestures I have made is proof of my position. I pray that we all stand with the physically challenged groups as I have chosen to, and we all should remain our brother’s keeper. Rivers state deserve to be one big family, its our collective responsibility to forge that state we so desire.
