A visually impaired man, and member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, Yinka Ibidunni, yesterday officially announced his intention to contest against Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello for the Ogun Central Senatorial District in the forthcoming 2011 polls.


Mr Ibidunmi, a known critic of the state Governor, Gbenga Daniel, before he was appointed as Special Adviser on Physically Challenged People, made this known in Abeokuta. Declaring his senatorial ambition at his campaign office, located in Kugba area of the town, Mr Ibidunni who is eyeing the seat for the third time, said his ambition is to create positive effect and influence in people's life. "I want to ensure that people enjoy the dividend of democracy, and doing this is for the electorates to vote the right persons into political offices, in the next dispensation, in which I am qualified," he said.

"I am not ready to give a kobo to any delegate before getting the party slot, nor will I part away with any money as condition for the electorate to vote for me," he said. "But what I will say is that, let us put the right person in right position." The aspirant assured the electorate that if voted in as senator, he would be transparent and spend his constituency allowances judiciously. "Let us put the right driver in the right driving seat," he said.

iz2much:

what fully fledged man cant do

What do you mean by fully fledge man? Does this disability affected his power of reasoning or his mental faculty in anyway? David Blunkett was British Home Secretary (one the most powerful cabinet office in the British politics) for 5 years, and he was blinded from birth.

go man i am with you

thanks you for this man

I wish him the BEST. His physical condition should not discourage him. What have the more physically perfect morons done yet to prove that their physical state is of any advantage in terms doing their job.
