Physically-Challenged Lawmaker Emerges Adamawa Assembly Speaker
Rt Hon Bathiya Wesley, a physically-challenged lawmaker, has emerged as the Speaker of the 8th Assembly of Adamawa State.
Bathiya, who is among the people Living with Disability (PWD), won the keenly contested election after consulting critical stakeholders and lobbying his fellow lawmakers.
In a conversation with newsmen after his swearing-in, Bathiya, who represents Hong Constituency, said he is a child of Destiny and has never regarded himself as physically challenged.
According to him, disability is a mindset syndrome, and if one sees oneself as one, they remain like that until one dies without impacting their world.
