Samson Deen wrote in the letter:
“Dear Paralympic Family,
The year 2024 has been remarkable, characterized by mixed feelings – excitement and anxiety; notwithstanding, we have every cause to be grateful to God for how far he has brought us. I sincerely appreciate your selfless support and devotion to the cause of our continent.
The events at the Paris 2024 Paralympics are unforgettable. The demonstrable friendship at the September 3 Dinner and Gala Night event, coupled with the grand performance and podium achievements of our athletes at the Paris 2024 Games, are not only remarkable and cannot be overlooked but also worthy of celebrating. For this, the AfPC Board salutes you, our committed and dedicated headship, as well as our gallant athletes, for making Africa proud.
The new season, 2025, will be characterized by many activities, namely the President’s Zonal visits and engagements, the IPC General Assembly, and the AfPC General Assembly (GA).
As we celebrate this year’s achievements, let’s prepare for the exciting and glorious new year. With devotion, unity, and understanding, we shall surmount any unexpected challenges.
On behalf of the AfPC Board, I wish you the best season and God’s blessings.”
