By Emmanuel Kwada

Barr. Hon. Umar Ismaila Daware, the esteemed representative of Fofure Constituency in the Adamawa State House of Assembly and a distinguished legal adviser to Tgnews, has issued a strong condemnation of a misleading report by Rariya Online. The report falsely claimed that he distributed 200 packages of detergents to his constituents in Fofure.

In a fiery statement, Barr. Daware categorically refuted the allegations, describing them as the work of “mischief makers and politicians” attempting to trivialize his genuine efforts to uplift his constituents. He clarified that no such distribution took place in Yola or elsewhere in his name, nor did he or his political aides issue any instructions for such an activity.

I have never engaged in such an act, and I completely distance myself from this baseless claim

“I have never engaged in such an act, and I completely distance myself from this baseless claim,” Barr. Daware declared. “My commitment to the people of Fofure is evident in my tangible empowerment initiatives, including providing agricultural implements, vehicles, tricycles, and training programs for women to foster self-reliance.”

The lawmaker, known for his people-oriented bills and resolutions in the State Assembly, emphasized that his empowerment programs are designed to have a meaningful impact, not to distribute token items like “200 Naira detergents” as alleged. He expressed dismay at the attempt to undermine his reputation and warned media outlets to verify information before publishing to avoid legal consequences.

“I urge media handlers to exercise due diligence and verify facts before going to press. Spreading unverified claims may attract legal redress,” he cautioned.

Barr. Daware reaffirmed his dedication to the development of Fofure, citing his track record of impactful projects and legislative efforts aimed at improving the lives of his constituents. He called on the public to disregard the false report and focus on his ongoing work to empower the people of Fofure through sustainable initiatives.
