The recent publication by Sahara Reporters, titled “EXCLUSIVE: Adamawa Governor Fintiri Budgets N2.3billion To Build Deputy Gov’s Lodge In Abuja, Yola, Gives N472million To Primary Healthcare” is a gross misrepresentation of facts and a clear attempt to mislead the public. Sahara Reporters, notorious for their desperation to spread misinformation and claptrap lies, have once again demonstrated their expertise in propagating falsehoods.

This sponsored write-up is a product of political mischief, engineered by other politicians and mindless jobbers seeking cheap popularity by undermining the good governance of Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri in Adamawa State. Their intention is to discredit the government’s efforts towards development and progress.

Sahara Reporters are mere paid agents for notable blackmailers who demand bribes and label unwilling subscribers. This report is a clear example of their modus operandi, aimed at tarnishing the well-articulated projects of the Adamawa State Government. Their actions are driven by envy and a desire to undermine the government’s achievements.

The Adamawa State Government categorically denies the allegations made in the report, which are based on illegally obtained classified documents. The report’s claims about the budget for the deputy governor’s lodge in Abuja and Yola are entirely false. The government followed due process in allocating funds for projects, and all expenditures were duly verified.

We urge the public to disregard the report and its misleading narrative. The Adamawa State Government remains committed to transparency and accountability, and we will continue to deliver on our promises to the people.

Counter Narrative:

• The Adamawa State Government has prioritized development projects, including provision of water facilities (N1.7 billion), infrastructure (N3.5 billion), and rehabilitation of public schools (N2.2 billion).
• The government has also allocated funds for critical sectors like Primary Healthcare (N472 million) and water resources (N1.6 billion).
• The report’s claims about the deputy governor’s lodge are unfounded and mischievous.
• The government will continue to work towards the betterment of Adamawa State, despite attempts to distract and mislead.

We call on Sahara Reporters to retract the false report and apologize for their unprofessional conduct. Their actions are a disservice to journalism and a betrayal of the public’s trust.
