DR. ISHAYA INUWA DURKWA DID NOT STEP DOWN TO SEN. ISHAKU ABBO
CLARIFICATION:
POLITICS HAS NOT EVEN BEGUN; DR. DURKWA HAS NOT “CLIMBED” ANYTHING, LET ALONE STEPPED DOWN FOR SENATOR ABBO.
We wish to categorically refute the misleading claims circulating regarding Dr. Ishaya Inuwa Durkwa. These rumors, accompanied by a picture of Dr. Durkwa and Senator Ishaku Abbo exchanging pleasantries, falsely allege that Dr. Durkwa has stepped down for Senator Abbo after a supposed closed-door meeting. These claims are baseless, unfounded, and entirely false. Here are the facts:
1. Election season has not commenced.
The suggestion that Dr. Durkwa has stepped down for Senator Abbo is premature, speculative, and completely untrue. It is a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and create unnecessary confusion.
2. Dr. Durkwa and Senator Abbo met for the first time on January 18, 2025.
This meeting occurred during the Gongola People’s Forum (GPF) gathering at Duragi Hotel, Yola. The GPF is a recognized platform that unites Adamawa’s sons and daughters across political and religious lines. Both Dr. Durkwa and Senator Abbo were invited, along with many other prominent figures.
3. No closed-door meeting took place.
There was no private or secret meeting between Dr. Durkwa and Senator Abbo. Their interaction at the GPF event was limited to a brief, cordial exchange of pleasantries—standard practice in such gatherings.
4. Dr. Durkwa attended an open, non-political event.
Dr. Durkwa honored the GPF’s open invitation in good faith. His presence at the forum was unrelated to any political agreements or negotiations. The event was solely focused on fostering unity and dialogue among Adamawa citizens.
We urge the public to disregard these baseless claims and rely on verified information. False narratives like these only serve to misinform and distract from constructive discourse.
