Yola – The Adamawa Chairman of Deaf Awareness Group (DAG), Malam Liman Adamu, has appealed to Gov. Muhammadu Jibrilla, to honour his campaign promise to the group.

“We mobilised money and printed campaign posters and T-shirts as well as followed the governor’s campaign team round the state.
“He assured us that if he won, we will be carried along, but more than one year now we are still waiting,” Adamu said.
