AKUME HOLDS FIRM: NO SHUFFLE AT THE SGF DESK!
In a swift rebuttal to swirling rumours, the Presidency has confirmed that Senator George Akume remains the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF). Despite whispers of a shake-up, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, currently away in Saint Lucia, has made no new appointments, firmly shutting down the gossip mill.
The buzz about Akume’s replacement? Pure fiction cooked up by mischief-makers, according to the official statement from Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy. Nigerians are advised to ignore the fake news and stay tuned for facts only.
For context, George Akume is no stranger to the Nigerian political arena. A seasoned politician born in 1953, he has served as Benue State Governor, Senator, Minister of Special Duties, and was appointed SGF by President Tinubu in June 2023. His steady hand continues to steer the engine room of government policy and coordination.
So, breathe easy—Akume’s chair at the SGF office is as occupied as ever.
