President Bola Tinubu has named the immediate-past Minister of Special Duties and former Governor of Benue State, Senator George Akume as the new Secretary to the Government of Federation (SGF).
Gatekeepers News reports that a reliable source who confirmed the appointment on Thursday said an official statement will be made available soon.
There are speculations that Akume’s appointment was to pacify the North Central zone ahead of the race for leadership of the National Assembly.
Akume, who is the President’s long-time ally, has demonstrated friendship with Tinubu by providing the desired support to nurture, shape and advance progressive politics in Nigeria.
He is an alumnus of the Nigerian premier university, the University of Ibadan.
This is a developing story.
