Gatekeepers News reports that Akume announced that he would retire from politics at the end of his tenure as SGF, citing his age as a factor.
The former Governor of Benue State clarified Tuesday while speaking at the colloquium/symposium organised to mark his 70th birthday anniversary celebration in Makurdi.
“I have no ambition to run for election again,” Akume said in reaction to an earlier speech by a former Governor of Jigawa State, Ibrahim Turaki.
“In 2031, I will be 78, no more. I have been a two-term Governor, Senator for two terms, Minister, and now Secretary to the Government of the Federation; So no more.”
The SGF thanked President Bola Tinubu for appointing him and assured that the Tinubu-led administration would make a profound difference in the lives of Nigerians.
