INTRODUCING THE POLITICAL MESSI: GEORGE AKUME, THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FEDERATION:
In a momentous announcement that reverberated through the corridors of power, George Akume, a seasoned politician and a prominent figure in Nigerian politics, has been appointed as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF). This prestigious position marks yet another milestone in the illustrious career of a man whose dedication and commitment to public service have earned him widespread respect and admiration.
Hailing from the vibrant state of Benue, George Akume has long been a towering figure in Nigerian politics. His journey began in 1999 when he assumed the mantle of leadership as the Governor of Benue state, a role he flawlessly executed until 2007. During his tenure as Governor, Akume exhibited exceptional leadership skills, implementing progressive policies and championing the cause of his people with unwavering determination.
After successfully serving as Governor, Akume transitioned seamlessly into the federal political landscape, where he continued to make his mark. From 2007 to 2019, he represented Benue North-West Senatorial District as a senator, emerging as a strong voice for his constituents and a respected advocate for good governance. Akume's experience and expertise were invaluable assets as he played an active role in shaping legislation and policy decisions that shaped the nation.
Recognizing his exceptional talents and vast experience, in 2019, former President Muhammadu Buhari appointed George Akume as the Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs. In this capacity, he exhibited a remarkable ability to navigate the complexities of intergovernmental relations and foster collaboration among various stakeholders, all while remaining steadfast in his commitment to the welfare of the Nigerian people.
Today, George Akume stands before us as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, a role that holds immense responsibility and influence. His appointment as the SGF is a testament to his sterling track record and his unwavering dedication to the service of his nation. Often referred to as the "Dajoh 1 of Africa" and the "Gande Chihi u Tiv," as I termed him. Akume has also earned another nickname from me as the Political Messi, for his ability to navigate the intricate and challenging realm of politics with finesse and skill.
As the SGF, George Akume will undoubtedly bring his wealth of experience, astute leadership, and unwavering commitment to bear on the task at hand. His appointment heralds a new chapter in Nigeria's political landscape, one that is sure to be marked by progress, efficiency, and a relentless pursuit of the greater good.
