Akume in a sentence

Alia and Akume have been in a running show of force over the control of the Benue APC, with Agada leading the Akume’s faction while Benjamin Omakolo is the acting chairman of the Alia faction.

Akume made this statement at the Nigerian Navy’s Ceremonial Sunset and Awards Night 2023, held in Abuja on Friday.

And yet again, Akume who is the incumbent Minister for Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs picked and offered him the APC platform to actualize his ambition.

But Senator George Akume approached and convinced him to join the race with the assurance of giving him the ticket to run under the ruling party, APC.

Dignitaries who attended the event include: SFG, Sen. George Akume, Governors and representatives of Borno, Yobe, Taraba, Gombe, Adamawa and Bauchi states, Alh.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made his feelings known in a tweet on his X handle posted along with his photographs during a meeting with Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) George Akume.

Represented by the Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Mr George Akume, Buhari commended TEtFund Executive Secretary, Mr Sonny Echono and his team for the efforts in effectively discharging the mandate of the fund.

That’s where Sen. (Dr.) George Akume comes into the picture.

This battle too, he lost as Akume was shortly appointed a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

This may explain why Akume’s nomination is being celebrated across party lines in the region; a clear indication that the entire region is pleased with, expectedly, Benue State being the epicenter.

According to Akume, the celebration should affords us the opportunity to reflect on the contributions and sacrifices of our national heroes and heroines who fought for the entrenchment of democratic rule in our dear country.

After completing his eight-year tenure as governor from 1999 to 2007, Akume was pivotal in Gabriel Suswam’s rise to the governorship of Benue State.

Akume said with the right leadership, the coalition is optimistic that the private energy sector can significantly contribute to the government’s objectives of achieving energy security, economic diversification, and sustainable development.

During his address, the SGF, Akume, highlighted the administration’s ambitious agenda aimed at economic revitalization, social inclusion, and infrastructural development.

It smacks of lack of standard for Alia, a beneficiary of the generousity of the Akume political family, to turn round and start demonising the group.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the service honored notable figures with the Knights of John Wesley award, including Obasanjo, Gowon, Tinubu, and his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, Goodluck Jonathan, George Akume, and Godswill Akpabio.

Dr George Akume, Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, made this known on Friday at the interactive he had with stakeholders of cooperative societies in Nigeria, at his office in Abuja.

Hassan, who is also the Zonal Chairman, APC Benue South Senatorial District, used the occasion to appeal to Akume to use his office to influence more government presence and appointment of people from the region into government’s positions.

The party pointed out that the absence of Senator George Akume, the APC leader in Benue state, was suspicious.

The two roads are Terwase Agbadu -Yaikyo/Apir, Customary Court of Appeal through Logo 1 to George Akume Way and Atoato Igirgi street.
