The Presidency has punctured the viral story that suggested that the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Senator George Akume, had been appointed as National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
A release issued Saturday night by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, rubbishes the report, declaring that there has been no change in the structure and complexion of government.
Below is the Presidency’s statement:
There has been no change in the status of His Excellency, Senator George Akume, as Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, currently in Saint Lucia, has not made any new appointments.
The information circulating about Akume’s replacement is untrue. Agents of mischief fabricated it.
The Presidency advises Nigerians to disregard the fake news.
