Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, has dismissed reports that he is one of the top politicians jostling for the position of the Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He described the report as a fabrication meant to distract him from the key responsibilities placed on him by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Reacting to the publication, Akume said via a statement issued by spokesman, Yomi Ọdịnihu, that: “I am not in a hurry to abdicate my responsibility and the task that the President of the Federal Republic has placed before me. I am a firm believer in the principle that whatever God plans for you will surely come to pass.So I can’t be in a race that I am not interested in.
“Everything that I have been in life has been given to me by the Almighty God through the instrumentality of people including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. To say that I am one of the prominent politicians gunning for the position of the APC Chairman is completely false because I am in the process of ensuring that the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President and the government is realised so that Nigerians can enjoy the true dividends of democracy that they crave for.
“We are working day and night to deliver on these promises under the supervision of the President and we are totally committed to this”.
