The Presidency has finally addressed and dismissed reports claiming that Senator George Akume has been replaced as Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
It described the information as false and misleading.
A statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, reaffirmed that Akume remains in his position.
“There has been no change in the status of His Excellency, Senator George Akume, as Secretary to the Government of the Federation,” the statement said.
It further clarified that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is currently in Saint Lucia, has not made any new appointments.
Describing the rumours as the work of “agents of mischief,” the Presidency urged Nigerians to disregard what it called “fake news.”
