An associate professor of Systematic Theology and director, National Open University of Nigeria, Jos Study Centre, Philip Tachin has said that Dr George Akume as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), will bring his wealth of experience to add value to President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Tachin who stated this in an interview commended the North Central governors for organising an event to honour their son, for his elevation describing the gesture as a great testimony to his towering figure in the political history of Nigeria.
He also applauded Akume for his boldness and leadership vision saying, “you are a rare gem in the country’s history, and I want to thank you for your courage of defending the interests of the people at all times”
The former executive chairman, Benue Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), noted that Akume means different things to different people but certain attributes that made him stand out are his humility, approachability, compassion, respectfulness and generosity, which have set him tall from many others in the political field and personal relationship.
“Senator Akume is well known to many Nigerians with so many outstanding qualities that made him stand out at every given time and at the same time set him apart from many others in the political field and personal relationship,” he added.
The All Progressive Congress (APC) chieftain explained that the beautiful ceremony that the leaders of the North Central Governors organised in his honour on August 18 was a great testimony to his towering figure in the political history of Nigeria.
