A former governor of Benue State, Chief Samuel Ortom, has celebrated the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Sen. George Akume, on his 72nd birthday.
Ortom, in a goodwill message yesterday signed by Mr Terver Akase, his media adviser, described Akume as a statesman and a consummate leader.
The former governor said the SGF’s decades of public service had left an indelible mark on Benue and the nation at large.
He said Akume’s political journey had been defined by vision, discipline and commitment to the public good.
According to Ortom, Akume has mentored, groomed and positioned countless people, among them technocrats, politicians, and professionals across diverse fields, many of whom continue to contribute meaningfully to national development.
“Senator Akume has distinguished himself through an exemplary life of public service. As a former governor of Benue and a three-time senator who represented the Benue Northwest Senatorial District, minister of the Federal Republic, and now SGF, Senator Akume has demonstrated unparalleled commitment to the welfare of his people and the country as a whole,” he added.
