The Presidency has denied reports making the rounds that the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, has been replaced.
In messages circulating on social media, Hadiza Bala Usman, Special Adviser to the President on Policy Coordination, was named as Akume’s replacement.
But debunking the report late Saturday, Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, said “there has been no change in the status of His Excellency, Senator George Akume, as Secretary to the Government of the Federation.”
Onanuga added that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is currently in Saint Lucia, has not made any new appointments.
“The information circulating about Akume’s replacement is untrue. Agents of mischief fabricated it.”
He advised Nigerians to disregard the fake news.
