The presidency has debunked claims that the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, has resigned.
In a statement by a presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, on Saturday night, described the claim as untrue.
According to him, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is currently in Saint Lucia, has not made any new appointments.
He stressed that there is no change in the status of Nigeria’s SGF, Akume.
“There has been no change in the status of His Excellency, Senator George Akume, as Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, currently in Saint Lucia, has not made any new appointments.
“The information circulating about Akume’s replacement is untrue. Agents of mischief fabricated it.
“The Presidency advises Nigerians to disregard the fake news,” the statement reads.
Also, when Nigerian Newssphere contacted the Special Adviser on Public Affairs to Akume, Terrence Kuanum said the claim is ‘fake news.’
The clarification comes amid rumours that Akume has resigned as SGF.
