The Presidency has refuted reports claiming that Hadiza Bala Usman has been appointed as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF). Current SGF Senator George Akume will continue in his role, contrary to rumors suggesting he was to replace Abdullahi Ganduje as Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) following his resignation.
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, labeled the circulating information as false and urged the public to disregard it. The statement emphasized that there have been no changes in Akume’s status, and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, currently in Saint Lucia, has not made any new appointments.
