The All Progressives Congress, APC has passed a vote of confidence on the Secretary to Government of the Federation, SGF Sen. George Akume, over his performance in office.

The party also thanked Akume for his leadership qualities, which it noted have formed a bond for the north central states of the party, assuring that its outing in the last general election will be repeated in 2027 when president Bola Tinubu will be seeking re-election.

Speaking at a political event in Makurdi, a Second Republic politician, Senator Jack Gyado, condemned calls in some quarters for Akume’s removal as SGF, saying the latter’s performance is satisfactory.

He assured that the unity in the party especially in north central is an indication that the zone and Benue in particular will still deliver President Tinubu come 2027

Gyado further condemned the factionalization of APC in the state saying the party remains indivisible under Akume and the state chairman, Austin Agada as manifest in the unity amongst federal appointees, both serving and former members of the national and state assembly
