The newly sworn-in Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Senator George Akume has promised to do his best and not disappoint Nigerians, the President and the country in discharging his responsibility.
This was after he took the oath of office during the inauguration by President Bola Tinubu at the Council Chambers, Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Speaking with State House correspondents after the inauguration, Senator Akume said he was elated to serve in this exalted position out of over 200 million Nigerians.
He said it’s a challenge, a challenge to serve in line with the oath I have taken today (a few minutes ago), assuring Nigerians that he will do his best.
In his words, “I am elated to serve in this exalted position out of over 200 million Nigerians. It’s a challenge, a challenge to serve in line with the oath I have taken today, a few minutes ago. I assured Nigerians I will do my best, I will not disappoint the president, I will not disappoint this country, I will not disappoint my party. I believe Nigerians will find fulfilment in my responsibilities as I discharge them.
“I say it is an honour to serve your country, it’s a sign of joy and strongly persuaded that by the grace of almighty God, I will do my best; and Nigerians will really have to reap the dividends of democracy.
“I am someone who has been on the scene for quite some time. And you know the man we are serving as president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we just have to follow his footsteps. He has never been in the gallery you know, the galleries according to Resonate are full of critics. He has always been in the arena, down in the arena, are the doers. He’s always the doer. And so we have to tag along, we must never afford to fail. Thank you very much,” the AGF said.
