The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. George Akume has said he would not seek any elective office again.
Akume stated this during the reception organised in honour of Sen. Solomon Ewuga and others who defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa state on Saturday in Lafia.
According to him, his responsibility at his present age is to help to mentor the younger ones to take up challenge in nation building.
Akume said that the north central has a lot of opportunities waiting to be tapped, and urging the people of the zone to join hands in bring development to the zone and Nigeria at large.
“At my age I don’t think I will seek any elective office again, my responsibility is to help to mentor the younger ones to take up challenge in nation building,” Akume said.
He described Solomon Ewuga as a courageous and hardworking man who loves Nasarawa state, noting that his coming together into APC fold would help Nasarawa state to move faster in the area of development.
Akume said Ewuga would be written his name in gold if he did exactly what he said he was going to do for Nasarawa state and indeed for North Central Zone.
“You coming is also timely, join hands with Gov Sule and other leaders to help develop Nasarawa state is what our people need, that’s what they want, we will fail them if we don’t do so.
“You have got exposure, as former deputy governor, former FCT state Minister, Senator, you told me is time to join hands and develop Nasarawa state, and your people have been pushing for this.
” I am happy you didn’t disappoint them, don’t disappoint any us because we have confidence in you, when we discussed your plan return to APC with Sule which are you also a co- founder we were elated,” he said.
He applauded the national Chairman of APC, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje for adding value to the party since his assumption of office.
“We have a very talented President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the gifted strategist, politician and a stateman who has nack to identify talents and use such talents.
“And one of them is national chairman of our great Party, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, a great man, fine and extraordinary man who has added value to our party since assumption of office a few months ago,” he said.
