LIST OF APPROVED VISITORS TO SGF'S RESIDENCE; FALSE AND SHOULD BE DISREGARDED Tuesday, April 8, 2025 It has come to the attention of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) His Excellency Senator George Akume, that there is an exclusive list making the rounds in the social media of persons approved who may be welcome at his Abuja residence.

These bitterness and frustration have beclouded his reasoni...

CHIEF OYEGUN OFFICIALLY JOINS ADC 16th July, 2025 A former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Odigie-Oyegun, has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Oyegun, a former Edo State Governor, received the membership card of his new party on Tuesday. His membership card was handed to him by the party’s state chairman, Kennedy Odion, after he registered with the ADC in Benin city, the Edo State capital. Speaking at the presentation, Odion said the former APC national chairman is not new to the formation of political coalitions. He recalled Oyegun’s involvement with the formation of a coalition that led to the emergence of the APC in 2013 that eventually ousted the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015. He said: “He has put together what is called a coalition before, and he succeeded. So, in mathematics, once you understand the formula, the answer is in view. So, he understands how he did it before, ...
