Frontline gubernatorial aspirant in 2023 election under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Benue State, Dr. Mathias Byuaan, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, over the appointment of Sen. George Akume, as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and called on Tiv Nation to support his government.

Buyaan, who came 2nd in the APC primary election won by Rev.fr. Hyacinth Alia, the incumbent Governor of Benue State, said the choice of Akume as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation by President Tinubu was divine and the best thing to have happened to the entire people of the North Central geopolitical zone.

Byuaan, who spoke to Newsmen at a Thanksgiving Mass, organized by St. Augustine’s Catholic Tiv Community in honour of the SGF, held at Nyanya, over the weekend in Abuja, said Akume’s appointment is an honor and a demonstration of Tinubu’s deep love and care for the region .

He stated that the people of the region are indebted to President Tinubu and would surely reciprocate the gesture in future elections.

According to him, the office of the SGF is an important position in government, which has been handed over to the leader of the party in the north central geopolitical region.

His words: “Let me tell you. The office of the SGF is a big one. God used President Tinubu to appoint our Father, Leader and a great political strategist into this position. It is purely an act of God.”

He urged all Benue indegines, especially the elites to support the SGF to succeed in this onours task.

He described Akume as ‘ a Lion in the Benue Forest ‘ that can devour any political threat.

The maverick politician further described Akume as a kindhearted Leader, who is ever ready to accommodate people irrespective of their social standing.

He also said the former two term governor of Benue State was the most suitable person for that position, giving his training as a technocrat, who rose to the pinnacle of his career retiring as a Permanent Secretary.

He insisted that the present government has taken steps capable of reviving and stimulating economic growth to improved living standard of Nigerians and called for support to the government.

Byuan, who is also the Managing -Director of Byuan Resources Limited, a conglomerate, with it’s Headquarters in Abuja, declared that the people of the North Central zone, will queue behind the Tinubu led Administration and support all its programmes for peace, and development of the country.
