I see good things coming for Nigerians. “

Speaking further, Akpabio noted that “in less than 20 days in office, the Stock Market has gone up all over the world. The world is already applauding Nigeria. I believe strongly that Senator Akume has a hand in most of the policies that are coming out and you are just starting. You can imagine the celebrations that would come again, in the first 100 days of this administration in office. You are indeed a square peg in a square hole. “

“We are celebrating two things tonight; Excellence and Humility. You are a man of excellence. You leave your mark in everything you do and I have no doubt you are going to leave your mark in the present administration of President Tinubu. Your humility disarms all,” he declared.

Akpabio vowed that the 10th Senate would work seamlessly with Senator Akume as the SGF to develop policies that will change the economic situation in the nation.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, in his message, stated that “Senator Akume has a proven track record in coordinating government activities and stringing government, while the Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, described Akume as “a welfarist who puts the needs of others first. His appointment, he noted, ‘is an evidence of efficient representation of the North Central in President Tinubu’s administration.”

In his response, the SGF thanked all the dignitaries for their goodwill messages, assuring Nigerians that he will do his best and he will not disappoint President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC.
