..few days after new wife was made public

The lawmaker representing Gboko/Tarka Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, Mrs. Regina Akume, has urged her husband, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, to return fully to Christianity, stressing that his achievements in life were rooted in his Christian faith.

Mrs. Akume made the appeal in a viral video recorded during the wedding reception of the SGF’s son, held on Sunday in Makurdi, Benue State. The SGF last weekend celebrated his 72nd birthday anniversary.

In a birthday prayer for her husband, the lawmaker asked God to grant him long life, sound health, and wisdom, while calling on him to remember his Christian foundation.

“I pray that the Lord will increase his years, good health, good health of mind and body. And he will have the clarity in thinking and doing things right,” she said.

Mrs. Akume further emphasized that Christianity played a central role in her husband’s rise to prominence, cautioning against abandoning the faith.

“And he should remember that he is a Christian and it is Christianity that brought him this far. And so to drop Christianity now, to go for anything, he will not be successful,” she stated.

She advised him directly, saying, “So my advice to him is to come back to Christianity and follow the line of Christ. We came all the way to SGF, it is not through any means but through Jesus Christ.

“And Jesus Christ is still alive and still working, doing things for us. So I wish that he will come back to Christianity,” Mrs. Akume said.

The comments come amid recent widespread discussions on social and conventional media regarding Senator Akume’s reported marriage to another wife.

Reports claimed that the former governor of Benue State recently married a prominent figure within Nigeria’s royal and elite social circles, introduced as Her Highness, Queen Zaynab Ngohemba-George Akume Dajoh.
