The Honourable Minister of Special Duties and Inter-governmental Affairs, Senator George Akume, has opened a campaign office in Maitama, Abuja, to drive his All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairmanship aspiration.

In a statement yesterday, Akume noted that he would, in the coming weeks, hold a rally in Benue to formally declare his intention
The statement reads: “The Akume camp is not leaving any stone unturned, as consultations are ongoing at the highest levels. It is really looking like he is the anointed one with his experience said to be richest among the other contenders.”

“Akume, a bridge builder and core progressive, is the only ex-governor that is reputed to be EFCC-free.”
