Mrs Regina Akume, the member representing Gboko/Tarka Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, has called on her husband, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, to “come back to Christianity”.
Mrs Akume said this during the wedding reception of the SGF’s son, which held on Sunday, Dec. 28, in Makurdi, Benue State.
A video of her speech was shared by Idoma Television on Monday, Dec. 29.
Senator Akume, a former governor of Benue State, also marked his 72nd birthday anniversary last weekend.
In the video, Mrs Akume prayed for her husband’s long life and good health, while advising him not to abandon Christianity.
She said, “I pray that the Lord will increase his years, good health of mind and body, and give him clarity in thinking and doing things right.
“And he should remember that he is a Christian, and it is Christianity that brought him this far. To drop Christianity now and go for anything else, he will not be successful.
“So my advice to him is to come back to Christianity and follow the line of Christ. We came all the way to the office of SGF, not through enemies but through Jesus Christ. And Jesus Christ is still alive and still working for us. I wish that he would come back to Christianity.”
Her comments come amid reports that the SGF recently married another wife.
He is said to have married Zaynab Ngohemba-George, the former wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi.
