Tinubu is detribalised leader, focuses on Nigeria’s unity — Akume

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, has described President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a detribalised and inclusive leader whose style of governance continues to promote national unity, peaceful coexistence and equal opportunities for all Nigerians, irrespective of ethnic or religious affiliation.

Speaking while receiving the leadership of the Nigerian Fulani Community Support Group (NFCSG) on Tuesday in Abuja, the SGF said the Tinubu administration remains firmly committed to building a united nation where competence, character and patriotism take precedence over ethnic or religious considerations.

“Asiwaju is a fantastic man who carries everyone along in his government. He does not discriminate. He demonstrated this during his time as Governor of Lagos State by appointing qualified Nigerians from different ethnic backgrounds into his cabinet.

“He also ensured that individuals from other tribes who emerged victorious in party primaries were given the opportunity to contest elections on the party’s platform,” Akume stated.

The SGF stressed that the Federal Government would continue to partner with individuals, groups and organisations committed to fostering peace, national cohesion and sustainable development, noting that Nigeria’s diversity remains one of its greatest strengths.

“This government will work with anyone who supports peace and the national development of our country. We must continue to live together in harmony and reject every form of division capable of undermining our collective progress,” he said.
