The North Central Forum of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, to take decisive action in uniting party leaders and promoting inclusivity across the region. In a statement released by its Chairman, Saleh Zazzaga, after a strategic meeting in Abuja, the Forum stressed the urgency of Akume addressing key concerns within the party.
At the core of their demands is Akume’s role as a unifying figure in the North Central region. The Forum urged him to ensure that the people of the zone feel the impact of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, particularly through fair representation and significant developmental progress.
The Forum expressed unease about perceived flaws in Akume’s leadership approach and imbalances in appointments, warning of potential protests if these issues are not promptly addressed. “As a son of the North Central, we expect the SGF to take charge and ensure that the region benefits significantly under this administration,” Zazzaga stated.
Akume, a skilled politician and influential member of the APC, is seen as crucial to maintaining unity and driving progress in the North Central. His ability to align the party’s agenda with the aspirations of its members and the broader populace will be vital in solidifying the party’s stronghold in the zone.
The call for action highlights the rising tension among APC members in the region, who are eager for greater inclusion and fair distribution of opportunities under the Tinubu administration. As expectations mount, Akume’s response could significantly impact his standing within the party and the region’s support for the APC in future elections.
With the North Central Forum indicating its readiness to organize protests, all eyes are on George Akume to steer the course and reaffirm his commitment to exemplary leadership.
