Akume, aka Just George, navigates in national politics for the construction of the nation

Senator [Dr] George Akume’s refusal to withdraw from national politics and focus on local relevance in the land of Tiv has been the subject of debate.

Unlike many tiv elite that return home to maintain local influence at the expiry of their mandate in Abuja, Sgf Akume has chosen to stay in the national spotlight, navigating the complexities of Nigerian politics.

His determination to remain relevant in the competitive panorama of Abuja, in which power and resources are strongly contested, has gained him the reputation of a strong -willed and determined individual.

This determination allowed him to survive and thrive in the capital of the nation, making him a remarkable figure in Nigerian politics.

The constant growth of Senator Akume at the National will soon give him and the people of the North Central greater opportunities and responsibilities.

I hope I live!
