The wife of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and lawmaker representing Gboko/Tarka Federal Constituency, Mrs. Regina Akume, has publicly reaffirmed her marriage to George Akume.
Naijaonpoint reports that she declared that she remains his wife despite public commentary surrounding his family.
Mrs. Akume made the declaration in a video recorded during a New Year Mass, where she addressed congregants in an emotional but firm tone, stressing that her family remains united.
“I want to tell the world that I still love Mr. George (Akume). He is my husband,” she said.
Pointing to members of her family seated in the congregation, she added, “That is his son sitting there, and that is also his daughter,” mentioning their names as she spoke.
Dismissing public speculation, the federal lawmaker stated unequivocally that her marital status remains unchanged.
“That is my man and that is my husband. I have no other husband but him. I do not care what the world says,” she said, drawing applause from worshippers.
Mrs. Akume also used the occasion to recount a recent medical challenge, describing it as a difficult period that tested her faith and strength.
According to her, she received divine healing and has fully recovered.
“I thank God for granting me healing and making me healthy again,” she said.
She further reaffirmed her Christian faith, describing God as supreme and incomparable.
“He is the Almighty Father. There is none like Him, and there is no power that is above His power,” she declared.
Emphasising Christian beliefs on redemption, she added, “There is no sacrifice anybody can offer that is above the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus on the cross.”
Her comments come amid growing public interest in the Akume family, following reports that the SGF recently took another wife, a development that has generated widespread discussion across political and social circles.
