The lawmaker representing Gboko/Tarka federal constituency in the National Assembly, Mrs. Regina Akume, has urged her husband, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume,not to abandon his faith.
The federal lawmaker urged her husband to fully return to Christianity, stressing that his achievements in life were rooted in his Christian faith.
Mrs. Akume made the appeal in a viral video recorded during the wedding reception of the SGF’s son, held on Sunday in Makurdi, Benue State. Senator Akume celebrated his 72nd birthday anniversary last weekend.
The appeal may not be unconnected to the reported marriage of the top government official to the former wife of Ooni of Ife, Queen Zaynab Ngohemba-George Akume Dajoh.
Christianity abhors polygamy, as Christianity does not permit a man marrying two wives.
In a birthday prayer for her husband, she said: “I pray that the Lord will increase his years, grant him good health of mind and body, and give him clarity in thinking and doing things rightly,” she said.
She also noted:“And he should remember that he is a Christian, and it is Christianity that brought him this far. To abandon Christianity now and pursue anything else, he will not be successful.” Mrs. Akune added: “So my advice to him is to come back to Christianity and follow the line of Christ.”
We came all the way to SGF not through any other means but through Jesus Christ. And Jesus Christ is still alive and still working, doing things for us. So I wish that he will come back to Christianity,” Mrs. Akume said.
