The Digest:
A public appeal from a spouse carries both personal and political weight in a moment of private transition. Regina Akume, a federal lawmaker and wife of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) George Akume, has publicly urged her husband to fully return to his Christian faith, linking his life achievements directly to his religious foundation.
Key Points:
- Mrs. Akume made the remarks in a viral video during their son's wedding reception, which also marked the SGF's 72nd birthday.
- She prayed for his long life and wisdom while reminding him that Christianity was central to his success.
- Her advice included a caution: "To abandon Christianity now and pursue anything else, he will not be successful."
- The appeal is seen against the backdrop of widespread reports confirming the SGF's recent marriage to a second wife, Queen Zaynab Ngohemba.
- The second marriage was celebrated by the Dajoh family in a social media post welcoming the new wife.
- Mrs. Akume framed their political ascent as being "through Jesus Christ," urging a return to that path.
- The statement has sparked significant reaction online, intertwining discussions of faith, polygamy, and public morality.
