Lawmaker representing Gboko/Tarka federal constituency in the National Assembly, Hon. Regina Akume, has urged her husband, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, to fully return to Christianity.
Mrs Akume gave the advice on Sunday, December 28, 2025, in Makurdi, Benue State, while responding to journalists who asked about her prayers and wishes for the SGF as he marked his 72nd birthday.
The advice is coming on the heels of reports that Akume has married a new wife, Queen Zaynab Ngohemba, a former wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi.
The SGF’s wife warned that turning away from Christianity for any other belief system would not yield success, stressing that their family’s progress and achievements were founded on faith in Jesus Christ.
“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.
“And he should remember that he is a Christian and it’s Christianity that brought him this far.
“So to drop Christianity now and to go for anything, he will not be successful. So my advice to him is to come back to Christianity and follow the line of Christ.
“We came all the way to SGF, it is not through any means, but through Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is still alive and still working, doing things for us.
“I wish that he will come back to Christianity,” she added.
I really appreciate her prayers and advice. She is a woman of courage and good character.
More than 90% of the Prophets of God in the bible were polygamous. That is the original rule in Christianity which Jesus came to confirm.
