The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume has corrected the frequent error in the official appellation of President Bola Tinubu by various bodies and media organisations.
A statement signed by the SGF, says the clarification became necessary after an error was observed in the naming and appellation of the President in a publication by a national daily on Wednesday, May 7, 2026.
Akume therefore, urged the public and media organisations to verify official titles before publication so that such avoidable and embarrassing errors would not filter into the public domain.
“For the record, the correct and official appellation is: His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Akume stated.
Senator Akume added that verifications can be made through the Office’s official channels, including:
