Regina Akume, wife of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, has obtained the All Progressives Congress, APC, nomination and expression of interest forms to contest for a second term representing the Gboko/Tarka Federal Constituency in the 2027 general elections.


The former First Lady of Benue State was elected into the House of Representatives in 2023 on the platform of the APC, defeating John Dyegh of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The 71-year-old APC chieftain picked up the forms on Friday at the party’s headquarters in Makurdi, accompanied by supporters and party leaders.


Speaking with journalists, Akume said her decision followed wide consultations with party leaders, stakeholders, and constituents, who urged her to seek re-election based on her performance in the 10th National Assembly.

Meanwhile, the immediate past first lady of the state, Eunice Ortom, has declared interest in contesting the Benue Northwest Senatorial election.


Mrs Ortom, who picked up the forms on Friday, also emerged as the consensus candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

APC is full of old people whose brain is on reverse mode because of old age.

What's this old mama wants to go and do in the Senate now?

What has tinubu achieved in his almost 4yrs mis-rule?

Why do we keep supporting over 70yrs people that are supposed to be at old peoples home or in there villages looking after farmlands and resting ?.


We must kick out this old people in there 70's age destroying our country in 2027

Hmmmm.
I don't want to hear obituary in the next House o

What's all this for heaven sake, greeds over peaceful mind

Is this not too much.....but should not be surprised as this is how most of these people abuse their parents and fore fathers.

And the sad part is that it always end in sorrow for them.

Everyone knows that if election is held solely on social media, their will be only one winner, their candidate 🙄

She is only 6yrs older than Peter obi.

And she has the right to exercise her fundamental constitutional entitled.

I don’t understand people no dey this state, na so David self dey still shame no let ham go back again.

I would blame the younger electorate if she gets back, unless she has verifiable evidences of proper representation of her people, else she better takes a back sit and play an advisory role, that's if she has learnt to be actually humane all through her time in power.

Nigeria is finished, these people have turned government positions to family inheritance

Firstly, she is more than 71 years. Secondly, she is as greedy and power hungry like her horseband. Thirdly, it is unfortunate that Nigeria belongs to certain people, while others are just watching them prosper.

At least Peter Obi’s age isn’t a mystery. How many extra years does Tinubu have on her?

See the faded old skank. What is she looking for? No wonder her husband went for a younger beautiful woman.

Family affairs,ortom’s wife too is contesting…

Does it mean, the moneys the husband is bringing back home as Secretary to the Federal Government is not enough or sufficient to run the family or it is just free money and it must be made? Na waoh!
