The Forum of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of Federal Parastatals has appointed the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. George Akume, as its patron.
The forum also pledged to mobilise 10 million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
The decision was announced when a 20-member delegation of the forum paid a courtesy visit to Akume in Abuja.
A statement on the visit, signed by Otunba Biodun Ajiboye, Chairman of the Publicity Committee, was made available to newsmen on Saturday in Abuja.
In the statement, Chairman of the forum, Dr Kazeem Raji, said the appointment recognised Akume’s leadership, experience and contributions to coordinating government institutions.
Raji, who is also Director-General of the National Board of Technology Incubation, said the forum would support Tinubu’s re-election through lawful, peaceful and issue-based engagement.

The forum chairman said the SGF’s efforts had contributed to the stability, coherence and effectiveness of the administration.
“We recognise the enormous responsibility you carry at the centre of government,” Raji said.
He added that the forum appreciated Akume’s diligence, discretion and statesmanship in supporting President Bola Tinubu and advancing the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Raji announced the forum’s determination to secure at least 10 million votes for Tinubu in his 2027 re-election bid.
Corroborating the chairman, Ajiboye, said the forum was willing to support Tinubu, whom he described as their principal.
He said the CEOs remained the executors and implementers of government policies and therefore constituted the administration’s “real work engine”.
The publicity committee chairman disclosed that the forum had outlined its political engagement objectives ahead of the 2027 Presidential Election during the visit.
He said the forum would support Tinubu’s re-election through lawful, ethical, peaceful and issue-based campaigns and dialogue with citizens.
Ajiboye said the forum’s engagements would include communicating government policies, programmes and achievements, while providing channels for citizens’ concerns and feedback.
Responding, Akume expressed appreciation for the honour, describing it as both a privilege and a call to greater service.
Akume, represented by Permanent Secretary, Political and Economic Affairs Office, Mrs Augusta Warrens, pledged continued support for stronger inter-agency cooperation.
He also promised necessary support from the Office of the SGF to enhance the efficiency of public institutions.
Akume commended the forum for promoting the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda across their respective domains.
He, however, urged members to do more in communicating government achievements and addressing what he described as disinformation.
