Nigerian Concord Newspaper
Facts have emerged on why the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah leaked the secret marriage between the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume and a former queen of the Ooni of Ife, Olori Zaynab Wuraola to the media last week.
Recall that the news of the union between Akume and Wuraola came to public notice few days through a social media post made Mr. Atir Solomon Faeren who is the Adviser to Akutah on Public and Political Affairs.
Mr. Faeren deleted the indicting post (screenshot of the post attached here)
within ten minutes but the public had already become aware of the secret marriage between the duo.
Faeren in his post which he made on Facebook few days to Christmas day accused Queen Zaynab Wuraola of using her influence to stop Akutah from getting Akume’s favour to be governor of Benue State in 2027. He believes that Queen Zaynab Wuraola is now working for the emergence of another aspirant to be governor of the state as a result of disturbing reports that the said aspirant (Name withheld) has opened an investment worth over N5billion for the SGF’s new wife..
According to him, his boss (Akutah) was the one who cemented the relationship between Senator George Akume and Zaynab Wuraola who is from the same Edo State where his own wife Patricia Obehi Akutah hails from.
However, it was gathered that the wedding photo (attached here)
where Akutah was standing right behind Senator George Akume and his new wife was secretly released to journalists by Atir Solomon on the instruction of his principal (Akutah) who felt betrayed by Queen Zaynab Wuraola who is apparently working for another aspirant.
Meanwhile, sources close to Pius Akutah said that he had boasted that he arranged for Akume to marry a relative of his own wife from Edo State as a stake for his governorship ambition.
“It’s sad that Zaynab has betrayed Akutah, a man who facilitated her relationship with our leader. It was Akutah who ensured the success of the wedding which took place in Mexico sometimes ago between the SGF and Wuraola. This is the same man he has dumped for another aspirant” a credible source told this newspaper.
This newspaper gathered that Akutah influenced Akume to marry his wife’s relative so he could use her to secure the support of the SGF to realize his governorship ambition in 2027.
Also, the same Akutah has been revealing every secret within the SGF household especially issues that have to do with Rt. Hon. Regina Akume to his wife, Patricia who would in return relay them to Queen Zaynab..
Multiple sources said that Akutah’s involvement in the secret marriage between Akume and Zaynab was part of his plot to manipulate the SGF to support his gubernatorial ambition.
