The former Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, has visited the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, in his office in Abuja.
OsunDailyNG recalls that Keyamo and Akume, a former governor of Benue State, were both ministers in the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
In a tweet via his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday morning, Keyamo announced that he paid a courtesy visit to his former colleague in his office on Tuesday.
He wrote: “Yesterday, I visited my former colleague in Cabinet and our new SGF in the in-coming Cabinet, H.E, Distinguished Senator George Akume in his office.”
Keyamo’s visit to the former Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs comes a day after he was screened and cleared by the Senate as a minister.
Keyamo who appeared before the Senate for screening on Monday faced a tough moment following a motion demanding that the screening of Keyamo be suspended.
After an intervention by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Keyamo apologized to lawmakers in the Senate for shunning a series of invitations by the 9th National Assembly.
