The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, has married Queen Zaynab, a former wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi.

In a post accompanying the photos, the family welcomed Queen Zaynab, describing the union as a joyful development and extending goodwill messages to Nigerians during the festive season.
