Official Appellation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) has expressed concern over the frequent errors in the official appellation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by various organisations and media outlets.

In a statement personally signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, the Office urged the public and media organisations to verify official titles before publication to avoid such embarrassing and avoidable mistakes.

“For the record, the correct and official appellation is: His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Akume stated.

He added that verifications can be made through the Office’s official channels, including:

• Facebook: @OfficeoftheSGF
• Instagram: OfficialOSGFNG
• X (formerly Twitter): OfficialOSGF
• Email: [email protected]

The clarification became necessary following an error observed in the naming and appellation of the President in a publication by a national daily on Wednesday, May 7, 2026.

Akume noted that such lapses could be avoided through proper verification from the appropriate official sources.
