The Federal Government has expressed concern over what it described as repeated errors in the official appellation of President Bola Tinubu, urging organisations and media outlets to ensure strict compliance with the correct title.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, made this known on Friday in Abuja through a statement issued by his media aide, Yomi Odunuga.
Akume explained that the clarification followed an error noticed in the naming and appellation of the president in a publication by a national newspaper on Wednesday, May 7, 2026.
“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 also urged members of the public and media organisations to verify official titles before publication to prevent what he described as avoidable and embarrassing mistakes appearing in print and online reports.
According to him, such verifications can be carried out through the office’s official communication channels on Facebook, Instagram, X and via email.
