The Federal Government has frowned at the frequent misuse of the official appellation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by some organisations, urging strict adherence to the correct title going forward.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, made this known in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja by his media adviser, Yomi Odunuga.

According to the statement, 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.

“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 urged media organisations and . members of the public to verify official titles before publication to avoid what he described as avoidable errors in print and online publications.

Akume further advised that such verifications could be made through the office’s official channels on Facebook, Instagram and X, as well as via email.
