1 min read
President Bola Tinubu has formally received a former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim, into the fold of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Anyim defected to the ruling party in his ward in Ebonyi State last week.
Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, and Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State, led the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) to the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, on Wednesday, for the brief ceremony.
Speaking with reporters after meeting with the President, Pius Anyim said the administration of President Tinubu was doing well to cater to the needs of citizens.
He said there was a need for Nigerians to come together and ensure that the country progresses.
“This is a new dawn, and many people have agreed that the present administration is doing very well.
“My determination is that Nigeria moves forward. There is a need that we all should put hands together to move the country forward,” Anyim said.
Recall that, on Tuesday, the senator representing Imo East in the National Assembly, Sen. Ezenwo Onyewuchi, had defected from the Labour Party (LP) to the APC.
Pius Anyim, who has been a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) since 1999, and Sen. Onyewuchi are two bigwigs the ruling party has gained in two weeks.
