President Tinubu Receives Former Senate President, Anyim Pius Into APC
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday officially welcomed former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim, into the All Progressives Congress.
Anyim, who previously served as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation under President Goodluck Jonathan, recently left the Peoples Democratic Party to join the APC.
The welcoming ceremony took place at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, where Anyim was introduced by a delegation led by Imo State Governor Senator Hope Uzodimma and Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru.
In his remarks, Anyim emphasized his dedication to advancing Nigeria, saying, “We must all work together to drive the country forward.”
He announced his defection on Saturday, July 13, 2024, when he led a contingent of his supporters into the APC fold during the party’s Local Government Area election campaign finale in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State capital.
Anyim led a large delegation of prominent individuals, comprising former lawmakers, governorship candidates, and thousands of their supporters, from various parties, including the Labour Party’s Edwin Nkwegu and Senator Obinna Ọgba, into the APC fold.
APC leaders, including National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, Uzodinma, Governor Francis Nwifuru, Minister of Works, David Umahi, and State Chairman Stanley Emegha, welcomed the new members into the party fold.
