Governor Uzodimma Introduces Pius Anyim to President Tinubu
Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, also the chairman of the Progressives Governors’ Forum, has officially presented former Senate President Pius Anyim to President Bola Tinubu.
This introduction follows Anyim’s recent defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Anyim, who served as Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) under ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, made the switch last week.
Addressing State House reporters post-meeting, Uzodimma praised the Tinubu administration for its substantial support to the South East region. “The South East Governors Forum is very happy with the President and grateful for what he is doing for the people,” Uzodimma stated.
Uzodimma highlighted that the APC’s improved performance has led to an entire local government area falling under its control, reflecting positively on the current administration.
Former Senate President Anyim emphasized the need for collective effort to advance the nation. “This is a new dawn, and many people have agreed that the President’s 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,” he asserted.
Anyim’s defection was marked by a significant event in Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi, where he joined the APC with his supporters during the APC campaign’s grand finale for the Local Government Area elections.
The political shift included other notable figures such as former Senator and PDP Gubernatorial Candidate in the 2023 general elections, Sen. Obinna Ogba, and Labour Party’s Chief Edward Nkwegu. Additionally, several former members of the National and State Assemblies, as well as former Local Government Area Chairmen from the opposition, also joined the APC.
