Abakaliki-Former Senate President and Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator Anyim Pius Anyim has intensified efforts towards becoming the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Anyim, has reportedly taken his campaigns to former Presidents like Olusegun Obasanjo, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and former military presidents, General Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalami Abubakar.


Anyim also had meetings with the former Minister of Defence, General Theophilus Danjuma, Chief Arthur Eze and Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu who also blessed and endorsed his presidential ambition.

He equally met some influential Northern Emirs like the Emir of Lafia, who also blessed and endorsed his presidential aspiration.

Following his consultations, Anyim received kind assurances as he was urged to soldier on in his “aspiration to clinch the presidential candidate of the PDP ”.

It was gathered that the former Presidents and Emirs expressed satisfaction tthat there are few credible aspirants from the Southeast in the presidential race.

According to a source, most of those personalities Anyim consulted concerning his aspiration noted that his aspiration was appropriate in the spirit of equity and fairness.

According to them, the next presidential candidate of the PDP should come from the South, particularly the Southeast geopolitical zone of the country.

Meanwhile, some Northern Civil Society groups under the umbrella of Arewa Concerned Civil Society Organisations of Nigeria (ACCSON), have endorsed the Presidential ambition of Senator Anyim.

According to a statement yesterday by the spokesman of the group, Abdulsalam Kazeem, said the the next President should come from the South-east, maintaining that Anyim remains the best candidate for the job.

The statement read in part: “We realized that only two regions out of the six geo political regions have not occupied either President or vice-President seat since 1999 till date, which is unfair and against any democratic standard worldwide.

“For instance; between 1999 to 2007, it was South-west and North-east, and between 2007 to 2015 it was between North-east, South-south and North-west while between 2015 till date it is between North-west and South-west!

“The South-east for instance is part and parcel of the Nigerian project from day one till date; and, they should be treated fairly just like other zones of the country.

“They too deserve to get what others have gotten, because they have paid their dues in terms of contributions and consolidation of Nigeria”, Kazeem said.

He maintained further that going by the available facts “it is now clear to us as progressives, that some political elites are against the unity of Nigeria.”

He added that power rotation will stop the feeling of marginalisation and agitations for cessation, not only in the south east, but also from other regions.

“Consequently, we hereby urge all political parties to zone their presidential ticket to the South East for the sake of justice, equity and fairness”, Kazeem added.

The group described Anyim as a bridge builder and called on the entire Northern youths to support his 2023 presidential ambition.

“His Excellency, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, is an accomplished statesman, a legal professional, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation and former President of the Senate and Chairman of the National Assembly.

“He is a detribalized Nigerian who has good intentions for the youths and our region. As a former Senate President, history has it that before his emergence as the President of the Senate, the Senate was a troubled institution.

“His emergence helped to bring to an end all forms of crisis rocking the senate. This was achieved because he introduced inclusiveness in all the activities of the red chamber.

“As a secretary to the Government of the Federation, he helped the Jonathan administration to stabilize the Nigerian economy through numerous projects that are visible and useful to our region and the nation at large.

“He has friends, colleagues and political associates across the 109 senatorial districts of the country.

“Senator Anyim should be our presidential candidate irrespective of party affiliations as history will judge our actions today.”

we don’t need all these oldies
We need digital minds not analog brains
No pun intended

Okay

Q

Very good

Who be this one Na?

I admire his guts. Even if he doesn't get the ticket he has shown a fighting, go-getter, and competitive spirit. Unlike some that are waiting in line to become Atiku's VP. Atiku Abubakar and other Northern PDP hopefuls aren't more qualified than Pius Anyim.

Old cargo and the same old and forgotten party.

One word: CLOWN

PDP will not give it's ticket to a South easterner being that they don't come out to vote in numbers and democracy is a game of numbers.

Eni je!

Waste of time

Good

Let SE emerge in both PDP and APC just as two yoruba politicians emerged in PDP and its opposition AD, in 1999.

Holding Nigerians at ransom and forcing all of us to settle down to a yoruba president in 1999.

Obasanjo was declared winner

Good, he was against OBJ's planned 3rd third agenda and his tenure as SP was one of the best in NA... 2003 NA are legends when compared to this rubber stamp NA of BH

Where are the head slamming cows and dia skull mining Afonjaa counterparts!! Shebi dem say igbos should negotiate .power isn't given ala carte bla bla bla.. dis one Anyim is doing now is what Thunder wen go wipe off una brains soon don finish press up

Anyim 2023

Insha Allah

Ebubu:

Oga pius you were not informed too ok continue To campaign

Good one. PDP is where Igbos belong. They should seek their presidential ticket there and leave APC alone.

So na dis centenary thief wey dey always sleep for public convention Wan rule us ?
Dis same man wey dey always carry ogogoro go take scam Jonathan for office to sign documents Wan rule all of us?
Walai naija don suffer aswear.
D kontri don go to the dogs
What a jokingly joke
See regional sentiments everywhere, just imagine educated people with supposed right minds/senses supporting thieves/daylight robbers all because they're from a particular region(tinubu inclusive). I guess their sins had been forgiven
Sebi buhari case neva teach us anything?
Na slave trade we all go end up becoming.

Great!

Igbos should come out and support their own. The more the merrier. At the end of the day, one or two people will represent the Igbos to face the Yoruba candidates. Peter Obi should come out and stand for election as President and stop hiding Almajari Atuku. Dr Ogbonaya Onu is another great Igbo man with many years political experience and not a single corruption case. That is what is called free and fair. Not waiting for the Presidency to be zoned to your village.

If Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo the Solution is presented as the Igbo candidate, I am very sure about 75% of Yoruba professionals will vote for the world's best Economist who taught the white pigs from World Bank, American Bank, European Central Bank, IMF and others how to manage be Economy when you sense recession from afar.

Na OYO you Dey

Even the Ibos don’t believe they can ever lead this country — who will vote an Ibo man except an Ibo man?

To them, Yorubas are evil and wicked. The hate them and won’t let them do anyhow they love in Lagos.

The Fulani and Hausas are nama. They are zoo keepers.

The SS are thugs, even their overlord Asari has seen beyond the Ibo sham.

Their only messiah is Atiku — a Fulani man

They’d rather have Peter Obi run as his vice and beg the Yorubas not to dare produce a presidential candidates coz they want to become vice president. Till today, the average Ibo man hatred for Tinubu is because he loots Lagos money while people like Kalu, Obi, Nnamani are celebrated saints who never stole a dime. They’d even die for these scums.

Ayim, you better contest for vice, clinch with Atiku maybe your people will rally around u.
