Willing and Able, Capable and Competent: Anyim Emerges as South-east PDP Presidential Candidate | #IgbereTV

The 2023 presidential election would be one to watch keenly as aspirants start to put pre-campaign preparation in full gear ahead of the proper campaign tours and rallies. One question that had initially been asked in whispers, but has now gained more volume has been – “Will there be a President from the East?”. It’s been a tough couple of years for Nigerians, especially as post-pandemic moves are still being figured out; however, the eyes of Nigerians are wide open and watching.

Nigerians are not unaware of the shortcomings of the ruling party, and are currently looking up to the PDP to rebuild the nation; to protect lives and property; to restore the respect of Nigeria within the comity of Nations. Nigeria needs a strong torch bearer to re-align the political structure of Nigeria to reflect the current realities; to revive our economy and create a generally inclusive government where both the young and old can thrive and be successful.

Economy-wise, Nigerians need an experienced head to save the naira; to rebuild our broken-down social fabric; to create jobs for our teeming youths and rehabilitate our collapsing educational systems amongst many other things. With the expectation of PDP’s return to power by Nigerians, belief is fast rising that our nation can resume the march to greatness.

One candidate that has been earmarked as the torchbearer, who conveniently ticks all the boxes, and has a very experienced head on very agile shoulders, is Anyim Pius Anyim. During his recent meeting with party stakeholders in Enugu, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation said he is very much willing and available, ready and equipped to lead Nigeria on that march to greatness.

Truth be told, a lot of Nigerians who know Anyim Pius Anyim from his days as the Senate President have given him the green light because when compared to other aspirants, both in PDP and in other political parties, there are just a few that by experience and exposure, temperament and humility, capacity and competence, can match his record of service to Nigeria. No wonder there’s a clamour at this point for him to be the President.

For long, the Igbos or the South East, have rightly complained of political marginalization, and the absence of the opportunity to produce the President of the country, not minding their enormous contributions to the development of Nigeria. “No right candidate” has been the excuse for the longest time, but not anymore. Anyim Pius Anyim not only holds a credible record that qualifies him for the office; he has also for the first time, shown willingness to run.

No harm in trial

Make no mistake, I have always said, I do not blame us Igbos for the decision majority of us took in 2015. It's our right. But continuing to pretend that it was other regions, Buhari or the APC that made us do what we did then or remain where we are today is purely self deceit and I refuse to play that ostrich game. 

As far back as 2014, I and many others made that argument that Igbo Presidency was very feasible in 2023, ONLY under under the APC, ONLY IF we did a couple of things right politically. I personally continued to speak loudly on that even after the 2015 elections until when I realized that we were not ready to play the politics that was required and now I dare say it may be too late. Or is it not? Time will tell.

For now, we can continue to tell ourselves that we cannot hold the Presidency of Nigeria. I heard and read many of our brethren go from PDP to Biafra/seccesion (read IPOB) to Referendum to "Igbos do not need Presidency but Restructuring" etc forgetting that all that didn't lie squarely with us alone. We think other regions are not reading our body language?

I really don't care what Saraki writes or says because they've all come to realize that it's very easy to play us like a flute. So like Saraki, like Fani Kayode, like Fayose, like Atiku, even Jonah Jang of all people, they keep playing us.

I've learnt not to bother myself anymore to avoid unnecessary conversations with nonentities . As some of us have said, it's good governance we want, even if only one village will be producing the Presidents. So be it.

Ka Chineke mezie okwu.
