Ex-Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim Joins Ruling All Progressives Congress
In a significant political development, former Senate President and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, has officially joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The news emerged on June 29, with reports indicating that Anyim had dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for APC.
On Saturday, Anyim was formally received into the party alongside other stakeholders in the Southeast, during a rally held at the Abakaliki Stadium. The event was attended by governors and other party stalwarts, including Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma.
Anyim’s decision to join APC is seen as a significant boost to the party’s chances in the upcoming elections. As a respected figure in Nigerian politics, his addition to the APC roster is expected to bring valuable experience and influence to the party.
The event marked a significant milestone in the party’s efforts to strengthen its presence in the Southeast, a region that has traditionally been dominated by the PDP. With Anyim on board, APC is poised to make a stronger impact in the region and beyond.
As the political landscape in Nigeria continues to evolve, Anyim’s move is likely to have far-reaching implications for the country’s political future. Only time will tell how his new affiliation will shape the direction of the APC and the country’s political landscape as a whole.
