Former Senate President, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, has said with his experience of Nigeria’s challenges as a senate president and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, he is most qualified to be the country’s president in 2023.
He said as a loyal party man, who have made immense contributions and sacrifices for the advancement of PDP, he was optimistic of getting the party’s nod for the task ahead.
He spoke at his South-East Briefing and Consultation Session in Enugu on Thursday.
He said, “I have stood with our party, the PDP, in good and bad times. Like most loyal party members, I have had my moments of elation, as well as some difficult times but I never moved. I have never switched parties. Therefore, I make bold to say that I can be entrusted with the vision, mission, values and principles of PDP as a committed party man.
“I have been privileged to understand our national problems and appreciate their enormity and peculiarities in the last 21 years from my vantage positions in both the legislative and the executive arms of government. Therefore, I have a clear view of the task ahead as well as the solutions needed to advance the cause of our country.
“My record as President of the Senate and as Secretary to the Government of the Federation clearly show that I am more interested in building strong institutions than seeking enhancement of personal power or position. My records show effective and efficient management of the nation’s diversity on the basis of equity, justice, fairness and inclusiveness.
“I am a committed believer in the rule of law; and will always promote and protect the sanctity of lives as well as the rights and liberties of all citizens.”
