President Bola Tinubu formally received a former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim, into the All Progressives Congress on Wednesday.

Anyim, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation during President Goodluck Jonathan’s tenure, recently decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party to the APC.

Tinubu welcomed Anyim to the Presidential Villa in Abuja, where he was presented by a delegation led by Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, and Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru.

Anyim expressed his commitment to Nigeria’s progress, stating, “There is need that we all should put hands together to move the country forward.”

He announced his decampment on Saturday, July 13, 2024, when he led a contingent of his supporters into the APC fold during the party’s Local Government Area election campaign finale in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State capital.

Anyim led a large delegation of prominent individuals, comprising former lawmakers, governorship candidates, and thousands of their supporters, from various parties, including the Labour Party’s Edwin Nkwegu and Senator Obinna Ọgba, into the APC fold.

APC leaders, including National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, Uzodinma, Governor Francis Nwifuru, Minister of Works, David Umahi, and State Chairman Stanley Emegha, had welcomed the new members into the party fold.
