BREAKING: Former Senate President, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim Move To APC [PHOTOS]—Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, Saturday, defected to the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Anyim’s defection to APC was announced by the state Chairman of APC, Stanley Emegha, in Ivo local government area about two weeks ago during the party rally for council election slated for July 20, 2024.
Anyim officially joined APC during the grand finale of the rally for the elections of chairmen and councillors at Pa Nwele Orita township stadium Abakaliki.
Others who joined the party were Chief Edward Nkwegu, 2023 governorship candidate with the Labour Party (LP), and his deputy Mr. Nwabueze Ajah, former state House of Assembly members of PDP, LP members, APGA members among others.
Joining the party, Anyim noted that Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi state provided a level-playing ground in the state which attracted them to APC.
The decampees were received into party by the National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Umahi Ganduje.
On his part, the Minister of Works and Transport, Engr. David Umahi, noted that Anyim has been helping APC especially during the 2023 general election but that he only officially joined the party.
“To our Son and my friend the former Senate President of Nigeria, you have been one of the people that encourage me to join APC but then I refused saying it will distract me.
“I’m sorry that when I joined APC I did it without you. During the general election, Anyim worked for APC but today you are officially joining the party,” he said.
