President Bola Tinubu welcomed former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim into the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday.
Anyim expressed his commitment to Nigeria’s progress, stating, “There is a need that we all should put hands together to move the country forward.”
Anyim defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the APC, announcing his defection on July 13, 2024, during the party’s Local Government Area election campaign finale in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State capital.
Anyim led a large delegation of prominent individuals, including former lawmakers, governorship candidates, and thousands of their supporters, from various parties into the APC fold.
APC leaders, including National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru, Minister of Works David Umahi, and State Chairman Stanley Emegha, welcomed the new members into the party fold.
President Tinubu received Anyim at the Presidential Villa, where he was presented by a delegation led by Uzodimma and Nwifuru.
