The Ebonyi state chapter of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has vowed that it will support Anyim Pius Anyim in his presidential race.
According to the Chairman of PDP in the state, Mr. Tochuku Okorie, anyim is one Nigerian who is eminently qualified on his own irrespective of his state of origin to steer the current rudderless ship of Nigeria into a successful anchor.
Okorie stated that the Working Committee of the party had not to stand with Anyim just because he hails from Ebonyi state, but because his pedigree is unassailable, noting that his past is an elegant testimony of what his future holds for Nigeria.
The Chairman disclosed that Anyim had always come to the country’s rescue anytime Nigeria was in a perilous condition as it presently is.
He said,”marketing Anyim to Nigerians is very easy because he had rescued Nigeria in the past when the country was faced with similar challenges.”
He also emphasized the prominent roles Anyim played to stabilise the national Assembly when its Senate was in dilemma of peels and also when he again persuade the National Assembly to adopt the famous doctrine of Necessity that resolved the then political logjam during President Yar’Adua’s death.
He further disclosed that the state PDP has decided to reach out to other states executives of the party throughout the federation to woo and encourage them in order to draw more support for Anyim.
He said, the party also resolved to appeal and persuade the national working committee and national executive committee of the party to consider serious zoning of its presidency to South East.
