“With your experience and leadership, I believe that this step will inspire other leaders to join hands in unity for the growth and development of our nation. Welcome to APC, Distinguished Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim.”

On his part, the APC national chairman Ganduje described the coming of Anyim to the ruling party as a huge blessing owing to his wealth of experience.

A statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the APC National Chairman, Edwin Olofu, said Ganduje, who personally received the former Senate President alongside other defectors into the party, expressed delight over the development.

“Today I’m elated to receive such an important personality to our party, I want to assure you on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Timubu that you are welcome to the largest political party in black and white Africa. Be rest assured that we will give you equal opportunity like old members of our party so that you can come to the table with your huge experience and followership,” he assured.

Ganduje further insisted that the South-East geo-political zone can not continue to be in the opposition, urging the region to join the mainstream politics.

In his remarks, Senator Anyim revealed his former political party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State, has resolved to collapse its structures to the APC.
