Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, who chairs the Progressives Governors\u2019 Forum, has formally introduced former Senate President Pius Anyim to President Bola Tinubu. This meeting, held at the State House, marks a significant moment following Anyim\u2019s recent defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n
Anyim, who previously served as Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) under ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, switched allegiances to the APC last week. His defection comes amid a period of heightened political activity and strategic realignments in Nigerian politics.<\/p>\n
Addressing State House reporters after the meeting, Governor Uzodimma praised the current administration for its ongoing support of the South East region. He expressed the gratitude of the South East Governors Forum for President Tinubu\u2019s efforts and highlighted recent political shifts in the region, noting that an entire local government area had recently aligned with the APC due to the administration\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a new dawn for Nigeria, and many have acknowledged that President Tinubu\u2019s administration is making significant strides,\u201d Uzodimma stated. \u201cMy determination is to see Nigeria move forward. It is essential that we all come together to advance our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pius Anyim echoed this sentiment, emphasizing his commitment to the progress of the country. He stressed the importance of collective effort in advancing Nigeria\u2019s development. Anyim, along with his supporters, defected to the APC during the grand finale of the APC campaign for the Local Government Area elections in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
