President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has received former Senate President, Pius Anyim, who recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Senator Anyim was led to President Tinubu at the State House, Abuja by the chairman of the Progressives Governors’ Forum (PGF), Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, and Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State.
On why he defected to the ruling party, Anyim said: “Given the challenges the country is facing, there’s a need to put our hands on deck. The country is passing through turbulent times and it is the duty of all patriots if you have nothing to add to ensure that you continue to the peaceful atmosphere.”
Uzodimma described Anyim as a big fish caught by the ruling party.
Also, Nwifuru said Anyim is not a small fry and is not looking for food.
