Anyim, a PDP presidential aspirant in the 2023 elections, stated that he joined the APC to support the government during these “turbulent times.” He emphasized that all patriots have a duty to ensure the country maintains a peaceful atmosphere.
When asked why he was leaving the PDP, Anyim responded, “Can you look back at the history of the PDP and tell me how many leaders the PDP has produced that had joined the APC or another party at any particular point in time? It’s common.”
“But importantly, I am determined to be sure that the country moves on the right path and I should be available to contribute my quota.”
Asked if he could not have contributed his quota from the opposition party, the former Senate President said: “Contributing quota does not necessarily mean to work, but to engender a conducive atmosphere for progress.
