The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced that former Senate President and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, is set to join the party.

Eko Hot Blog reports that the APC stated that it has made significant efforts to attract the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Leader, and Anyim has agreed to make the switch.

It said this was why his pictures were used in the local government and councilorship elections APC rally held in Ivo, the former ex-SGF local government, yesterday.

APC Ebonyi Chairman, Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha, who stated this during the rally, described Anyim as a critical stakeholder of the APC.

He said on July14, everyone will know that Anyim is a critical stakeholder of APC in the South East.

“I took it personal to be going to him on the need to join us because it will not be possible for the entire Southeast to be negotiating without a man like him.

“I have made frantic and personal efforts and met him in Abuja on the need to join us because of his wealth of experience.

“He is such a wonderful personality and there is no way you can put his picture in our(APC) rally program without his consent. He has already confirmed to be part of APC and that is why his picture is allowed in our program today.
