PDP Suspension: I’m proud of supporting APC candidate in Ebonyi, says Anyim

By Precious Oham

Former Senate President, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim said he did not regret supporting the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate in Ebonyi State.

Anyim, in a press statement, in Abuja, condemned his suspension by the National Working Committee, NWC, of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, describing it as disappointing.

According to him, the Ayu Iyorchia led executive failed the party and the people of Nigeria which led to the colossal loss of the party in the 2023 general elections.

The former Secretary to the State Government noted that his support for the APC guber candidate in Ebonyi was hinged on the zoning formular in the state.

According to him, “It smacks of arrogance for the NWC to put a bold face instead of showing remorse and being sober for leading the party to such colossal loss in the 2023 general elections, thereby dashing the hopes and expectations of party members and indeed Nigerians.

“In the case of Ebonyi State, the NWC imposed a candidate from the sitting Governor’s zone, contrary to the zoning formular in the state. Every effort to let the NWC see reasons fell on deaf ears.

“The NWC may wish to know that I am proud to have supported the APC gubernatorial candidate in Ebonyi State to win the election because that conforms to the equitable formular in Ebonyi State.”
