Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, has stated that he would still run for the presidency in the 2023 general elections even if the Peoples Democratic Party failed to zone the presidential ticket to the South-east.
Anyim, who spoke during a briefing and consultative session in the Southeast, recently, said the experience he had garnered over two decades in government has placed him in a vantage position to rescue Nigeria.
“I have also consulted with leaders and statesmen, party elders, and other critical stakeholders across the country. The purpose of the consultation is to gauge the mood of the nation, seek counsel, blessing and listen to leaders and elders on their perspectives on the way forward for our country. That is why I am here before you today my own people.

“…I will contest whether the presidency is zoned to the South or not. This is because if the presidency is zoned to the South-east, it will satisfy the just demand of equity and fairness. If it is not zoned to the South-east, it will remain a burden on the conscience of the nation.
“Let me, therefore, at this point join all well-meaning Nigerians to appeal to all the political parties to take the fair, just and equitable decision to zone their presidential slots to the South particularly the South-east.”
