    Atiku appoints Saraki, Anyim, Shekarau, others as advisers

    Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has appointed former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, as his special envoy.

    Atiku, in a statement by his media aide, said former Secretary to Government of the Federation ( SGF), Anyim Pius Anyim, and former PDP national chairman, Uche Secondus would serve as Special and Technical Advisers respectively to the PDP presidential candidate.

    Others appointed as special advisers are former governors of Kano and Osun states, Ibrahim Shekarau and Olagunsoye Oyinlola as well as Senator Ehigie Uzamere.

    The former vice president charged all the new appointees to use their vast political experiences in ensuring that the PDP presidential campaign records resounding success in the 2023 election.

    Meanwhile, former National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, has said Atiku embodies the hope and aspiration of Nigerians for a new order in the country.

    Ologbondiyan, in an interactive session with journalists, said the former vice president stood out as the presidential candidate who best “understands the nuances of our country and who is endowed with the required experience, capacity, presence of mind as well as the national acceptance needed to move the nation forward.

    “Without prejudice to regional, ethnic and religious sentiment, Nigerians are united in their desire for a leader they can trust; a leader that can unite our nation and not a regional champion, a leader that has the capacity to revamp the economy, a leader who has the patriotic resolve to secure lives and property in the country. Already, there is an emerging national consensus that only Atiku Abubakar meets these criteria.

    “Nigerians are convinced that Atiku Abubakar is the only candidate among the rank of presidential aspirants who has the practicable solutions for our challenges as a nation, including issues of national unity, reducing high cost of governance, education, health care, revamping of the economy by providing stimulus for the informal sector among others.”

    Ologbondiyan, while lamenting that the last seven years of the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration have been replete with tales of terrorism, mass killings and untold hardship, charged PDP leaders to unite and join forces with Nigerians to end APC’s vicious stranglehold on the country.

  • I’ll convert our diversities into asset – Anyim

    I’ll convert our diversities into asset – Anyim

    Anyim Pius Anyim, former secretary to the government of the federation (SGF) and presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has identified the inability of leaders to manage the country’s diversities as the major challenges bedeviling the nation.

    He told an online medium recently that his years of experience in governance in Nigeria, his deep knowledge of the country, would enable him to run an inclusive government that will build consensus, restore peace, refocus Nigeria and make the country a place that everyone will be proud of.

    He boasted that he will give every segment of this country comfort and “I will provide a leadership that will understand how to wield our diversities into an asset.”

    Anyim believes that management of the country diversities is actually central to the success of the country. His confidence in achieving this goal, he said, is buoyed by the fact that he has interacted with various segments of the country and participated in running government that affected every part of the country. With such background, he claims, that he knows the needs of our diverse groups and knows how to put it together for the utmost benefit of the people. The way to go, he explained is to create a policy thrust that will be all inclusive. According to him, “the actual problem of Nigeria is leadership failures to manage our diversities”. He therefore assured that if given the opportunity to rule the country, “I will fix the discordant feelings among various tribes, Regions and ethnic groupings and convert our diversities into assets”.

    Anyim faced similar challenges when he assumed the leadership of the national Assembly as president of the Senate.

    When the office of the president of the Senate was so slippery that successive leaders hardly lasted beyond certain limits, Anyim brought leadership paradigms that ensured the stability of the upper chambers of the parliament till date.
