Former Senate President Pius Anyim’s presidential ambition has been backed by the Peoples Democratic Party’s combined Minority Caucus in the National Assembly.
Anyim notified the caucus of his desire to compete for the country’s highest position at a meeting on Tuesday night at the Transcorp Hilton in Abuja.
Anyim informed the parliamentarians that he needed their permission since he couldn’t move forward without the backing of his main supporters.

“I said I needed to report myself to my primary constituency,” he explained. If you hear about this journey without this official consultation, I will feel obligated to speak with you separately.

“I can’t do it by myself. I won’t be able to accomplish it by myself. But if the individuals I’ll be doing it with give me a sidelong glance and say, “Don’t go,” I’ll stop where you want me to stop.

Eyinnaya Abaribe, the Senate Minority Leader, spoke on behalf of the joint caucus and endorsed Anyim’s candidacy, assuring him of their support.
Former legislators, he claims, make better executives in the long run.
“Something occurs everywhere in the globe,” he explained. Members of the National Assembly do far better than anybody else in executive positions because they understand how to manage the opposing side.
We understand that as one of our own, it’s impossible for us to advise you not to continue on your path.
It will be quite tough for us to do this.
