He also debunked accusations that the South-East lacks skilled hands to succeed Buhari in 2023, claiming that the region has highly qualified individuals who have expressed interest in the position.

Buhari named aspirants from the South East that have declared their presidential ambition as Orji Kalu, Rochas Okorocha, Dave Umahi, Kingsley Mighalu and Anyim Pius Anyim.

He, however, said that among all of them that have indicated an interest in the presidency from South East, former Senate President Anyim stands out.

Buhari said Anyim performance as the Senate President marked him out as one who could be entrusted with leadership and he will be sure to deliver.

Stating further, Buhari recalled Anyim’s role in the office of Secretary to the Government of the federation where he managed rancour-free civil servants without being a career civil servant.

Buhari also noted that Anyim’s disposition on restructuring gives him out as a leader who is ready to listen and carry everyone along.

He, therefore, maintained that Anyim’s roles so far at the national level distinguish him out as one with the best exposure and experience to provide the desired leadership to Nigeria.
