2023 Presidency: Buhari Picks Anyim As Preferred Candidate

An erstwhile presidential aspirant, Ahmed Buhari has endorsed former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim for the Presidency in 2023.

Buhari said Anyim is the perfect person to lead Nigeria in 2023, considering his records in the red chamber.

He noted that Anyim was able to stabilize the National Assembly when he was the Senate President.

Buhari spoke on Arise TV’s Morning Show while advocating for a Nigerian President of Southeast extraction.

He noted that the southeast remains the only region in the country that is yet to produce a president since 1999.

“Southeast is the only zone in the entire south that has not produced the president of Nigeria since the advent of Democracy in 1999.

“But among all of them that have indicated interest in the presidency from the southeast, if given the opportunity to choose, Anyim stands out,” he said.

According to him, Anyim performance in the Senate as its president when the National Assembly was in turmoil, his stabilizing roles at that point, marked him out as one who could be entrusted with leadership and he will be sure to deliver.

Stating further, Buhari recalled that Anyim’s role in the office of secretary to the government of the federation where he was the head of all ministries and agencies and how he managed a rancour free civil servants without being a career civil servant he said, is another thing anyone should not over look in choosing a candidate for next presidential election.

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.

Most political stakeholders have been agitating for the southeast to produce the country’s next president.
