President Bola Tinubu has formally received Pius Anyim, a former president of the senate, into the fold of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Anyim defected to the ruling party in his ward in Ebonyi state last week.

Hope Uzodimma, governor of Imo, and Francis Nwifuru, governor of Ebonyi, led the former secretary to the government of the federation (SGF) to the Aso Rock villa on Wednesday.

Speaking with reporters after meeting with the president, the former senate president said the administration of Tinubu is doing well to cater to the needs of citizens.

He said there is a need for Nigerians to come together and ensure that the country progresses.

“This is a new dawn, and many people have agreed that the present administration is doing very well,” Anyim said.

“My determination is that Nigeria moves forward. There is a need that we all should put hands together to move the country forward.”

Anyim, who has been a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) since 1999, and Onyewuchi are two bigwigs the ruling party has gained in two weeks.
