Former Senate President of Nigeria and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Pius Anyim has dropped a bombshell.

He said: “Any Nigerian with the impression that some inner caucus arrangement will produce the president in 2023 should come off it.”

“Maybe you still have the impression that it is Aso Rock that will ordain who the next president will be. I do not share that view.”

“I think with the new Electoral Act, people have more confidence that their votes will count.”

“Whether cabal or no cabal, I am going to give my first shot at the presidency and I will win.”

“I want to say that I will run an inclusive government and the principles of democracy would be deployed.”

“I am a young man with all respect and I have a whole lot of energy, so there is nothing to leave for anybody to do for me differently.”

“I will be hands-on on the job and get the job done. It is when you are not hands-on before that you allow some people to come.”

“As regards zoning, it is only fair that the PDP zoned its presidential ticket to the south, which should, in turn, micro-zone it to the South-East.”

“If the PDP decides not to follow its constitution, it will, in the long run, weaken the system which will no longer have the power to protect its members.”
