Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator Anyim Pius Anyim has dismissed report that he did not show up at Enugu PDP zonal meeting.
Anyim who made the denial in a statement issued
by his Media Office and endorsed by Judy Oko-Amanta, Director, described the publication as a huge falsehood which remains the handiwork of those agents of the State Government, who are mischievously bent on causing chaos in the main opposition party in the country (the PDP).
Recall that Ebonyreporters had reported that the former President of the Senate and Secretary to Government of the Federation, Chief Anyim Pius Anyim (Oshimiri 1 of Ndigbo), boycotted the South-East PDP Stakeholders Meeting, held in Enugu on Monday. The faceless and government attack-dog-like medium, also went further to report that Anyim did not show up at the event, because of leadership crisis currently rocking the party in the zone and was equally angry with the party, because he was not made the Leader of the PDP in the zone by Chief Ali Odefa, who allegedly preferred Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, to him (Chief Anyim).
The statement reads:
"Our attention has been drawn to a publication by EbonyiReporters.com, a faceless and mischievous online platform of state's agents".
"There is no iota of truth in the publication, ditched out by EbonyiReporters, a faceless online medium, whose purveyors are appointees of the Ebonyi State Government".
"It is important, also, to note that the South-East PDP Stakeholders Meeting, held in Enugu, on Monday, was held because of the Anambra State election that is coming up soon and it was to discuss the issues concerning the party in Anambra State".
"It is also worthy of note to Anyim's traducers, that before and during the meeting, there was no contest about leadership. The party only resolved to formalise the Governor of Enugu State, who has been playing the role of the leader of the party in the zone, to continue to lead the activities of the party, even, Anambra".
"The Governor of Enugu State, Chief Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, has been the natural leader of the PDP in the zone, who hosts all the meetings and therefore, there was no contest whatever about leadership".
"The PDP only formalised Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi's position as the natural leader of the party, to continue to effectively direct its activities in the zone".
"This is a huge falsehood and remains the handiwork of these agents of the State Government, who are mischievously bent on causing chaos in the main opposition party in the country (the PDP)".
"Everybody saw that the former Senate President, Chief Anyim Pius Anyim, was conspicuously present at the South-East PDP Stakeholders Meeting, in Enugu, on Monday and participated fully in all the sessions of the meeting and ensured that the went well and orderly".
"It sends a puzzle across our minds, why somebody would think a former Senate President and a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, would desperately and allegedly pick offence with a party he helped to nurture, just because he wasn't made its Leader in the zone".
"Also, we want to state categorically that there is no rift between the former Secretary to Government of the Federation and the South-East PDP. Chief Anyim does not and has never shown any interest in becoming the leader of the PDP in South-East. He has other crucial national engagements, especially from the National Secretariat of the party, which keeps him busy, than the mere issue of becoming Leader of South-East PDP where he plays advisory role, as a father".
"Chief Anyim is currently moving from zone to zone, across the country with the immediate past Senate President, Sen Bukola Saraki and others, in reconciling aggrieved members of the party, ahead of 2023. This is key for the party at this time".
"For the Oshimiri 1 of Ndigbo, the issues of stabilising the PDP and reconciling aggrieved members, is more important than who leads the party in the region".
"EbonyiReporters.com should focus on the critical issue involving the brother-in-law of the first family, who was arrested and paraded for kidnapping in Abuja, on Monday and pray the situation doesn't get out of hand". The statement stated.
