Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, a former secretary to the government of the federation, has criticized the PDP’s National Working Committee for excluding him from the party. Also, he stated that he had no regrets about helping the All Progressives Congress win the governor’s race in his own state of Ebonyi.
Anyim, a candidate for the party’s presidential nomination in 2022, advised the leadership to cover their faces in shame rather than take credit for the party’s defeat in those and other elections. Additionally, he said that the party’s inability to offer the suspended members a fair hearing before taking such action rendered it null and void.
The PDP National Working Committee on Thursday suspended the former Senate President for alleged anti-party conduct. But, he underlined in a statement on Friday that rather than further fracturing the party, the NWC should focus on how to advance it.
