Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, says the decision by the former Senate President, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) would further spur development in the Southeast region and Nigeria in general.
It will be recalled that Anyim, who was also a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), formally defected to the APC in a public event on Saturday in Ebonyi State.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Levinus Nwabughiogu, on Sunday, Kalu, who graced the event, said that having served as Senate President in the legislature and SGF under the executive arm of government, Anyim is bringing his great wealth of experience to bear in the progress and development of the nation.
Kalu said: “It is my pleasure to welcome my big brother, the former Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, to our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“This decision is indeed a step in the right direction for the future of the Southeast and our nation, Nigeria.
“With your experience and leadership, I believe that this step will inspire other leaders to join hands in unity for the growth and development of our nation. Welcome to APC, Distinguished Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim.”
