The Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma, and Benjamin Kalu, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, have expressed their approval of the recent political move by former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim.
Naija News reports that Anyim was officially welcomed into the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) along with other defectors from the Southeast region of the country on Saturday by the party’s national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje.
This ceremony occurred at the Abakaliki Stadium in Ebonyi State.
On Sunday, Uzodinma praised Anyim for becoming part of the progressive movement, highlighting his strong support network.
The South-East APC coordinator said: “Anyim’s involvement strengthens our collective efforts to build our region for the benefit of our people.”
Kalu, the representative of Bende Federal Constituency of Abia State in the House of Representatives, viewed Anyim’s choice as a positive move towards advancing the South-East region and the country as a whole.
“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,” the deputy speaker said.
NLC: Why Some People Are Fighting Julius Abure – Nasarawa Labour Party Reveals
Meanwhile, the Labour Party’s Nasarawa State chapter has expressed its firm backing for Julius Abure, the embattled National Chairman of the party, amidst the ongoing disagreement with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
The state party Chairman, Alexander Ombugu, asserted that Abure is facing opposition due to his transparency as a leader.
Naija News reports that Ombugu conveyed this message during an interview with journalists in Lafia, the state capital.
Ombugu emphasized that the party’s leaders and members in Nasarawa State stand by Abure’s leadership with unwavering loyalty and dedication.
He elaborated that Abure is encountering difficulties due to his transparent leadership approach, which some individuals find discomforting and strive to remove him from his position.
“It is disheartening that the NLC is not aligning with the National Chairman despite his efforts to bring the party to prominence and the numerous achievements he has recorded since his election.
“On this issue happening at the national level of our dear party, what I will say is that all of us in the Nasarawa State Labour Party are solidly behind our National Chairman, Julius Abure.
“Some people are only fighting him because the man is too good. They are fighting him because he is a transparent leader. We love him and we will continue to stand by him.
“However, I am surprised that the NLC are having some issues with him. It should not be so because Abure has achieved a lot for the Labour Party.
“They should rather see how to support him to take the party to greater heights, instead of the disagreements which are capable of taking the party backwards,” Ombugu stated.
