Pius Anyim consults Babangida, Abdulsalami over 2023 Presidency

Former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim has consulted two former military heads of state Ibrahim Gbadamosi Babangida and Abubakar Abdulsalami over the 2023 presidential election.

Taking to his Facebook page, Anyim wrote: “I met with former President Ibrahim Babangida and former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar. I consulted with them on my intention to contest for the presidency of our beloved country. Both leaders are rich in vision and deep in the grasp of our history. They were generous with their wise counsels.

“I am further emboldened in the conviction that I can make significant contributions in our collective quest to consolidate democracy, build a stronger and more united Nigeria.

“I feel very enriched and invigorated. Long live Nigeria.”

It is widely believed that the 2023 president will come from the southern part of the country, leaving the southeast and south to jostle for the number one seat in the land.
