2023: I Will Contest For Presidency Even Without Zoning – Anyim
Former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim, has said that with zoning or no zoning, he is contesting for the office of the president in 2023.

“I am not running because the party’s ticket will be zone to my region,” Anyim said adding, “I have good knowledge of the country. I am not seeking to lead a region but the entire country,” Anyim said during an interactions with multi-media publishers in Abuja on Thursday.
“Whether zoning or no zoning, I will contest. I am contesting because I have something to offer to Nigerians,” Anyim said.
Anyim who said the offices he held in the past have groomed him for the task ahead, disclosed further that Nigerians will see the difference if he emerged president in 2023.
“The two offices I served in the past are not the same. I’ve headed the parliament, but i have not head the executive.
“I brought stability to the Senate, I want to bring stability to the country. If you want to see what I did as SGF, you can look at the Godluck Jonathan’s presidency.
“I have not been president that is why I am vying for the office. I have a good knowledge on how to manage our diversity. I have aquaire a lot of experience to run the affairs of the country,” the former Senate President said.
