Former Senate President and frontline Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, has expressed confidence in the ability of Nigerians to overcome the numerous challenges facing the country today if only they can pull together as one people.
Anyim said this in a statement he personally signed on Thursday welcoming PDP delegates from across the country to Abuja for the party’s presidential election scheduled to hold this weekend.
The former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) said he was confident of emerging the party’s flag bearer having adequately prepared himself for the job.
Welcoming the delegates to Abuja, Anyim, who declared his intention to vie for the presidency in October 2021, long before many of the other aspirants made up their minds, said he has been prepared by his experience, exposure, capacity and competence to provide the leadership needed to reunite, rebuild and reposition Nigeria.
“I have abiding faith in God and unshakable confidence in the delegates to our national convention that I will emerge the candidate of the PDP for the 2023 presidential election,” Anyim wrote.

The statement titled, “Welcoming all our delegates from across the federation,” reads:
As we put final touches to our preparations for the presidential primary election of our great party coming up on the 28th and 29th of May, 2022, let me welcome all our delegates, from every state of the Federation and the FCT, to Abuja for this historic convention.
In October 2021, I declared my intention to contest for the office of president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria under the banner of our great party the PDP. I have consulted widely with party leaders, statesmen and opinion leaders across Nigeria. At every stage of my consultations, I have been humbled by the overwhelming encouragement, practical demonstration of support and partnership from eminent Nigerians and PDP party faithful across the nation, for which I remain eternally grateful.
I have presented my vision, which is to build a Nigeria all of us shall be proud of and my pathway to a greater Nigeria. I have harvested the views and opinions of Nigerians during my interactions with a broad spectrum of the society, on the way forward for our country. I am confident that the challenges we are facing today are not beyond our capacity if we can pull together as one people.
Having traversed the country many times. I understand the problems of our people and I have clarity on the solutions the current challenges facing our country demand. I therefore step out to serve Nigeria, in the office of president, out of my conviction that I have been prepared by my experience and exposure, capacity and competence, to provide the leadership needed to reunite, rebuild and reposition Nigeria. I have abiding faith in God and unshakable confidence in the delegates to our national convention that I will emerge the candidate of the PDP for the 2023 presidential election. I welcome you all to Abuja.
Together let us make history, let us make a greater Nigeria a reality.
Anyim Pius Anyim, GCON.
