. . . Congratulates new EXCO Committee

Frontline Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 2023 presidential aspirant, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim has condemned in its strongest of terms, what he describes as “the vicious and senseless inversion of the venue of Zamfara State PDP congress and the assault on innocent PDP members by thugs sponsored by individuals who use public resources and positions of authority to intimidate innocent law-abiding citizens”.

While the former Senate president strongly condemns thuggery, violence, politics of hate and intolerance, he recalls, with regret, a similar action in Ebonyi State on the 29th of December, where hired thus and hoodlums invaded and disrupted a civic reception organized in honour of Ebonyi State PDP Chairman, Mr. Ugochukwu Okorie, by his Okposi community in Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State. Anyim noted in a statement issued by Sam Nwaobasi, media aide to the presidential aspirant that the dangerous spate of is beginning to rise as 2023 draws nearer.

He therefore, reminds perpetrators of violence and their sponsors that their actions and activities are making life more difficult for innocent citizens and tarnishing the image of Nigeria in the global community.

Congratulating the members of the new Zamfara State Executive Committee on the successful conclusion of the state congress despite the antics of some enemies of democracy and Nigeria who thought they could prevent the holding of the congress, Anyim said is a proof of quality of leadership who emerged.

Anyim also noted that the new Zamfara State PDP Chairman, Col. Bala Mande (rtd) a dependable and courageous leader, who has served Nigeria diligently as former military Administrator of Nasarawa State from August 1998 to May, 1999 and later as Hon. Minister of Environment from July, 2003 to June 2005.

He said Mande will bring his wealth of experience to bear on the running of the affairs of Zamfara State chapter of PDP.

Anyim further expressed confident that with the caliber of leaders elected to serve in the Zamfara State executive Committee with “Mande, PDP is surely on its way to recovering Zamfara State come 2023”.

According to Anyim, “The rare courage and resilience of PDP members in Zamfara State, who stood their grounds, endured untold intimidation, physical assault, suffered huge loss of personal property, including vehicles and the vandalization of the State party headquarters, when hired thugs invaded the venue of the State congress and disrupted the proceedings are particularly worthy of commendations.”

Anyim urged Bala Mande-led Zamfara State executive Committee to remain focused, bold, fearless and upright in the discharge of their duties.

He charged the Zamfara State PDP members, other PDP members all over the country and all Nigerians to remain hopeful that Nigeria will again, return to the era of peace, good governance and respect for the rule of Law from the 29th of May, 2023 by the grace of God and collective will of Nigerians.
