Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, who chairs the Progressives Governors’ Forum, has officially presented former Senate President Pius Anyim to President Bola Tinubu.
Anyim, who was the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) under ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, recently switched allegiance from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
After meeting with Tinubu, Uzodimma addressed State House reporters, praising the current administration’s support for the South East region.
He highlighted the South East Governors Forum’s satisfaction and gratitude towards the President’s efforts, noting that an entire local government area had recently come under APC control due to the administration’s performance.

His defection to the APC, along with his supporters, took place during the grand finale of the APC campaign for the Local Government Area elections in Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi State.
Joining Anyim in his defection were former Senator and PDP Gubernatorial Candidate in the 2023 general elections, Sen. Obinna Ogba, Labour Party’s Chief Edward Nkwegu, and several former members of the National and State Assemblies, as well as former Local Government Area Chairmen.
All these political figures transitioned from the opposition to the APC.
