Former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim, has expressed admiration for the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, for daring to join an unpopular political party, move it from “nowhere to a position of reckoning” and use the same platform to become a forefront candidate in the February 25 presidential election.
Anyim, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), was one of the aspirants contending for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential ticket won by Atiku Abubakar. Obi had quit the PDP less than three days before its presidential primary election to join the Labour Party.
