Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim, says he will return Nigeria to how it was before the All Progressives Congress (APC) assume power in 2015.
Anyim, who’s also PDP presidential aspirant, stated that Nigerians are yearning for a return to pre-2015 era, adding that he would continue where ex-President Goodluck Jonathan stopped.
Anyim made this known while addressing former members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party on Friday
Anyim said “We had a systematic plan to refocus the economy. Put the country on the part of peace and prosperity.”
He described himself as a crisis manager who has what it takes to tackle the prevailing situation in the country.
He noted that call for a return to 2015 by Nigerians was a valid reason to support his aspiration, adding that “At the senate I inherited a troubled senate, but I stabilized the senate.”
“If you remember then our economy was rebased, Nigeria economy became the largest in Africa. Today where are we. There were policies we put in place to encourage foreign investors, but these are things we don’t do overnight, you have to be systematic. If you support me we can return this country to the path of peace, progress and prosperity.
“The mistake that we must not make is the mistake that was made in 2015. In 2015, some of us in PDP simply decided to pull out of party and we were plunged into darkness that is why we are here today. We have to rescue this country.”
The former senate president said the country needs a stabiliser, a crisis manager and these are things that he is known for.
Anyim also said, “All through my service life, I had always worked in the presidency. I have not worked anywhere outside the presidency in all my life. As a civil servant, I worked in a parastatal under the presidency, as president of the senate working alongside the president and eventually as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation which is the engine room of the presidency.”
