Former Senate President, Adolphus Wabara; Senate Minority
Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe; among other notable politicians on Monday

Anyim Pius for president.
Wabara, who represented Abia South Senatorial Zone in the
National Assembly, and Abaribe made this known while addressing southeast
stakeholders during a civic reception organized by the Obingwa community to

of the prominent Igbo men that has the capacity to change the ugly narrative of
Nigeria and bring new hope for the people.

in Nigeria. Anyim is the only Igbo man to announce his readiness to contest for
President of Nigeria come 2023.

Igboland. I ask Ndigbo to support the ambition of our brother, Anyim Pius
Anyim.”
Responding, Abaribe reaffirmed his stance to galvanize
support for a president of Igbo extraction come the 2023 general election.
He declared his readiness to fully support the presidential
ambition of Anyim: “My brother is the only one that has declared his intention
to run for the office of the president, I will give him all the support because
he has all it takes to make Nigeria better again. therefore, I encourage all
Nigerians to support this noble intention.”
Those in attendance include all former senate presidents
from the six geopolitical zones of the country, prominent stakeholders of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Igbo leaders.
In a related development, Wabara and other notable Igbo sons
were conferred with the chieftaincy title of ‘Maduforo Ndi-Ngwa’.
