Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential hopeful in 2023, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, has urged the people of the North Central geopolitical zone to resist social injustice in Nigeria, reminding them that their zone and that of the southeast zone face similar problems in the country.
Anyim gave the exhortation on Monday, March 28, 2022, while addressing leaders and delegates of his Party, the PDP, in Jos, Plateau State Capital. He promised to make Jos an international city devoid of internal strife and crisis if he becomes Nigeria's President next year.
Speaking on the zoning of political offices, Senator Anyim said zoning simply means equity, fairness, justice and inclusiveness and urged the Plateau state PDP delegates to support zoning. By supporting zoning, Anyim told them, the North Central Zone would also win its battle to get its fair deal in Nigeria.
"If PDP wants to win this election, we must respect zoning. Zoning means fairness, Justice and equity", Anyim declared. He reminded the people that one of the reasons why PDP was voted out in 2015 was the accusation that the party violated the zoning principle.
Anyim told his audience that nobody is happy with the situation of Nigeria, saying that 2023 is a defining moment for the country.
On the development of Jos city, Anyim said it requires making it a Centre of learning and Tourism backed up by large farm settlements. This way, he stated, the city would accommodate everybody including foreign investors and at the same time reduce or eliminate crisis. He urged the delegates to support his aspiration for the General Development of Nigeria.
Responding, the PDP state chairman, Hon. Chris A. Hassan, said they were impressed by Anyim's credentials and experience and assured him of their support.
Most of the delegates spoke in support of zoning, insisting that it is part of PDP's consultation. Anyim's entourage was received into Jos, the state capital, by enthusiastic crowd of supporters. NNL.
