A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and presidential aspirant on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, Pius Anyim, has said that no cabal in Nigeria’s seat of power would impose on the country who the next president will be.
Anyim dispelled the insinuations that some inner caucus arrangement would produce the president in 2023. He noted that he would have his first shot at the presidential seat in 2023 and would win it with or without any cabal.

The former President of the Senate spoke while featuring on a programme, Political Roundtable, on Lagos Mainland FM on Sunday.
Responding to a caller who wanted to know how he would deal with Aso Rock “cabal” should he become Nigeria’s next president, Anyim said, “Maybe you still have the impression that it is Aso Rock that will ordain who the next president will be. I do not share that view.
“I think with the new Electoral Act, people have more confidence that their votes will count.
“Whether cabal or no cabal, I am going to give my first shot at the presidency and I will win.”
Speaking on zoning, Anyim reiterated that it was only fair that the PDP zoned its presidential ticket to the south, which should, in turn, micro-zone it to the South-East.
