"A good turn they say deserves another. Looking at his portfolio as the former Senate President, Federal Republic of Nigeria and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, there is no doubt that he has acquired both the legislative and administrative knowledge and as such remains the best candidate to lead Nigeria to a greater height from Igbo extraction.
"Nigerians who know his antecedents, political and leadership prowess have been pushing and waiting for him to declare his interest to run for the Presidency.
"I am urging every Nigerian to keep aside tribalism and sentiment and look inward for that leader who has the technical know-how to steer Nigeria to the route of greatness and harmony. Nigeria as a country needs a leader like Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim who knows Nigeria in and out to come onboard.
"I urge all Igbo leaders to form a common front behind this worthy son and bury all personal sentiments and push for the betterment of Nigeria.
"Most importantly, I am seizing this opportunity to urge the government of Nigeria under the leadership of President Mohammed Buhari to still consider the plea of the Igbo elders over the release of our son, brother Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally which will help subdue the ongoing agitations in Nigeria.
"I strongly believe that if the pleas of the Igbo are heard, Nigeria will look like a new born country of 1960s. God bless Nigeria!"
