The President of the 9th Senate, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Ayim Pius Ayim has vowed to help move Nigeria forward.
The statement came after his visit to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the presidential Villa following his defection to the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Ayim who served as the Senate President under the umbrella of the People’s Democratic Party, (PDP) said he is not joining the APC to seek for work, but rather to contribute his quota in bringing Nigeria forward.
Accompanying Anyim to meet with Tinubu were the Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, and Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru.
Briefing journalists after the meeting, the former SGF said he joined the ruling party to contribute his quota towards the country’s development.
He said he was committed to Nigeria’s progress, stating, “There is a need that we all should put hands together to move the country forward.”
“I have a determination to be sure that the country moves on the right path and I should be available to contribute my quota.
“Contributing quota does not necessarily mean to work but to engender a conducive atmosphere for progress, I am not looking for work.
“But there is a need that given the challenges the country is facing today, we all need to put all hands on deck to make the country move forward.
“The country is passing through turbulent times and it is the duty of all patriots to ensure a peaceful atmosphere,” he said.
