He said this at the 2022 Annual Political Parties Summit organised by Inter-Party Advisory Council on Wednesday in Abuja.
Anyim, also former Secretary to the government of the Federation (SGF) in a statement issued Sunday in Abuja by the Spokesperson of his Presidential campaign Organization, Ahmed Buhari, commended the 2022 PDP Special Convention Committee for successfully conducting the primary.
Anyim disclosed that 30 years he had spent in government have given him knowledge on how to tackle the nation’s incessant challenges.
The endorsement took place at an iftar meeting, hosted by Anyim in Abuja to break fast with members of the community.
Anyim stated this on Monday in Jos when he interacted with Plateau State delegates ahead of the party’s primaries.
According to Anyim, who was also a former President of the Senate, the anti-graft agency never invited him, adding rather, he went there himself when he got information that someone under investigation mentioned his name.
It was learnt the interrogation was based on N780million out of a lump sum allocated to a rehabilitation project in Oduah’s ministry allegedly traced to a company in which Senator Anyim has interest.

Chief David Nweze Umahi.”
The Spokesman of the commission, Wilson Uwujaren, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday that Anyim was being held over an “ongoing investigation”.
Anyim had through his lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), approached the court by an ex-parte application brought pursuant to Order 5 Rules 3 and 4 of the Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure) Rules 2009 and Section 35 (1) of the 1999 Constitution
