Former President of the Senate, Anyim Pius Anyim, said he would pick a woman as his running mate if he wins the Peoples Democratic Party ticket to contest the presidential election in 2023.
The Anyim spoke in a meeting with the former members of the National Working Committee of the party, in his Abuja campaign office.
In a statement on the development, the former Senate President noted that PDP has always encouraged the participation of women in politics.
“I will choose a woman as my vice president if I have my way,” Anyim said.
The former NWC members of the PDP, who met with Anyim for an interactive session in his office, were led by Kema Chikwe.
Chikwe noted that the visit was mainly to understand what they would tell other people about Anyim that marks him out as unique and what stands him out among other aspirants.
Anyim spoke on his roles both as president of the Senate and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, as his distinguishing factors.
“I brought peace, I brought love and I brought understanding to the legislature and the nation at large as I stabilised the system,” he said.
Anyim promised that the same principles that guided his wisdom in leading the Senate will as well determine his approach to governing the country as its President.
