Anyim: I didn’t boycott PDP zonal meeting
By Ogochukwu Anioke, Abakaliki
A Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Senator Anyim Pius Ayim has denied boycotting the Southeast zonal meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The meeting held in Enugu State on Monday.
Anyim was reacting to reports which said he boycotted the meeting which was convened to discuss the Anambra State governorship election. He described the reports as the handiwork of mischief makers.
He said: “I was very early to the meeting, and was very conspicuous. I participated in every stage of the meeting. I was even the last to leave because I was interacting with some party, stakeholders, including the governor of Enugu State. The meeting was not even a caucus or leaders meeting, it was purely for Anambra election.

“There are no issues of leadership, principally because the natural zonal headquarters is in Enugu, and the governor was the host. For his effective coordination of Anambra election and other matters that he has been doing so well, we formally named him Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi the zonal leader.
“It is out of mere terrible desperation that anybody can lie to this extent. For anyone to say I was absent at a meeting I officiated from beginning to the end, participated prominently, is pure desperation. And may God forgive the person.”
Anyim also denied having rifts with the zonal Caretaker Committee Chairman, Ali Odefa.
“There is no feud between me and Odefa. He even followed me home. We have been here together. So, how can there be any feud between us, for what?”
