All eyes will be on the national headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today, Wednesday, April 13, 2022 as the frontline presidential aspirant, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, will this morning take two consequential steps in his quest to becoming the flagbearer of the main opposition political party in the 2023 presidential election.

The former President of the Senate will hand in his completed nomination and expression of interest forms at the national secretariat of the PDP at Wadata House.- 

Thereafter, he will address the National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP where he will unveil his agenda.

The former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), first hinted of today’s events in Bayelsa State on Monday when he informed PDP delegates that he will be addressing the NWC of the party on Wednesday where he will unveil his agenda.

“I will be addressing the NWC of our great party at the secretariat in Abuja where I will lay out my agenda. 

“I understand Nigeria, I know what the issues are and what needs to be done to salvage the situation. All these will be unambiguously articulated on Wednesday,” Anyim told his excited audience.

The PDP National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, confirmed that Anyim will be meeting with members of the NWC at 11 am.

 –

A source close to the campaign organisation, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorised to talk to the media, said the speech will be all encompassing.

“Nigerians will be pleased with what they will hear from Senator Anyim this morning. He has always said that he understands the challenges facing the country and he is equally clear-headed on what needs to be done to pull Nigeria back from the brink.

“So, what he will do this morning is to present an informed pathway to rebuilding and refocusing the country on the path of growth, peace and prosperity.”

The source said the agenda is not the manifesto.

“Anyim believes that it is the responsibility of the party to articulate its policies and programmes, which then becomes its manifesto. 

“So, the agenda Sen. Anyim is unveiling today is his personal pathway to giving meaning to PDP manifesto.”

Some support groups had on Thursday, March 24, bought the expression of interest and nomination forms for Anyim.

The forms were thereafter presented to him in Abuja by the representatives of the various groups.

By Gloria Akudoro   The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, has launched the Zamfara State Electricity Policy alongside two commissioned solar plants of 2.5MW capacity to boost electricity supply.  Tegbe also broke foundation for 36 solar minigrids across nine local government areas, projects expected to power nearly 147,000 homes and businesses upon completion.   Speaking in Gusau alongside Governor Dauda Lawal, the Managing Director of Rural Electrification Agency, Abba Aliyu, Development Partners, and Traditional and Community Leaders, the Minister credited the initiatives to the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.  "The initiatives put the Renewed Hope Agenda into practice by “turning reform and investment into better public services, cleaner transport and more dependable electricity for homes and businesses,” he said.  The commissioned plants are a 1MW mini grid / 2.4MW BESS at the Ahmed Sani Yariman Bakura Specialist Hospital, which will help doctors operate with greater confidence and preserve essential medicines, and a 1.5MW / 3.6MW BESS for the Government House and its auxiliary facilities which will eliminate dependence on diesel based power generation.   Of the mini grids, the interconnected projects in Gusau and Kaura Namoda will improve supply on the existing distribution network, while the other 34 will serve communities beyond the grid’s present reach.  Zamtaxi, also unveiled, opens opportunities for drivers, technicians and young entrepreneurs in cleaner transport.   According to the statement on Wednesday by the Federal Ministry of Power, Tegbe credited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose assent to the Electricity Act 2023 created greater room for states and investors to participate in the sector. He pledged the Ministry’s support “to translate this policy into effective institutions and improved service.”   The Minister, while congratulating Zamfara on 30 years of statehood,  urged host communities to protect the assets as their own and to report vandalism and theft promptly.  He also commended the Executive Governor for driving and sponsoring the two (2) commissioned minigrid projects amongst other solar powered projects in the state, including solar power for 15 general hospitals 800 schools and 70 Primary Health Care facilities.   The Zamfara 36 minigrid projects form part of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda drive to bring electricity to all Nigerians. Alongside strengthening the national grid, the Federal Government is expanding solar power and other viable sources, bringing supply closer to demand and reaching communities previously without access.  For Zamfara, that means a more resilient, more diverse electricity system, and dependable power for the homes, hospitals, farms and markets that depend on it.
