Viewers Corner’s correspondent in Abuja (Nigeria) revealed to us that Anyim Pius Anyim is among those in Nigeria allegedly sponsoring the pro-Biafra Protests and as a result of this, lots of protesters have lost their lives. We also learnt that he (Anyim Pius Anyim) has written a letter to President Buhari that his life is in danger, however if this allegation is true then he has to face the law because they are rules and regulations guiding such process.
Normally, if any group in a country be it Nigeria or anywhere in the world is not satisfied with the system and wants to secede, the only best way to resolve or handle such sensitive issue would be through dialogue and diplomacy instead of sitting at the background and be sending people who do not know the implication of what they are doing to go and carry out protests all in the name of seceding from Nigeria. What Viewers Corner is trying to say here is this, if such system should work, they must be proper consultations with all the groups and if consensus or compromise is reached then this group can then apply to the federal government not through force but through peaceful means. If the federal government says no then you wait and reapply again when the time is right. Dialogue and diplomacy is the key words, not sending innocent people to go and demonstrate and get killed. It may be because the person’s preferred choice is not in government, therefore sending people to go and demonstrate could be a ploy to cause unrest in the country.
This again would bring us to discuss a little bit about Anyim Pius Anyim. He became a Senator of the federal Republic of Nigeria in May 1999 and was appointed President of the Senate in August 2000, after late Senator Chuba Okadigbo was impeached. Anyim Pius was in the senate until May 2003. In May 2011, ex-president Goodluck Jonathan appointed him Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
Viewers Corner is asking Pius Anyim, all these years he was active in government, what did he do for his people (Ebonyi state)? Nothing. When he was a Senate President, Pius Anyim fought the then sitting Governor of Ebonyi State, Samuel Ominyi Egwu. The same story repeated when he was Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), he was also not in a good relationship with Martin Elechi (former governor of Ebonyi state).
He succeeded in manipulating PDP primaries in Ebonyi state to install his preferred candidate, Umahi David who is the incumbent governor of Ebonyi state. He used his federal connections to carry out his plans, we all in the International Media knew exactly how it happened as at that time. Again, like Viewers Corner mentioned that “what goes around must surely come around”, if you work nicely most probably you would get a beautiful reward but if you work wrongly then only you and your God knows. Now in Ebonyi state, nothing is working properly as a result of what the god fathers did by installing their candidate as the governor of Ebonyi state so that their own selfish interest will be protected. Viewers Corner sincerely believe that God is alive and there is always time for everything we do in this world, anyone that is hiding and causing problems thinking that no one would know or see him/her is indirectly killing him/herself because God is watching, so let us as children of one God live clean and get the blessing of our father the God Almighty.
Honestly if we examine very closely our activities in this world, we would keep on asking ourselves questions like; what are we fighting for or acquiring these worldly things for when we know that someday we will all leave this earth. We (Viewers Corner) are appealing to all the politicians in Nigeria to humble themselves and do the job for which they are elected to do, say no to double standard, tribalism and sentiments. Say no to corruption and use the available resources from the country (Nigeria) which is within your reach as a politician to create better conditions for the Nigerian people. This is just an appeal from Viewers Corner. Let all Nigerians get a new beginning, hopefully with President Buhari in power everything would surely be alright because he is not corrupt.
