I have monumental regard for Anyim, says Emir of Kano

The Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, has described a former Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Chief Anyim Pius Anyim, as a highly respected leader, whose wealth of experience the country needed to tap from.

The Royal Father, who said said he had monumental respect for Senator Anyim, added that the nation needed more of him at this time to successfully navigate through its political murky waters and challenges.

The Emir stated this while presentating the 2020 Zik’s Prize for Political Leadership to Anyim, who was announced winner of the prize by the selection committee, in Lagos, recently.

According to Alhaji Bayero, “It is indeed a thing of privilege and honour to stand here and present this award on behalf of the organizers to somebody I have so much respect for; somebody I appreciate; and I believe most of us here have this high regards for the former Senate President.
