Guests and leaders of the Peoples
Democratic Party were stunned on Thursday when the new National Chairman of the
party, Alhaji Adamu Mu'azu, specifically urged the Secretary to the Government
of the Federation (SGF), Sen. Pius Anyim, to learn not to sleep during public
events.
Mu'azu was speaking when leaders of the party from Ebonyi State visited him and the leadership of the party to pay homage and wish him well following his election.
The group was led by the governor, Martin Elechi, who spoke on behalf of the delegation from his state, which included Anyim, Minister of Health Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, and some other political office holders from the state.
But while Mu'azu was replying, he looked over at Anyim, who had already dozed off, and immediately confronted the burly SGF.
"Mr. Anyim, I hope you have not started doing what you like doing best,” Mu'azu said, making the motions of a dozing person. The laughter that followed from the audience woke up the sleeping SGF.
It was gathered that even as Senator, Anyim often fell asleep on the floor of the House, an action that made the late Chuba Okadigbo, at that time the Senate President, to scold him on one occasion.
Witnesses recall that the scolding followed an instance when Anyim, suddenly woke up from his usual sleep and without knowing the topic being discussed, shouted that he wanted to make contribution.
An angry Okadigbo then asked Anyim whether he knew what was being discussed, to which Anyim just smiled, provoking general laughter among the Senators!!!

ReplyDeleteAnyim's sleeping habit at public functions is a disgrace to the nation and his party in particular. He should take his exit without being forced to do so. Thanks to the honesty and sincerity of his party chairman alh mu'azu.
