Former Senate President and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Anyim Pius Anyim, has unveiled another passion he has aside from politics. The Peoples Democratic Party chieftain who has spent more than two decades holding different political posts in the nation is also a farmer. The former senate president has always admired the agricultural sector because of its important role it plays in the economic system of a country.
Anyim has some acres of land in Ishiagu, Ebonyi State where he planted mango and Ogbono plantation while still considering adding more in his farmland. He shared pictures of his farmland and how he had to work on it while revealing how refreshing it is to watch his plants shoot out new leaves because of the rain. The politician who has made his political mark in Nigeria was first elected into the senate in 1999 and was voted as the next senate president in 2000 to 2003. However, he didn’t seek re-election into the senate. He was one of the politicians who joined the race to Aso Rock in 2022 however, he lost at the party’s primaries.
