Why I Accepted the Renewed Hope Grand Patron Role – Anyim

By Emmanuel Iheaka

Former Senate President Pius Anyim has explained why he accepted the position of National Grand Patron of Renewed Hope for Greater Nigeria (RHGN). He said the role will allow him to raise awareness among Nigerians, especially in the South East, about what he calls the “silent impact” of the President Bola Tinubu administration.

Anyim, whose appointment was announced together with that of Chief Longers Anyanwu as ambassador, noted that the administration, despite early economic challenges, is implementing policies that could transform the country’s fortunes.

He highlighted the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) as a flagship initiative that has broadened access to tertiary education for students from low‑income families.

Speaking about the development, RHGN National Convener Hon. Calistus Anyanwu said the group has already activated grassroots mobilisation structures across the South East, including ward‑level coordination, community engagement, youth groups, and political operatives.

He acknowledged the initial economic hardship that followed the administration’s reform agenda but maintained that the policies were necessary and are beginning to yield positive results.

According to him, public perception is gradually shifting in favour of the government as more Nigerians begin to notice improvements linked to ongoing reforms.

Anyanwu also described the appointment of Chief Longers Anyanwu as strategic, noting that his grassroots political influence and networks would complement Anyim’s national stature.

He said that while Anyim brings national visibility and symbolic leadership, Chief Longers is expected to strengthen grassroots mobilisation and organisational reach across communities.
