A renowned human rights activist, Mike Ozekhome, SAN, has described former Senate President, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim as the “most detribalised and patriotic leader ever to grace the Senate”.
Ozekhome said this at the commemoration of the 61st birthday celebration of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, which was held in Abuja on February 19.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria who had worked closely with Anyim further described him as a pan-African administrator, achiever, go-getter, and a patriot.
According to him, “Anyim is blind to ethnicity, deaf to religion and numb to language.”
The legal icon said Anyim has made a name for himself as a consensus builder and a beacon of exemplary leadership.
He said such character has helped him attain an enviably high level in his career and also command the admiration and respect of his superiors and contemporaries from all parts of the country.
