The event held at the country home of the businessman and philanthropist, in Igbere, Bende Local Government Area of the state.
Speaking at the event, Anyaso who had contested to represent Bende Federal Constituency under the PDP in 2019, made it clear that he is still the man to beat for the ticket of PDP.
He expressed confidence on retaining the ticket of the party and stated that anyone interested in taking the ticket from him must be ready for a serious contest.
“I am holding the Offor (ace of leadership) of Bende federal constituency. I am using this opportunity to tell ndi Bende that I am not ready to hand over the Offor. But it does not mean that other people do not have the right to aspire; but you’ll ask yourself, this person you want to collect this thing from, what is his strength”.
He added;
“It is better we come together and agree; it must not be me but remember, currently, I am the one holding it and you can’t take it from me by fraud”.
He restated that he has not indulged in any illegal activity to make money nor held any political position or contract, adding that all he gives out is from his personal resources which emanates from his established businesses.
