*I won't kill anybody at 83, Anenih tells Onojie of Opoji

BENIN—THE Onojie of Opoji and Vice Chairman, Edo State Council of Traditional Rulers and Chiefs, HRH Ehidiamen Aidonojie I, yesterday, raised alarm, that he was being threatened by the former chairman, Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Tony Anenih.

The royal father said that his lawyers were already preparing a petition to be submitted to the Inspector General of Police and the state Police Commissioner Chris Ezike, on the issue, adding that it was “because I told the world that Esan Royal fathers never endorsed Ize-Iyamu.”

But reacting, Chief Anenih, took a swipe at the Onojie of Opoji, Ehidiamen Aidonojie I, saying that he has never killed anyone in his life time even when he was a young person, let alone now that he is 83.

Speaking to Vanguard on phone, Chief Anenih, said “Onojie of Opoji was one of the traditional rulers who received our candidate and the PDP's governorship candidate for the September election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu. I know him very well. I never killed somebody in my life even as a Police Constable. Is it now that I will be 83 that I will kill somebody? I will not kill anybody in my life. I am a peaceful man. I will not kill an ordinary man, a big man, a traditional ruler or anybody. I will not even contemplate killing the Onojie of Opoji, why will I do that?”

The Royal father, had alleged “He (Anenih) called me shouting at me ‘Your Highness, I am disappointed in you.’ I asked him what I had done, he kept shouting 'what has Oshiomhole (governor) done' for me in my life and I told him to stop insulting me even if he is Anenih, that I am a traditional ruler for Christ sake.

“He said that was why he was not happy that I attended the function at the Onojie of Uromi’s palace. He went on to say that he thought we had settled, he said he thought we had settled our problem. But I told him that what we agreed was that he should make an Esan man governor but he never did it.

“Rather what he brought to Esan people now was deputy governor and he still kept it in Uromi. And that was the same thing we have been complaining, all the ministers have come from his place in Uromi and in every election, he will ask Esan people to vote PDP. I asked why did he not move the deputy governorship to another community in Esanland, must it be Uromi?

“He said I should be careful and he was warning me. First of all, it is an abomination to insult a Royal father like me. I have briefed my lawyers and we are petitioning the IG of Police. I have already informed the state Commissioner of Police and the DSS. Why must Esan people vote PDP when in Esan, most of us have been marginalised while Uromi remains the Israel," he said.

On election day, vote your candidate, that all. Mine is Pastor Osagie Ize Iyamu and John Yakubu. Haters like this trad ruler can take a walk.

boudiaye

[size=25pt]Forget all the drama....Pastor Ize Iyamu is our next Governor [/size]

If apc loses Edo elections ,it will be a big comeback for pdp and will greatly increase the morale and confidence of her members but if pdp loses ,that will be the final nail on their coffin . So there is so much at stake in this election. The survival of pdp hangs on it

do or die... So tell all youth not to kill themselves for this people... Anenih say he won't kill at 83. Does that mean he has been killing before he is 83

all na 4 dere pocket not 4 d masses

U will not kill a 80yrs man but subjecting him to high BP will do

"I won't kill anybody at 83".hmmm...meaning you have killed plenty when u were much younger

he just lost hope haahahahaha

What a silly allegation, why would Anenih kill him when his own subjects are up in arms with him.
Opoji is only a small village in Uromi, his endorsement means nothing because the onojie of Uromi has already endorsed POI.

The Enejie (Esan name for many kings) met and endorsed POI.
Only God would save Obaseki, even his own brother have defected to PDP.

But before 83 you hve been kiiling abi. Oya police om come and do your work

Is warning now a threat to life?

Dirty politics no one is left out

They are trying to weep up tribal sentiment and some 'muguns' would fall for this.Edo people should wise up and they shouldn't fall for their political gimmicks.

Anenih still dey?

You wont kill at 83? Hmmmm, am l the only one reasoning like this. It means you have killed at 33, 43, 53, 63, 73 but not 83.



I believe you sir ANINI, l got the spelling right Abeg Correct am for me, if na ya Village person or uncle.

politicians and dirty games
what i just know is that many people shouting here on Nairaland are not even from Edo state talk less of saying whether they are eligible to vote that was how people rant about Imo election and at the end APC still carries the day

I don raf tyre

limeta:
boudiaye

Esan?

I see no insult from Anneih nw, its a mere question n presentation of facts

POLITRICKS

Meaning you've killed before 83...Go ahead

If Anenih feels he can keep using other Esans to win elections and take all appointments whether state or federal to Uromi or Agbazilo, he has surely gotten it wrong this time. The marginalization of other Esans by Anenih has to stop even if it is to vote GO. Oshomole is no saint but Anenih has done more harm to Esanland than outsiders. If you don't build your home how do you expect outsiders to do so? The Onojie spoke well.

Your royal mightiness, if you have benefitted from Oshomhole govt, my Esan has not. The road from Irrua to Opoji and from Ekpoma to Opoji has remained in its deplorable state in all the 8 years of Oshomhole tenure despite your fanatical support. Francis Inegbeniki has blinded you with his money. Despite you and inegbeniki clamour for Esan deputy in APC, Oshomhole spurned you and instead picked his brother. At least Aneni and PDP picked an Esan man as a deputy.
If Aneni could even kill your like, we will be very glad. You are a disgrace and an embarrassment to the good people of Opoji land. Mind you I am an Iki - Opoji man. Therefore I am an interested party.
