Buhari, Obaseki, Others Pay Last Tributes To Late Chief Tony Anenih by Ehisbaba78: 11:10pm On Nov 30, 2018 |
President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State have extolled the leadership qualities of late Chief Anthony Akhakon Anenih, eulogising him as an illustrious son of Nigeria and a politician of uncommon calibre. Buhari, who was represented by the Minister of State for Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, said this during a requiem mass held as part of the state burial in honour of Late Chief Anenih, at the University of Benin Sports Complex, in Benin City, Edo State capital. The president said that Anenih lived a great life of service, and became a bridge builder across the political divide. He said, “Anenih is a patriotic Nigerian, who has an unequal commitment to the Nigerian project. He is a man that believes in the growth and development of the nation. In his tribute, Governor Obaseki said Chief Anenih was a rare-breed politician, who was “famed for his political wizardry, an uncommon gift to weather stormy waters and masterfully deliver results from the most difficult situations.” “I stand here today on behalf of the Government and People of Edo State to pay tribute to and celebrate the life of a quintessential, rare-breed politician, philanthropist, a leader of leaders, statesman, an illustrious son of Edo and our father, Chief Anthony Akhakon Anenih,” Obaseki said. He added, “I commiserate with the great Anenih family of Uromi, Esan North East Local Government Area, the National and State leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the good people of Edo State on the passing of our great icon. Noting that the elder statesman devoted a better part of his life to the development of the state and the country, he said late Chief Anenih contributed to national development in the various capacities he served while he lived. “The whole of Edo State has suffered a huge loss with the death of Chief Anenih, the Iyasele of Esan land, who ranks as one of the most illustrious sons of the state,” he added. Former Governor of Edo State, Chief Lucky Igbinedion said Anenih created a vast political family, adding that he was a great builder, who created a platform for unity and friendship across the political divide. Former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, said Anenih was a great mentor, adding, “he was a great adviser and a pillar of support for the downtrodden. Former Deputy Governor of Edo State, Chief Mike Ogiadomhen lauded late Chief Anenih as being instrumental in midwifing democracy in 1999. - PHOTO 1 - Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki (right); Anthony Anenih Jnr.

Ehisbaba78: ANENIH THAT IS A VERY CORRUPT MAN, EVEN BUHARI MR INTEGRITY IS RAINING PRAISES ON HIS HEAD. Nigeria is a country of many faces. Our political leaders are just pretenders. Regretably the late Anenih dead body will return to his Uromi country home in Esan land of Edo state. A rural community that he failed to developed despite sitting on huge amount of money. Youth of Uromi will feel the pains inflicted on their psyche by a MR FIX IT. |
