The chairmanship of BOT had pitted Anenih against Obasanjo and it was another indication of the no love lost between the former president and his former minister. The two were known to have had a chummy relationship until the tail end of Obasanjo’s eight-year tenure.
The duo disagreed over the candidature of Senator Ifeanyi Araraume for the governorship of Imo State. While Obasanjo was said to be opposed to Araraume, Anenih wanted the former Senator.
Obasanjo and Anenih also disagreed over the recent election of the Senate President, Senator David Mark. While Obasanjo, though out of power, had rooted for the party’s decision to endorse Mark, Anenih was at the head of a group of some former governors sponsoring the candidature of former Benue State governor, Senator George Akume who eventually lost the election.
The former President was said to have lambasted Anenih over his move against Mark, allegedly calling his former “Mr. Fit It” a rebel.
