Benin – Edo State Chapter of the Peopleâ€
s Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday said it received the news of the death of Anthony Akhakon Anenih, the Iyasele of Esanland, with rude shock.
A statement by Dan Osi Orbih, the state party chairman, noted: “It was with a heavy heart we received the news of the death of our leader, father and mentor, Anthony Anenih, the Iyasele of Esanland, former Minister of Works and Housing, and erstwhile chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees (BOT) at the age of 85 years.
According to the statement, “National leader, as he was affectionately called, served Nigeria with all his might. He was a unifier, builder of men and a great political strategist.
“He was popularly known as “Mr. Fix-itâ€� for his ability to solve and navigate knotty political situations.
“In Edo State, he was our pillar, light, pathfinder, bridge-builder and a detribalised leader.
“He shone brightly and lit many candles. He was a leader par excellence. Coming from a minority zone and from a minority tribe in our state, he exceeded natural barriers so that others can aspire without fear or man-imposed limitations.
“He was a great organiser, mobiliser and an inspiration to men and women of goodwill.
“As we await further details from the family, we call on all his admirers to continue to pray to God to grant him eternal rest” Orbih further stated.
