The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has reacted to the death of Tony Anenih, a former Minister of Works and
chieftain of the party.
Anenih died after battling with
illness.
In a statement signed by its
spokesperson, Kola ogbondiyan, PDP described Anenih as a “great Nigerian, a
light bearer, brilliant administrator, fine officer, quintessential nationalist
and democratic
icon, who made innumerable
sacrifices for the unity, stability and development of our dear nation.”
The statement reads, “Indeed,
Chief Anenih, who was known in the political circle as “Mr. Fix
it”, owing to his ability to find
solutions to very knotty political and governance issues, remains a colossus
with unparalleled array of legacies which will be celebrated for generations.
“His roles in ensuring the
stability, not only of our great party but also for our nation at large, stood
him out as a patriot who dedicated his life for the service of humanity.
“PDP is particularly pained that
Chief Anenih left the stage at the time the party and the nation needed his
wealth of experience the more, especially in our collective quest to restore
good governance and democratic ideals in our country.
“PDP, therefore, condoles with
the Anenih family, the government and people of Edo state and pray that God
will grant the nation the fortitude to bear this monumental loss.”
