The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has expressed deep grief over the demise of a former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees, Chief Tony Anenih, describing him as a pan Nigerian and patriot who served the nation to the best of his ability.
Writing on his Facebook page and other social media handles, @iamekweremadu, he said: “Chief Anineh contributed so much to deepening our democracy and setting the nation on the path of progress at the end of many decades of military rule.
“He was a humble leader, fine public administrator, political kingmaker, a colossus, master strategist, and a political oracle, who was very vast in political engineering.
“Iyasele was a courageous man, and a man of few words, who meant whatever he said and said only what he meant. He will be sorely missed”.
Ekweremadu prayed God to grant the deceased eternal repose and to his family, the government and people of Edo State, and indeed the nation the inner strength to bear the irreparable loss.
