Chief Tony Anenih, former Chairman, Board of Trustees, BoT, of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expressed disappointment with what he, yesterday, described as the fictional reports about his death, saying his life is in God’s hands.
Anenih, who is in London on a private visit, according to his media aide, Sufyuan Ojeifo, was shocked by news of his death on social media platforms.
“He is in London on a private visit. He will be back in Abuja on Sunday, and he felt really disappointed with the report. He could not believe that any medium could publish such fiction as news and noted that his life is in the hands of God,” Ojeifo quoted the 82-year-old politician and former policeman as saying.
“I spoke with him (Anenih) at 1.37 pm today (yesterday). He is hale and hearty. The report was simply a concoction of mischief. Only God and the harbinger of the rumour know the intention behind it. When I spoke with him, he said he did not know the hospital mentioned in the report neither did he know the doctor mentioned. He said he did not have brain cancer. He rounded off with me by saying “God is on the throne.”
Anenih, the Iyasele of Esanland, was Chairman of the PDP BoT and a national leader of the party and is expected to lead the party into the forthcoming governorship election in his native Edo State scheduled to hold in September.
