Chief Tony Anenih
The Chairman, Board of Trustees of the
Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Tony Anenih, has urged Nigerians not to
be deceived that President Goodluck Jonathan will not secure a
re-election in next month’s presidential election.
Anenih, who said this during a rally on
Sunday in Uromi, the headquarters of Esan North-East Local Government of
Edo State, noted that he had recently visited some northern states and
with what he saw, the PDP would emerge victorious in the February
elections.
Also, present at the rally were the
Minister for Works, Mike Onolemenmen, a chieftain of the party, Chief
Tom Ikimi; state Chairman of the party, Chief Dan Orbih and other state
executive members.
The BOT chairman specifically said that
the PDP would win Kwara and Sokoto states and defeat the candidate of
the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
He said, “Don’t be deceived if anyone
tells you Jonathan will not win. I went out to see things for myself.
Four days ago I was in Kwara State. As I was leaving after sitting for
five hours, I knew that we have won Kwara.
“Two days ago as Buhari was landing in
Sokoto, I was also landing in Sokoto and by the time I was leaving, I
knew we have got Sokoto State. These are northern states.”
Anenih also urged the people of the state to support the PDP at the polls.
He added that it would be a sad tale to
vote for the APC candidates at all levels because “you don’t take food
from your son for a dog.”
“Coming back home, it will be a sad tale for any member of the South- South region to vote for the APC candidates, whether in the Houses of Assembly, House of Representatives, Senate, governorship or Presidential election. It will be so bad; you take food from your son to a dog,” he said.
