In a solemn and symbolic gesture, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, made a poignant stop at the country home of the late Chief Anthony Anenih to pay his respects. Chief Anenih, a revered political leader and one of the founding fathers of the PDP, was celebrated for his contributions to the state's political landscape and the nation at large. The visit coincided with the PDP's Esan North East Local Government rally held in Uromi.

The delegation was led by Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, who was accompanied by Dr. Ighodalo, his running mate Barr. Osarodion Ogie, the State Chairman of the PDP Anthony Aziegbemin, and the Director General of the Asue/Ogie Campaign Organisation, Hon. Matthew Iduoriyekemwen. Together, they gathered at the grave of the late Chief Anenih to honor his memory and contributions.

Pastor Ituah Ighodalo, younger brother of Dr. Ighodalo, led the solemn prayers at the graveside, asking for God's continued blessings upon Chief Anenih's soul and for strength and comfort for his family. The gathering was a reflection of Chief Anenih's lasting influence on the political and social fabric of Edo State and the PDP.

Governor Obaseki, speaking after the tribute, extolled Chief Anenih's leadership and urged present and aspiring politicians to learn from his legacy of discipline, selflessness, and dedication to the service of his community, state, and party. Obaseki took the opportunity to reflect on the decision to honor Chief Anenih with a state burial, a gesture that, according to him, marked the beginning of a lasting rift with former Governor and APC stalwart, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

Dr. Ighodalo, humbled by the visit, spoke of the profound impact Chief Anenih had across the state. “Everywhere I have gone,” he remarked, “people speak of the positive impact Chief Anenih had on their lives.” He expressed his gratitude to the Anenih family for welcoming him and vowed to continue protecting and promoting the legacy of Chief Anenih if elected as governor in the upcoming election on September 21st.

Ose Anenih, who received the delegation on behalf of the Anenih family, expressed deep appreciation for the visit and the honor bestowed upon their late father. In a notable declaration, Ose Anenih stated that the family and all loyal followers of Chief Anenih had adopted Dr. Asue Ighodalo as their preferred candidate for the governorship. He confidently sent a strong message to the opposition party, stating, “With all the suffering and hardship people are going through, we believe Edo people will send a clear message on September 21st—there is no vacancy for the APC in Osadebe House.”

As the September elections draw closer, this visit further solidifies Dr. Ighodalo’s standing within the PDP and positions him as a candidate committed to continuing the legacy of service exemplified by Chief Anenih.

The PDP story will be incomplete without him.

Oshiomole the short devil. This man is so disrespectful, very heartless and a useless old man. Can you imagine a human mocking a fellow human on account of childlessness. May karma deal with that useless old fool

After abusing Peter Obi and teaching him a lesson:

...Many of them have sold their cars
...Many cannot pay their rent
...Many are drinking roots and agbo because they cannot afford medicines
...Many cannot afford fuel
...Many have gone into involuntary exercise due to the high cost of transportation
...Japa has become exclusive privilege of the rich
...The cost of an Android phone is now the same amount for Corolla 2005 before Tinubu
...Yam and garri for market how far 😜
...It is our turn. No one is exempted

Tribalism is a seed with multi facet and multi dimensional yield. The results of bad governance don't respect tribe or religion

Wow. The most corrupt politicians of our time is now been celebrated by the PDP? That says a lot about these politicians, the reason why the road in Esan land leading to Abuja is like what it is now was because when Anenih was the Minister of Works under Obasanjo, he collected the money for the construction and pocketed it. Now, this Anenih has become their hero to be worshipped and pray for at his graveyard.
