His selection, which took place at the Presidential Villa, was unanimous.
The PDP has described his emergence as a bold step towards ensuring peace and harmony within the ranks of the party.
Anenih is still under subpoena by the House of Representatives over alleged road contract scandal involving billions of naira.
But the PDP said in a congratulatory message signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh that the party had faith that Anenih’s antecedents as a mobiliser and consensus builder over the years will contribute to the long term stability of the Party.
According to Metuh, “Chief Anenih’s tireless participation and critical role in the formation of the PDP places him in good stead to provide wise counsel and direct the influential Board of Trustees to follow the noble ideals of the founders of the Party.
"His wealth of experience and acclaimed reputation as a democrat and consensus builder are assets that the Party needs at this critical point in our democratic evolution”.
The PDP spokesman pointed out that Chief Anenih’s unanimous election by all members of the Board of Trustees has disappointed opposition elements and doomsday prophets who expected the process to result in rancour and acrimony saying “this is yet another signal that the PDP is ever united and ready to overcome all perceived obstacles in our drive to provide focused leadership and service to the people of Nigeria”.
Metuh called on all party members across the board to give maximum cooperation to the new chairman of the BOT who has himself pledged to broaden the spread of the umbrella to accommodate all tendencies.
