Jonathan Set To Impose Anenih On PDP As BoT Chairman
President Goodluck Jonathan may have made up his mind to impose the reclusive former Minister of Works, Chief Tony Anenih, on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT).
Anenih, who was on Monday summoned by the House of Representatives over the sum of N2.3 billion that was purportedly disbursed for an abandoned road project in Nassarawa State in 2006, was at the Presidential Villa on Thursday morning where he had a closed-door meeting with the President.
The meeting, it was gathered, involved discussions about how to make sure that Anenih, who was known as “Mr. Fix-It” before his political profile began to diminish, becomes the next chairman of the BoT, a position from which former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, resigned in April this year. In 2007, Obasanjo outmaneuvered Anenih to bag the influential job.
Apart from Anenih, others in the race are a former National Chairman of the party, Dr. Ahmadu Ali; a former Chairman of Board of Trustees of the All Nigeria Peoples Party, Chief Harry Akande; and a former President of the Senate, Senator Ken Nnamani.
A presidency source said President Jonathan settled for Anenih, who suffered a huge defeat in Edo, his home state, when Mr. Adams Oshiomhole defeated the candidate of the PDP, Gen. Charles Airhiavbere (retd.) last June to retain the governorship.
While some of the members of the board are said to favour either Ali, Mr. Jonathan is said to be insisting on Anenih, convinced that he needs someone with the clout to counter the growing characterization of his regime as non-performing.
Jonathan is said to be deeply unhappy about the recent comment of Obasanjo, his political benefactor who has criticised him on many occasions for poor performance.
“Anenih is seen as the right person that can speak for the President and probably look at the likes of Obasanjo in the face,” said the presidential source.
Apart from this, it is also the calculation in the presidential villa that whoever occupies the office of the BoT chairman will be important in determining Jonathan’s second term ambition.
Anenih played an important role in persuading the governors to support Jonathan to run for office in 2011. The governors had insisted that the party must stick to its zoning formula following the death President Umaru Yar’Adua.
At the PDP headquarters, the governors said it was wrong for Jonathan to run when the North was yet to finish its eight years in office.
After the intervention of many members of the party, the governors and the party decided to allow Jonathan to run, with the understanding that he would only complete Yar’Adua’s projected eight year tenure, which will expire in 2015.
The members of the BoT are meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Friday night, where the election will take place.
One of the tricks used by Obasanjo to side-track Anenih from becoming BoT chairman in 2007 was to change the rules so that only persons who had been president were qualified to contest.
Under that rule, which has yet to be changed, none of those currently vying for the position is qualified to contest.

HOPELESSLY CORRUPT PEOPLE
This shows how hopelessly corrupt the people who call themselves rulers are. This is a man who stole over N300b of our commonwealth, was given the corrupt name of mr. Fix it and GEJ wants him back. There is surely a define purpose for Nigeria and all these happen to bring about that good purpose.mr fix it and the corrupt warlord OBJ will destroyed themselves along with all the rogues quing behind each of them. He can no longer fix anything as Edo and Imo had shown, so let the music play on. God bless Nigeria.
Only the end will
Only the end will tell.

Didn't your saint Jonathan
Didn't your saint Jonathan IMPOSE Bamanga Tukur on pdp as chairman? How have you just forgotten that so early or are trying to be mischievous? Jonathan is conscienceless. You can't wash a pig with just your spittle.
Anenih is Kiss of Death for Jonathan
There is no doubt that Jonathan's choice of Chief Anenih as BOT Chairman is a kiss of death and surely marks the beginning of his end. Instead of looking for credible people who will give PDP a lifeline such as Senator Ken Nnamani, Mr Goodluck is recruiting more and more rogues who will bury the party with him alive in it. Absolute disaster
JONATHAN PLAYING GOD
JONATHAN IS NOW PLAYING GOD BY THINKING HE CAN IMPOSE TONY ANENIH ON THE PDP AND BY EXTENSION ON NIGERIA JUST FOR HIS OWN SELFISH ENDS OF SECURING A SECOND TERM. HE IS OBVIOUSLY NOT SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER. HE WILL DEFINITELY END UP LIKE IKEDIM OHAKIM OF IMO STATE WITH WHOM HE SHARES A GANGSTERISM TRAIT.
THIS IS THE LUCKIEST MAN IN NIGERIA WHO WAS MADE PRESIDENT FROM THE GUTTER HE CAME FROM. HE REFUSES TO DECLARE HIS ASSETS AND BY SO DOING FUELLING CORRUPTION THROUGHOUT HIS ADMINISTRATION.
MR JONATHAN BADLUCK! HISTORY WILL JUDGE YOU. NOTHING LASTS FOREVER.
Dear Santa,
The date is fixed. The year is 2015. Circle it in your almanac. Hell no, most people don’t even know what that is. Ok, moving on.
Dear Santa, Nigerians have tried for 54 years to get that elusive “good leader” jackpot that will make everybody, I mean everybody (Deri, Osita, SAAD, Tundemas, Otile, Akpos1, OC, Wahala, this list is endless Santa) happiiii in “continent” Nigeria. They have some really smart and good people there. Such as Soyinka, Chinue, Fela, Aminu Kanu, Gani, JJ Okocha, Francis Arinze etc. Please make 2015 THE YEAR. Oh Santa, I’m a very realistic person; now, what shall we do if we can’t get that magic leader come 2015? Oh, I got it covered; you do exactly what you have been doing for the past 52 years, which is… you try, try, and try, keep trying till all u die. In the meantime, here is your Good luck present.
We Esan People Refuse The Rubbishing Of Our Esan Man
Please stop your stupid attack on our beloved Papa Anenih. How many Esan man have benefited for the presidency of Nigeria? If Anenih is a king maker, he has not make or made an Esan man president of Nigeria. Not until an Esan man becomes a president that your accusation be valid. Anenih is just playing the political game in Nigeria. Otile, it is time you meet Anenih for an appointment in govt. or be made Nigerian President. Otile is the best qualified Nigerian to vie for the next election for president in Nigeria. My good friend Otile is the only one making sense in SR. My only advise to Otile is take a wife from the Hausa/Fulani stock and Bingo elected president in Nigeria. I believe GEJ has a lineage in Maiduguri which gave him the ticket to his exalted position in Nigeria. Ask Ikechukwu about that. Long live Pa. Anenih.
A PARTY WHERE VILLIANS AND EVIL MEN CALL THE SHOTS
The simple truth is that the credentials required for becoming the BOT Chairman of PDP are very unenviable.First of all the ability to rig elections,the ability to organise mass looting and other criminal activities like neutralizing political opponents through any which way,organising thugs etc.
It does not really matter who clinches the position,it will still be the same terrible job description.

PDP NEEDS THE EXPERIENCE OF THIS MASTER
Call him names. one thing you guys cannot take from this man is his experience in the act. He certainly knew his onions. Talking of young men. Have they done better in providing the needed development? You hate this man out of envy. Any body who can help to fix P.D.P and Nigeria is welcome -including the Master himself.
Beleive it or not Tony Anenih is a Game Changer
The PDP BoT Election comes up this weekend, if the wishes of the current president come true, Tony Anenih will once again become the Chairman of the Board of trustee. He is experienced and knows how to play the game of politics. He will surely bring back the excitement that has eluded the party and the General polities of the country. This old crocodile (no Offence intended) has been of good services to the country in various capacity and have the interest of the country at heart. Aneineh, PDP and the People of Nigeria welcome you back to Active Politics, and the people will be watching your performance

Response
Sunday Njokede you should bear in mind that, no line has been drawn as you are alleging.if u think a line is drawn and verily believe it to be so, tell the whole world who and where the line is drawn and for or against who.
Mr President has and will never interfere in such a contest.He is not that kind of person that believes in imposing candidates on the party or going against the sanctity of the ballot.
You should show regard for Mr President's principle and please.
Reclycling
What is the point recycling these people? He had been a BOT chairman, and at his age now, what modern democratic ideas does he bring to the table? Jonathan should learn to diminish the relevance of these non-democratic elements. Otherwise there should be no room for godfatherism.

PDP mafia and its criminals have ruined Nigeria completely
It no longer matters to the average Nigerian what the useless criminals and looters in the PDP (the likes of our clueless, incompetent and sleazy bro Jonathan, the sinister, corrupt old thug called Anenih and fellow rogues like the thieving and murderous Ota Gorilla) do. Nothing good can come from these evil rogues. These charlatans and sadists must be confronted and dealt with by the decent segments of the Nigerian society in order for the country to move forward. The den of armed robbers, fraudsters, election riggers, embezzlers calling themselves leaders and members of the PDP den of dangerous and unpatriotic bandits as well as their rotten allies in the judiciary and the private sector, the army, SSS and the police must be neutralized for Nigeria to hope to prosper as a democracy. The time to organize to rid the nation of bro Jonathan's anti-people PDP mafia is now.
RE: Jonathan set to impose Anenih on PDP
IT IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE MOST ANNOYING THINGS THAT ANY COULD IMAGINE OR EVEN THINK THE PRESIDENT WOULD CONTEMPLATE TO DO.PRESIDENT JONATHAN IS THE ONLY NIGERIAN PRESIDENT THAT HAS DEMONSTRATED TO THE ENTIRE NATION THAT, ELECTIONS ARE NEVER A DO OR DIE AFFAIR....
IF NOT FOR JONATHAN DID ANY NIGERIAN EVER IMAGINE THAT STATES LIKE EKITI, EDO AND ONDO WILL BE RECAPTURED BY THE PARTIES RULING IN SUCH STATES?
WE SHOULD LEARN TO SAY THE TRUTH IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE.
AT THE END, IT IS THE PEOPLES WISHES THAT WILL PRODUCE THE BOT CHAIRMAN.....
NO ONE SHOULD DOUBT PRESIDENT JONATHAN.
Not an impostor
President Jonathan is not an impostor as your first paragraph says, when you see an impostor you would know without a doubt. The south west will never forget how the immediate past president imposed PDP candidates on them. Their votes never counted. PDP as a party has a constitution they follow and I don't see the President breaking the party manisfestoes and constitution. So don't insinuate what is not.
ANNENIH....
Even though i dont like Anenih there is nothing wrong with Jonathan backing a candidate. The others are not better than Anenih..Ali, Iwuayanwun, Nnamani are all the same. its goin to be an election tonight, so what is wrong if GEJ supports one party man. We should stop these mischief plz...sahara do u have to twist everythin and make him look bad,..very irresponsible
YES Anenih is bacl
Yes, one of the thieves is back, he has to come back so as to fix GEJ for second term, no qualms, after his tenure, SE will get theirs.
Mr Fix It
Mr. Fix it is coming back to fix President Goodluck Jonathan back comes 2015. He lost out in Edo State and he will surely lose out again come 2015
Make Aso Rock Or, Die Trying!
Jonathan annoyed Anenih a lot when, he quickly congratulated Oshiomhole after winning the election. It is this mistake that Jonathan is repenting from; with the new gesture towards Anenih. I knew Mr Annenih must have sworn to make sure Jonathan loses South-south in 2015 for having spited him whilst he congratulated Oshiomhole. And secondly, Jonathan wants anything that could make him win 2015 election tooth and claw. Even being at wavelength with the Devil would not be out of place to making Aso Rock in 2015. The line is drawn.

let all this mafia godfather rub each other out, thanks!
yes, o, some heavy ro.fo.ro.fo., fo.'go-fo.'go and dirty yabis should please burst out between that shameless hatchet man and his former boss, the "beyond shameless" general who born dog. enjoyment! let the cabals fight themselves to finish, no one remain alife. and as PDP self-destruct, our dear "progressives" should not grab the chance to enter "within the system".
Johnathan & Anenih
When will recycling stop in Nigeria. This man Anenih is used up and moreover dubious. Why can't Johnathan learn?
WHO Should We Expect? Emeka Anyaoku??
The sooner we Realise that PDP as presently Constituted has NOTHING 2offer d beta 4us so we can channel our Effort Towards Credible alternatives..Not the Chop-i-Chop so called Opposition Partys..a Decent Respectable person will not b suitable 4 the Arm-Twisting Dog-Eat-dog Intrigues of Ze FeeDeeFee..
Is something WRONG with Jonathan's Head?
Instead of this incompetent president to perform and deliver the dividence of democracy to the masses is he busy fortifying himself with useless and toothless bull dogs (Okupe, Anenih, e.t.c) who should be cooling in JAIL.
I believe Nigeria will overcome someday!
Divide and Die
It doesn't matter who Dumbo crowns whatever, when the alarm blows for 2015, we're packaging the Utuoke Clown back to his restive enclave in the Zoo. Anenih is done, beaten in Oguta (by women) and Edo State recently, he is feeble compared to the Ota Monster. The Monster has built a "Political Mosque" in his crib at the Ota Hill and prominent Abokis are doing Lesser Hajj there in large numbers. Ugly OBJ is a tested warlord on whom we're relying to divide and destroy (D&D) the evil PDP cabal for us, let the Oldies Fight begin, Nigerians should fast for it. Dump Dumbo is my slogan and the modus operandi is irrelevant, this folly just has to stop. Tukur, now Anenih. Old clowns sitting at the edge of the grave. The Alarm is set for 2015, it's either we get it right or we Bury Naija, but, we'll break the PDP jinx!
