Late Chief Tony Anenih’s Son, Ose, Resigns From PDP

By Adesina Soyooye

Ose Anenih, son of one of the founding fathers of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, late Chief Tony Anenih, has resigned from the Party which earned his father the alias: Mr. Fix it.

Ose quit the party in a letter he addressed to the Chairman of his Arue Ward 3, Uromi, Edo State, dated August 18, 2025.

In the letter, he said his decision to resign was not made lightly. He, however, said he would remain engaged in civic and intellectual discourse to help strengthen good governance and improve the lives of the people.

His words: “At this point in my life, my duty now lies first with my family and with other responsibilities that demand my full attention. However, my commitment to Nigeria’s progress remains unshaken.”

Given the state of the PDP in Edo State since it lost the Governorship election to the All Progressives Congress, APC, it is not quite surprising that Anenih jnr. resigned from the Party, especially after his public altercation with another chieftain of the Party, former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido over the role his father, Anenih snr, played, or dud not play in the abortion of the June 12, 1993 Presidential Election won by late Chief Moshood Abiola but sadly canceled by the then Military Regime headed by General Ibrahim Babangida.

Anenih Snr. was the National Chairman of  the Social Democratic Party, SDP, the Party under which Abiola contested for the Presidential seat.
