The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has elected former Minister of Works, Chief Tony Anenih, to chair its Board of Trustees (BoT), a position which he occupied until 2007.
Chief Anenih, 73, was elected after a meeting of the board, which began at about 8.45pm, Monday night and ended at about 12.45am Tuesday morning.
His emergence was by consensus following a long drawn meeting of all the members of the board presided by President Goodluck Jonathan in the presidential villa.
Briefing the state house correspondents after his election, Chief Anenih said that he had been chairman of the BoT for two years before and has all it takes to move the party to greater heights.
He added that he is not in doubt of his ability to make meaningful contribution to the growth of the party.
“I was elected today by consensus as the chairman of the BoT. I know I can make meaningful contributions to the progress of the party. As you know, the BOT is the conscience of the party. It’s a body of men and women who have seen it all and I am happy to be the chairman of that board.”
