Tony Anenih - Leader, Enforcer
Former Commissioner of Police, the erstwhile Chairman of the defunct Social Democratic Party, SDP and former Minister of Works and Housing and now Chairman PDP Board of Trustees, is a man many love to hate for the shrewd and calculating manner he operates behind the scene. He is today one of the most influential party elders in the [Obasanjo's] government.
From his Uromi town in Edo Central Senatorial district, his influence is legendary, transcending the frontiers of his state to Abuja and beyond, dominating the national firmament like never before with a somewhat mystic hold on the nation's leadership and the leadership of his ruling party, the PDP. He is the chief strategist of Obasanjo?s politicking. The ?enforcer of the emperor's? word.
To a large extent, he influences who gets what and how in this government and dispenses favours according to his moods. Some call him "Mr Fix it", others prefer to see him as "the enforcer" or "the hatchet man", and yet others call him "the Leader," but Anenih seems to care less. In his Edo state, his endorsement largely saw to the re-emergence of Governor Lucky Igbinedion as the party's flag bearer, either by hook or crook.
