Anenih, who goes by the nick name, ‘Mr. Fix It’, said this during the launch of his book titled, ‘My Life and Nigerian Politics’ in Abuja on Saturday.
He said, “I am persuaded that I have no more ambition nor any point to prove in politics. I am, therefore, glad to declare that, from today, I shall be withdrawing from active partisan politics. I shall, however, continue to avail the country of my experience, give suggestions and offer advice, as a statesman.”
The former minister of works and housing also called on Nigerians irrespective of party affiliation, to support President Muhammadu Buhari in moving the nation forward.
Anenih added, “I must not end this statement of gratitude without acknowledging the fact that our country is going through difficult times. It is a national predicament which we must confront in unity, irrespective of our partisan commitments, whether PDP, APC, AD or Labour.
“I, therefore, want to urge all Nigerians to persevere and hope for a better tomorrow. We must support and pray that God will give President Muhammadu Buhari the wisdom and vision to steer this country away from recession to prosperity.”
From Punch.
*Did he retire from politics totally or he retired from active politics?
'I shall be withdrawing from active partisan politics. I shall, however, continue to avail the country of my experience, give suggestions and offer advice, as a statesman.”
ReplyDeleteThat answers your question Stella, guess it's from active politics. He should have retired totally and focus on his family and health. Well all the best to him.
