BENIN CITY—THE Enojie of Opoji and Vice Chairman, Edo State Council of Traditional Rulers, His Royal Highness, HRH, Aidonojie Ehidiamen 1, has linked the emergence of General Muhammadu Buhari as President with the liberation of Esan people from the stranglehold of the chairman, Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Tony Anenih.
He accused Chief Anenih of concentrating all federal appointments in his area Uromi to the detriment of other areas in Esan land since 1999.
The royal father declared to newsmen, yesterday, that the emergence of General Buhari of the APC as President came as a sigh of relief to his people, whom he alleged, had been marginalised by successive PDP led administrations, however, commended President Goodluck Jonathan for accepting defeat in the presidential election, and urged many Nigerians leaders to emulate him.
According to him: “ It is sad that people outside Esan land have always accused Esan people of having all the federal appointments, but that is not true; all the appointments since 1999 are all from Uromi, the home of Chief Anenih. We have cried for so many years but he does not care because he believes that his PDP is in power and nothing will happen.
“All the Ministerial appointments have gone to Uromi. Majority of Esan people are celebrating the exit of PDP because now all the blackmail and promise being given to people for ministerial appointments and governorship are all over. That is what has enslaved Esan people for years, but thank God he has answered us.”
