While extolling Anirah’s leadership quality and magnanimity in terms of service delivery and charitable undertakings, he remarked that the former Council Chairmen has done marvelously well for the area since 2019 till date.

He told the visiting politicians that it is an undeniable fact, Anirah has proven himself as a worthy ambassador and a trusted leader, who has endeared himself to everybody.

Chief Anirah by his pedigree deserves the votes of the people for a second term while we make plans for his upward movement to the National Assembly with prayers for elongation of his life.

Speaking on behalf of Anirah’s entourage at a gathering of political big-wigs, with the attendance of Chief (Col) Moses Babuba Abeke, Chief ( Prof) Owumi, Chief Duke Okereka, Elder Austin Ayemidejor and a host of PDP faithful in Sapele, Professor Owumi noted that the visit was a friendly one to notify Ayemidejor on Anirah’s intention for a second shot at the State House of Assembly.

“We are encouraged by our representative’s quality leadership, humane character and milk of kindness to the downtrodden, especially the encouragement of education to the indigents in schools around Sapele,” he added.

Others who lent their voices for Anirah’s second bid, debunked fears of new aspirants gunning for the seat, as according to them, there are several legacies already laid by Chief Anirah, amongst which is the all encompassing Felix Anirah’s Foundation which caters for the needs of indigent students and scholarships and health benefits to the poor mothers amongst others.

A member of the entourage, Chief ( Professor) Owumi remarked that Anirah’s track records are indelible mark in the political development of Sapele local government and beyond, explaining that the consultation visits are mere formalities rather than apprehension of potential aspirants bidding for the “no vacant” seat of Anirah come ,2023.

“We have not had a bold, tireless and courageous fighter that speaks and defends his constituency in such manner as Anirah, since the advent of the present democratic setting. A man easily accessible, humble, sincere and generous to a fault.
Sapele Constituency,” Professor Owumi observed.

Adding: ” We owe Chief Anirah a duty to vote him again and again as their representative, having practically availed himself in every undertaking, in other to change the narratives.”

Former ward leader in Sapele, Mr Greg Omame and Chief Duke Okereka in their responses affirmed that Anirah deserves no campaign, having proven worthy of no challenge, by the volume of his works that speak for themselves.
He has done so much by embracing everybody, even his perceived enemies to dine and wine with.

A top notch of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP noted that whereas past representatives have always complained of lack of money in the treasury at Asaba, Chief Anirah’s case is different from the others, judged by his selflessness and goodwill towards his
people.

Little wonder, Prof Owumi observed, that Anirah second bid ticket to the House, was bought by jolly good fellows, in appreciation for setting the pace for others to emulate.
