Chairman Board of Trustees of the
Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Tony
Anenih, on Saturday urged parents to
give proper education to their children,
no matter what it costs.
Speaking at the convocation ceremony of
300 students of the Pace Setters Schools,
Abuja, Anenih said he would die a happy
man having struggled to give his children
good education.
The school is owned by former Edo PDP
governorship aspirant, Kenneth
Imasuagbon.
Anenih said, "The best thing you can leave
for your son and daughter is good
education. It doesn't matter where you are
coming from. You may be a cleaner, a
wine tapper but please give your children
good education.
"If I die tomorrow, I will go happily
because I struggled to educate my
children."
Also at the event, the publisher of Ovation
Magazine and former Presidential
Candidate of the National Conscience
Party, Dele Momodu, said the crisis
rocking the Nigeria Governors' Forum was
dangerous for the country.
He said, "It is not good to annul elections.
We annulled an election in 1993, 20 years
after we are annulling an election that
took place between 35 people in one small
room. It tells us that there are dangers
ahead."
Momodu, who noted that education
liberates the mind, said he would continue
to struggle for the liberation of the
country from the hands of the few milking
it.
He said, "Nigeria can do a lot better. We
can't abandon politics in the hands of a
few and then complain. I have not been in
power yet, but we will continue to do it
and encourage others to join hands to
liberate the country from all the socio-
political problems confronting the
country."
