Chief Tony Anenih, former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP board of trustees has revealed that the Military regime of General Muhammadu Buhari [now President] jailed him for being rich.
Anenih made the disclosure in his biography titled, ‘My Life and Nigerian Politics’ which was launched in Abuja on Saturday; PUNCH reports.
He said, “The military regime of General Buhari and Tunde Idiagbon threw me into detention for 18 months on the basis of an anonymous petition that as a prominent and wealthy politician and leader of the NPN in Bendel State, the military administrator would not find his footing unless I was removed from the scene.
“I was sent to Kirikiri Prisons where I spent three months before I was transferred to Ikoyi Prisons.”
“I must emphasise it again and again that I did nothing wrong to anyone, the government or the state to merit a detention. My crime was that I was a wealthy, influential and highly respected politician.”
