Tony anenih undergo an open heart surgery last month

Tony Anenih, chairman of the board of trustees

of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
underwent an open-heart surgery in an
unnamed UK hospital last month.
A member of the family, who confirmed the
development, said it was “only God” that saved
the life of the 82-year-old politician. The heart
condition was accidentally discovered, when the
former minister of works and housing was
preparing to return to Nigeria after a visit to the
UK. He was said to have complained of
“irregular heartbeat”, prompting a family
member to make an emergency call for an
ambulance. “The ambulance arrived within five
minutes and he was taken out on a stretcher,
with paramedics giving him oxygen support.
It was at the hospital that it was discovered
that he had some heart issues which he had not
experienced before,” the source said. Anenih
was immediately booked in for a surgery, which
was successful. He returned to Nigeria shortly
before Christmas but he is “looking pale”
Anenih marked his 82nd birthday on August 4,
2015.
