Chief Anthony Enahoro’s first son is dead

The first son of late elder statesman, Chief Anthony Enahoro, Mr.  Kenneth Enahoro, aged 63, is dead.

At the family residence, 10 Aideyan Street, the immediate younger brother to the deceased, Mr. Eugene Enahoro said his elder brother died on Sunday.  “When a man passes on, you do not suspect any foul play. You do not begin to talk about whether he was sick or not but as long he is aged, God has called him. He survived long enough to bury his own father and he survived by two children.

“The matter on ground now is his children. He has basically retired having buried his father but he was engaged in politics behind the scene. I personally I am not a politician so I am not too much into that. His political friends will do that.

“But it is unfortunate for the family because since the beginning of this year, this has been the third lost we had in the family.

“It is only God that knows how long we are going to live on this earth but I will say that he was my very good friend and he lived a very good and fruitful life. Because the important thing in life are those whom you leave behind.

” For those of you who are younger it shows the important of getting your life together very quickly because in our culture, what we pray for is that it is not strangers that bury us. So he has a family and he has children. I am younger than him. So, obviously it rest upon me now to take charge of his affairs”, he said.

“He was 63 years old, one year senior to me but he has grown up children but unfortunately both children are graduates. The only one regret it would be like unlike me that has seen my grand children, he was looking forward to see his grand child because his daughter is due to get married this year. That is a bit unfortunate but again, we believe in reincarnation so maybe when his daughter gets married and the child comes, my brother back again with us” he said.

A condolence register has been opened at his family’s residence at 10 Adeyan Street, Benin City.
