Anambra Threatens Probe As Arthur Eze Calls Obiano ‘Small Fry’

Anambra oil magnate, Prince Arthur Eze, has vowed not to stop insisting that the state Governor, Willie Obiano, does the right thing.

Eze spoke at his Ukpo home in the Dunikofia Local Government Area of Anambra State, on Sunday.

He said “I’m not afraid of anybody. I have installed three African presidents. One of them gave me oil blocks in his country. I have assisted in enthroning many governors in Nigeria.

“I have given a governorship candidate N10bn to assist him prosecute his election. I didn’t know the candidate from Adam. He just approached me and told me about himself and his people; I empthatised with him and gave him the money.

“Obiano is just a small fry. Even this Obiano, I have given him financial assistance as a person and as a governor several times. I have no personal problems with him. My grouse with him is that he is not doing the right things as a governor.

“Many people are suffering under his government. He is not paying the traditional rulers in the state their five per cent entitlement from the Local Government allocation.”

The oil mogul’s rift with the governor had led to the suspension of 13 traditional rulers suspected to be Eze’s loyalists.

In response, the Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, C-Don Adinuba, said officials of the state government had decided to maintain “dignified silence” on comments by Eze

He said “I’m not afraid of anybody. I have installed three African presidents. One of them gave me oil blocks in his country. I have assisted in enthroning many governors in Nigeria.

Though he is rolling out his achievements and priding himself, his musings are still the truth. His billions of donations to Umahi is reason why he has a brand new flyover named after him in the state.

It's sad that Arthur is accusing Obiano of bad governance only on the basis of not paying traditional rulers, when Anambra hasn't benefited a borehole water from his billions.

And for some who installs presidents and governors, it must shameful for him not install back the suspended EZEs who further compounded his mockery by going to beg the man who weilds true power.

Arthur Eze should just accept that his influence in Anambra starts in Ukpo and ends in at the piece of land he is trying to grab at Chimamanda's Ezinifite

Arthur Eze is an illiterate who became rich by bending over for northerners to screw him as they wished. That's why I don't like the idea of illiterates gaining wealth and power. They often misuse it. This Arthur Eze doesn't have any influence in Anambra state, trust me. He has sponsored a fellow illiterate Tony Nwoye twice for governor and twice he failed, not just failed but lost his own local government area to Obiano on both occasions by big margins. His younger brother ran for house of Representatives in PDP and lost to Obiano's candidate in APGA. So you can understand the cause of his frustration at the governor. He is disturbed and worried that similar fate awaits him and his stooge again next year when Anambra state votes Obiano's successor.

Arthur Eze is an American trained Engineer. Tell us the school you went to. Always quick to call people illiterate without knowing the meaning

AsomughaChuks05:
American trained engineer who can't speak a single correct sentence in English. They must have taught him in Igbo. Buying a degree doesn't make one educated.

Arthur Eze should understand that Anambra is not Lagos or Edo.

Anambra is something else. In spite of all his money, and in spite of the fact that he's seemingly speaking in favour of the Anambra traditional rulers, he only managed to get just a few of them on his side, and I am sure a number of them are even turning away from him.

Even if Arthur wants, he can install Trump and the UK prime minister. That will not move Anambrarians into kissing his ass. That is the sort of politics he can play in Lagos. He wants to be the JAGABANdit of Anambra. Iyasikwa

OBJ tried to put Anambra in his pocket, and Anambra immediately went for his d!ck. Chris Ubah tried his bit in collusion with OBJ and still failed.
Buhari took a look into Anambra in 2017, saw the impossibility of pocketing Anambra, and rather fought to secure second place for APC. He was very happy with that result. Anambra is a no-go area for moneybags and dictators.

Thanks to Ikemba Nnewi who helped to massively fortify Anambra before he left to be with the Lord. Ikemba's efforts is the reason why Anambra will always be likely to elect the leaders that the people want. In 2021, people like Soludo and Maduka, will be the hot cakes for the gubernatorial seat. And there is nothing moneybags like Arthur Eze will be able to do about it. He can double what he gave Tony Nwoye the last time. It will make no atom of difference. He can relocate to Lagos if he wants.
