How Obiano received Prince Engr Arthur Eze , the Anambra Billionaire business man

Governor Willie Obaino of Anambra State has attributed the success of the state in the war against crime to support he gets from wealthy Anambra people.

The support, he said, has helped to stabilise the state, making it possible for him to record massive achievements in the past one year.

Obiano, who spoke in Awka when he received billionaire business mogul, Prince Arthur Eze, noted that but for the enormous support his administration had enjoyed from many illustrious citizens of the state, it would have been an uphill task to expand the frontiers of development with so much result in such a short time.

He particularly acknowledged “Prince Eze whose donation of $1million to the Anambra State Security Fund last year marked the turning point in the all-out fight against criminals in the state.

“We are lucky to have been enjoying the support of Prince Arthur Eze. I recall that the $1 million that he donated to our security fundraising marked a watershed in our efforts to create a safe and secure Anambra State. He also stood firmly behind me when we marked the formal burial of our brothers and sisters who died in the Civil War and other conflicts that have plagued Nigeria since its creation.”

We are grateful to him for that gesture and his continued support to my administration,” Governor Obiano stated.

Obiano also dismissed a story on social media which alleged that he made some disparaging remarks about Prince Eze and Chief Chris Ubah, describing it as the effort of some elements who are frustrated that Anambra has shaken off the old days of needless war drums.

He further stated that beside his huge donation to the security efforts of the state, Prince Eze has continued to identify with APGA-led government in Anambra State even when he is a major financier of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).

Describing Eze as a true son of Igboland whose philanthropic gesture knows no bound, the governor cited the empowerment of widows of the South-East zone, and his active participation in the Ozoemezina Remembrance Day of Igbo victims of War World, Biafra War and other conflicts in the country as some of the things that stand Prince Eze apart.

Governor Obiano also explained that he was deeply touched by the overwhelming support of Ndi Anambra which came to the fore during the first Stakeholders Summit held at Governor’s Lodge in Amawbia, saying that it re-enforced his belief that a strong and united Anambra would facilitate the realization of the Mission and Vision of his administration for Ndi Anambra.

The governor recalled that the massive investment inflow into the state which stemmed from the fact that Anambra had become secure to investors following the huge support that his efforts to combat crime received from Ndi Anambra.
