Arthur Eze Comes Under Fire Over Comment On Peter Obi’s Ambition
Anambra State-born billionaire businessman, Prince Arthur Eze has come under fire online following his comment on the presidential ambition of the Labour Party (LP) flagbearer, Peter Obi.
Naija News earlier reported that Eze dissociated himself from Obi’s ambition while speaking at the occasion of the 2022 Ofala festival of HRH Igwe (Dr.) Robert Eze, the traditional ruler of Ukpo in Dunukofia local government area of Anambra State.
The billionaire stated that he asked the Labour Party presidential candidate not to waste his money on the 2023 election because he would not win.
Eze also tipped Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State to become President of Igbo extraction, stating he already has a presidential candidate he is supporting for the 2023 Presidency.
However, Eze’s comments have generated several reactions online with supporters of the LP flagbearer disagreeing with the billionaire.
See some of the reactions below.
