Prince Arthur Eze Sets To Expose Senator Ngige If…

Ngige’s call for banishment of Arthur Eze and 12 monarchs…The echo of an ant  in human  flesh 

The attention of the media directorate to the foremost philanthropist, industrialist business mogul and oil merchant prince Engr Arthur Eze has been drawn to a call by one Dr Chris Nwabueze Ngigie of Alor town, who by accident of history is today the minister for labour, employment and productivity.   

We would have treated his ranting as the ranting of an ant who by all social and political equation is an inconsequential product of history.   

We are however tempted to add a voice in view of his undeserved portfolio as a minister in a government that has been acclaimed as the best in Nigeria’s history under the able leadership of our  most beloved President Muhammadu Buhari.

One would have thought that anybody ocuppying such a respectable office like Nwabueze Ngige should be a person with sound mind,  articlate, well educated and with broad knowledge of contemporary issues in the country’s orbit of partisan politics. 

One wonders how a minister and a former governor can wake up from slumber over night and start calling on a state governor to banish traditional rulers whose only offence is  that they took a trip to Abuja to commend his boss, the president, for the magnificent jobs he is doing for the people of their geo- political  zone.   

Dr Ngige as a minister did not take time to study the underground colourations given to the trip for political reasons by the state govt.   

Accepted is the fact that he has been involved in serious traditional leadership crisis in his community over the Igweship but this should not becloud his sense of judgement to make calls that has no legal or constitutional backing.   

As a minister Dr Ngige ought to know that no section of the Nigerian constitution empowers a state governor to banish or trample on the fundamental human right of any Nigerian citizen as enshrined in the Nigerian constitution.   

Any governor that attempts to heed to Dr Ngige’s call certainly should be taking an action that is against the letters and spirit of the Nigerian constitution.   

It is now clear that the compulsory etiquettes induction course usually organised for appointed ministers was initiated for appointees that fall within the rugged class of Dr Ngige.   

For Dr Ngige to call for the banishment of a man of Prince Engr Arthur Eze’s statue not only in Nigeria but the entire world is, to say the least, most irresponsible, callous, derogatory and unbecoming of an accidental minister.   

It should be recalled that if not for Arthur Eze’s benevolence Dr Ngige would not have been able to pack out of his former two bed room slump appointment Festac village some years ago to a decent apartment in Lagos.  Mention must also be made of how Arthur Eze helped to change his Volkswagen car which he uses in Enugu and is today resident for rats and cockroaches Igoui rd, Enugu.   

Let us warn that if Chris Ngige makes any further unpleasant statement against our principal we shall be left with no option than to publish some facts and materials at our disposal which will shock Nigerians on the person and individual known as the labour minister.

Arthur eze’s personality is a profile of world recognition on grounds of philanthropy, industrialization, business acumen, economic vibrancy, and political sagacity.
