Multi-Billionaire businessman, Arthur Eze has dismissed the controversy trailing the presidential pardon granted former governor of Bayelsa state, Dipreye Alamieyeseigha and others saying it was God that directed president Jonathan to grant the pardon.Speaking with state House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Chief Eze said criticisms against the pardon was misplaced.
“What Jonathan did is what a man who fears God will do. If I have an opportunity as president of Nigeria I will do the same. All of us are human beings. What he did was correct. We are not fighting war. Jonathan took advice from God. God has told him to show mercy. The bible says blessed are those that are merciful for they shall see God” he said.
He said the American government has no right to dictate to Nigeria because Nigeria is an independent nation.
Speaking on his donation of over N1billion to a church in the president’s Village, Chief Arthur Eze said those criticising him over the donation are criticising God.
“God gave me the money to contribute to the church. The money is not meant for Jonathan to put in his pocket. We are thinking of thanking God for what he has done for Otuoke. It was abandoned for many years.
They had no water, no electricity until when God brought Jonathan to change that place. Let the people have a place to worship God. Those criticizing me are confused people” he said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteEze na ukpo, I salute you. You have been a philanthropist since I could remember and a lot of people who know you can testify to that. I have nothing against you even if you if donate 10 billion to a church project. However, with all due respect, I disagree with you that God told GEJ to grant Alameeiyeseigha pardon for whatever reasons.
ReplyDeleteEze na ukpo Sir, why did God not tell him to grant pardon to so many pick-pockets that have been in prisons for stealing N200.00 or those 18 mobile police men a one time thieving Inspector General sacked from work for N20.00 (twenty Naira ) bribe? In your words sir, that is 'nonshenshe" (nonsense).
To many of us especially from the East, you are an Idol, don't allow yourself to dragged into their conscienceless politics.
how do you got the money? how do your money provide employment to people like Dangote. fool supporting fool. After 2015 when GEJ would be out of ASO ROCK, Kindly do same to Otuoke people to prove you have faith.
ReplyDeleteGod directed GEJ, hmmm, wonders will never end in our dear country. Please don't use the name of the Lord in vain because of petty gains. if fearing God now translate to mercy of those that have wronged a nation in whatever capacity, then why keep the helpless in jail? Mr Eze, fear God
ReplyDeleteI have observed a new trend of interviewing fools in Nigeria. Journalists should please desist from irritating Nigerians. Please!
ReplyDeleteWhich god is dt? Maybe god of Bayelsa.
ReplyDeleteBirds of the same feather.
ReplyDeleteMoney is the root of all evil they say. Thou shall not call the name of the lord in vain.
ReplyDeleteSince its about being merciful, let GEJ free everybody in prison as he is very merciful. Close down the court houses and pardon any and every criminal for blessed are those that are merciful...
ReplyDeleteThough shall not call the Name of the Lord in Vain, wot simms hidden in d face of man is known to our God almighty.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a STUPID STATEMENT! GEJ is SICK and should leave his seat to be treated!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why Mr President didn't grand pardon to all prisoners in Kirikiri Prison, and various detention facilities. In ds country, only politicians are above the law. No matter how big their crime.
ReplyDeleteAbeg, ds country stinks with corruption. I don tire.
God should also instruct him to open the doors of Nigeria prisons and let out all d prisoners, cos it mercy time. terrible people
ReplyDeletedid GEJ tell u that God gave him such an instruction Sir Eze? funny how ppl sell their sense of reasonableness to becomes fools when they are close to the sit of power. to such one bad becomes Good and Good bad. primary school pikin no go talk this kind tin. what is d difference between this man and "My Oga on at the top"
ReplyDeleteWOE UNTO THEM THAT SAY GOD SAID WHEN HE DID NOT SAY ANY THING.
ReplyDeleteGoodluck Jonathan is so ungodly that God will not tell him to do anything.
