Oil tycoon, Prince Arthur Eze, has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for the infrastructural development in the South-East, particularly the second Niger Bridge, which has attained about 70 per cent completion and slated for commissioning before the end of 2022.

The businessman urged Nigerians to always preach peace as against hate, and draw lessons from countries suffering the effect of war.

He pledged loyalty and commitment to the unity, peace and indivisibility of Nigeria, urging Buhari to stay focused and not be distracted by agitations for separatism rocking some parts of the country.
In his words, “There are countless Igbos scattered around the nooks and crannies of Nigeria, who live happily in peace, and do their legitimate businesses without complaint of marginalization. No matter what, let’s tolerate one another and always embrace the spirit of peace, forgiveness and reconciliation. God that brought us together has not made a mistake. I have no other country than Nigeria, let’s join hands and solve our problems ourselves.”
He also commended the President on the successes recorded in the North-East where Boko Haram fighters are surrendering in droves, urging more efforts in the North-West against bandits and other criminals.
Prince Eze counseled the government to give more opportunities to local outfits like the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Corporation, to print election ballot papers, sensitive security documents, certificates, local, state and Federal Government revenue, and treasury receipts, passports, and others, since it had thee capacity to do so.
Buhari thanked Prince Eze for visiting and for his good wishes for the country and government at all times.
