On Thursday, May 29, billionaire oil magnate Arthur Eze revealed that President Bola Tinubu has already given his endorsement for Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah to run for a second term in office.
Eze made the announcement during an event marking the second anniversary of Governor Mbah’s administration, praising the governor’s achievements and financial discipline.
“God is a wonderful God. He brought Peter Mbah to change Igboland. Let me tell you, Tinubu has already endorsed him for second term. Tinubu endorsed him for second term because he has character. He is very honest, nobody will stop him,” Eze declared.
The businessman, who heads Atlas Oranto Petroleum, commended Mbah’s ability to transform the state without incurring debts from financial institutions, calling it proof of sound leadership and vision.
Eze’s statement adds significant political weight just days after a State House documentary was released in celebration of President Tinubu’s second year in office, in which Eze also heaped praise on the president.
In the documentary, Eze described Tinubu as “God’s gift to Nigeria,” adding, “Tinubu has no enemies. He is a unifier. He speaks with humility and honesty.”
He further emphasized Tinubu’s inclusive leadership style: “He is not a man of division—whether Christian or Muslim, he respects all. What Tinubu has done for the South-East, nobody else has. He gave us the Minister of Works, the Minister of Science and Technology, and the South-East Development Commission. This is an opportunity for the Igbo to unite with the rest of Nigeria.”
