Yesterday 11th September, APGA sent a delegation led by Igwe APGA, Chief Ben Obi popularly known as Mbuze Agulu to go and beg Prince Engr Arthur Eze to forgive the Leader of the party and to continue to fund the party’s activities.
The delegation met with the Ukpo billionaire and AIF Media source at the meeting told This Forum that the Oil Magnate welcomed them and had fruitful discussion with them.
To score the importance of Arthur Eze in the scheme of things, the APGA delegation travelled to Abuja with their party regalia to beg the billionaire.
At the meeting, Arthur Eze played 3 videos to the delegation.
The first video was where Prince Engr Arthur Eze gave out queues worth millions of naira to gov Obiano to support his security fund raising.
The second video was in a church where in 2014, after the inauguration of gov Obiano, Chief Victor Umeh led a delegation to Arthur Eze to thank him for his benevolence to the party. In that video, Umeh who came with Obiano told the audience how Arthur Eze founded APGA. Umeh stated clearly that it was the Ukpo billionaire who sponsored the registration of APGA in 2002.
The third video was also in a church where gov Obiano was seen eulogizing the great philanthropist and telling his audience that Prince Engr Arthur Eze had spent over 250 million naira in the Cafe Foundation founded by his wife, Osodieme.
After the APGA delegation viewed the videos, they were sober. They pleaded with the Oli Magnate to forgive and forget. The leader of the delegation, Mbuze Agulu collaborated the story of Arthur Eze and asked for truce.
In his response, the Ukpo Prince said he had forgiven. He told the APGA delegation that he is not a politician and has no any political ambition. He said he is like a father to may and had used his wealth to assist the present administration. He wondered why Agu Awka chose the path of fighting him at a time every hand ought to be on deck to bring development to the state.
At the end, the APGA leaders thanked him for his fatherly role in both the party and the state, and pleaded with him not to abandon them at this time.
