Multi-Billionaire businessman, Arthur Eze has dismissed the controversy trailing the presidential pardon granted former governor of Bayelsa state, Dipreye Alamaseigha 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.

Arthur Eze you think your money gives you the right to mock the almighty God and use His name in vain? I tell you sir, your iniquity will not go unpunished. Indeed the day of your reckoning is near, when you will weep ceaselessly in hell. You and your money and that of your corrupt kind you are defending belong to the worms. God is not a respecter of persons and will not forget our cries and what you people have done to us. In Him only do we seek refuge.

God indeed is a merciful God. He forgives irrespective of the magnitude of sins committed. What GEJ did needs to be applauded but I hope he doesn't have any ulterior motive. And I still think this is not the best time for such a pardon. GEJ should learn how to do things at the proper time. He needs people like me to help him think...lol!

My Chief Prince Arthur Eze is right to what he said because we all are human no matter what. I know that he must be a good christian for him to know that The bible says blessed are those that are merciful for they shall see God” he said . Chief Eze, your donation of N1billion to a church is form your heart and God will reward you.
