Igbo billionaire businessman, Prince Arthur Eze, has commended President Bola Tinubu for what he described as fairness in his recent appointments of ministers and heads of agencies.
Recall that there has been a series of agitations among power brokers and politicians over the recent appointments made by the President.
Some alleged lopsidedness in the appointments, while others said they were not carried along.
But speaking at the Holy Mass to mark the 65th birthday of Reverend Father Patrick Alumuku at St. Louis Catholic Church, EFAB Global Estate, Mbora, Abuja, Prince Eze said that President Tinubu’s recent appointments have shown that he is the ideal president for Nigeria.
He said the president has been fair in his appointments to the three major regions: the East, West, and North. He, therefore, called on Nigerians to support the president as he continues his transformational agenda.
Commenting on the celebrant, Prince Eze, while describing Father Alumuku as a good man, recalled that he met him through the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume.
The celebrant, Father Alumuku, while speaking with journalists, said this occasion was for him to thank God for his love and kindness, which he has shown in many ways in his 65th year.
“I realise that every day we live in God’s presence, and we need to thank him, especially at a moment like this.
We give thanks to God. I want to use this opportunity to say to everyone that every birthday is a major event in our lives and to thank God.
“Indeed, every day is important to thank, so we cannot live without God’s presence before us. We need to be consciously and continuously aware of God’s presence and be grateful to him for what he has done in our lives,” he said.
Also, the Vice Chairman, Parish Pastoral Council of the Church, Sir Vincent Ukaoma, in his address, described Father Alumuku as a man of many paths.
“We, the nuclear family of Father Patrick, would like him to live and enjoy this fast-approaching stage of his life gracefully. After labouring so much in God’s vineyard for more than forty years as a priest in Makurdi, in Vatican City, and now in Abuja, it will be fitting to slow down.
“We, the parishioners of St. Louis Pastoral Centre, consider ourselves so blessed to have Father Patrick as our first parish priest.
Within a period of three years, through his subtle pushing, our community has been positively transformed progressively, spiritually, and structurally,” he added.
