Nigeria Ministerial Slots, Unity, and Hope” - Arthur Eze Explains Why Tinubu Deserves Respect

Business mogul Prince Arthur Eze has lauded President Bola Tinubu as a divine gift to Nigeria, citing his appointments and developmental gestures toward the South-East. But Nigerians online were far from impressed.

• In a documentary marking Tinubu's second year in office, Eze described the President as humble, honest, and God-ordained.
• He noted the appointment of Ministers of Works and Science & Technology from the Southeast as proof of Tinubu’s inclusivity.
• “What Tinubu has done for the South-East, nobody else has,” Eze claimed.
• He praised Tinubu's “Renewed Hope Agenda,” urging national support for his leadership.
• Social media users, however, rejected the praise, questioning the lack of visible infrastructure like railways, seaports, or international airports in the region.

Arthur Eze’s praise of Tinubu appears to stem from elite-level appreciation of political appointments, but public sentiment online paints a different picture. Critics argue that symbolic gestures like ministerial slots don’t equate to tangible development. With Southeast infrastructure still lagging, Eze’s glowing review feels out of touch for many.

While Prince Arthur Eze sees Tinubu’s presidency as a blessing for national unity and regional progress, many Nigerians remain unconvinced. His comments may bolster elite support but risk alienating everyday citizens who see little change on the ground.
