In Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, during the funeral service for the late Dr. Sunday Mbang, Prelate Emeritus of the Methodist Church of Nigeria, Obasanjo made this comment.
Obasanjo claimed that the late Prelate is the only Nigerian Christian leader of whom he is certain would enter heaven.
The late Prelate, according to Obasanjo, was not only direct but also emotionless.The late Prelate Emeritus Mbang was one of the well-known Nigerians Obasanjo consulted across the nation shortly after his release from prison under pressure to take office as President of Nigeria.
Obasanjo claimed that the late Prelate Emeritus was a man for whom he frequently sought guidance due to his candor.
The former president continued by saying that when Governor Emmanuel Udom was in charge of things in Akwa Ibom State and he needed Mbang’s advice on any pressing matter, he would travel to the state under the guise of wanting to see the governor but actually visit the late Prelate Emeritus.
Mbang served as the first black president of the World Methodist Council and as the former president of the Christian Association of Nigeria, or CAN.
