Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has revealed the only Christian leader in Nigeria that he thinks will make heaven in Nigeria.
Obasanjo made this disclosure in Akwa Ibom State at the funeral service of Dr. Sunday Mbang, the late Prelate Emeritus of the Methodist Church of Nigeria.
According to the former President, the only Christian leader in Nigeria he is sure will make it to heaven is the late Prelate.
He said the late Prelate was not only forthright but also not a man of emotions.
Shortly after his release from prison amid pressure to become the President of Nigeria, one of the prominent Nigerians Obasanjo consulted across the country was the late Prelate Emeritus Mbang.
Obasanjo said the late Prelate Emeritus was a man who always sought his advice because of his forthrightness.
The former President added that when Governor Emmanuel Udom was at the helm of affairs in Akwa Ibom State and he wanted to seek Mbang’s opinion on any burning issue, he would visit Akwa Ibom State under the pretext of wanting to see the governor but would visit the late Prelate Emeritus.
Mbang was a former President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN, and the first black President of the World Methodist Council.
He died in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on Tuesday, May 16, 2023, at the age of 86.
