Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president, claimed that Sunday Mbang, a late prelate emeritus of the Methodist Church of Nigeria, was the only notable Nigerian Christian figure who would enter paradise.
He revealed this during the wake for Mbang in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
The event’s Special Guest of Honor was the previous president.
In his words, the “late Prelate was not only forthright but he was not a man of emotions.”
Mbang was reportedly one of the significant Nigerians Obasanjo consulted after his release from jail and push to run for president.
He acknowledged receiving invaluable counsel from the late bishop.
Obasanjo claimed that the late Prelate Emeritus was a man for whom he frequently sought guidance due to his candor.
