Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said the late Prelate Emeritus of the Methodist Church of Nigeria, Dr Sunday Mbang, was the only Nigerian Christian leader that will make heaven.

According to Obasanjo, Dr Sunday Mbang was very upright and not emotional during his lifetime and he always consulted with the late cleric.

The former President said the late cleric was not only forthright, but also not emotional.

He stressed that the Prelate was one of the persons he consulted with shortly after he was released from prison when he was asked to come and contest for the office of the president.

Obasanjo, who was reminscing about his relationship with late CAN president during a funeral church service, recalled during his consultation with Mbang, he enormously gained from his advice.

He explained that the late Mbang was a man who always sought his counsel because of his forthrightness.

He stressed that at some point during the administration of former Governor Emmanuel Udom, he would visit the state under the guise of visiting the governor to seek the prelate counsel on burning issues.

Indeed, Mbang was the first black President of the World Methodist Council and the former Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) President.
