The former Prelate, Methodist Church Nigeria, His Eminence Dr. Sunday Mbang, has said former President Olusegun Obasanjo is the best president Nigeria has ever had.
Mbang said this on Sunday while preaching at the former President’s 80th birthday thanksgiving service held at the Chapel of Christ The Glorious King, located inside the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library complex.
Speaking on the theme, ‘Quality of gratitude to God’, the cleric who said he had no apologies for his opinion, said Obasanjo established endearing institutions, which no other administration has been able are replicate.
He mentioned such institutions to include the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control.
He said, “This is a man I have known for a very long time. I fell in love with him when I discovered that he held morning devotion every morning in Aso Rock when he became the civilian President.
“The morning devotion was attended by his family members and other people. That was why he succeeded in government. God never allowed them to impeach him.
“Obasanjo is the best President Nigeria has ever had. I have no apology to anybody about it. He also built a chapel inside Aso Rock within three months after getting there.”
Mbang urged politicians to stop stashing money abroad but should embark on projects that could help develop their immediate communities, as Obasanjo had done with the establishment of the presidential library.
Speaking further, he berated politicians who defected from one political party to the other, describing them as inconsistent and lacking principle, asking the congregation to say ‘shame on you’ to them.
