His Eminence, Sunday Mbang, the former Prelate of the Methodist Church has prayed that God should not allow Nigeria to continue to continue to suffer, adding that He would do what is best for the country.
A statement by the Obi-Datti Media team quoted Mbang as telling the Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, Akwa Ibom state, who visited his home in Uyo, that he believed that “if God wants a change in this country, you will be the one that God will choose.”
He further said, “Those of you who know me know that I’m not afraid to say what I believe in. This country has never been so bad. I think ever since I was born in Nigeria, this country, this time, has been the worst.
“I was watching Arise TV this morning. And they said within few years, this government has already brought many people into poverty but this 2022, about 5 million Nigerians have gone into poverty.
“Now, unfortunately, the administration is now taking the largest loan, I know when Obasanjo was president, he decided to wipe off all the loan. Now, we are indebted to the world, only God knows who will pay for it.
“So when I hear you are coming into politics, I don’t know whether God will choose you or not. But I strongly believe God has a reason for bringing you into politics. And I know that it is God’s wish that all these recycling of people we already know, God would not allow them.
“And then, I believe that if God wants the change in this country, you will be the one that God will choose. I’m not saying that I have ordained you to be but the God I worship and I worship him sincerely. I know that the God I worship would not allow Nigeria to continue to suffer, and I know he will do what is best for her.
“All this wayo they have done in the past. I’m telling you, I believe strongly that anybody who wants to wayo (deceive) Nigeria in the election, God will deal with him in a way and I say this in the name of the Father, and of the Son of the Holy Spirit.
“This country must get a free breath of fresh air and do what is right father What I’m telling you, if it is Peter Obi is the one you have chosen to change Nigeria. Let it be so, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
Responding, Obi told the cleric to continue to pray for Nigeria.
“I say to His Eminence, don’t keep quiet, if you do, it is no longer you. God didn’t make you to keep quiet. Things are not moving well in Nigeria,” he said.
