Former Prelate of the Methodist Church of Nigeria (MCN) Sunday Mbang has said no cultist would lead Akwa Ibom State in 2023. He vowed to lead a campaign against having a cultist as governor.
Mbang, after the COVID-19 exclusive prayer summit organised for National Assembly members from the state, said ‘diabolic’ politicians will never have a place in governance.
The cleric is a former Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
He said: “God will not allow any unclean politician, who is fetish, occultic and into cultism become governor, senator or win any position in the state.
“I warn those who seek political posts in 2023 to distance themselves from cultism and diabolism, or God will not allow them succeed.
“The Christian community will not allow any occultic person become governor; we will not even allow them become senators or win any political position.
“We want people who are clean to rule us so that our children will know that since their fathers are not there, they should not be there too.”
Mbang said the prayer summit was to dedicate the lawmakers to God against the ravaging Coronavirus pandemic.
Senator Bassey Akpan (Uyo), on behalf of the 10 lawmakers, praised God for sparing their lives while discharging their duties.
“We are highly favoured, we know what befell this country in the last 12 months, but in the next two months, all 10 of us will be celebrating our one year anniversary of God’s intervention.”
The Senator thanked clerics for their prayers, and appealed to all Akwa Ibomites to adhere to the non-pharmaceutical measures of COVID-19 to help flatten the curve.
Other federal lawmakers at the prayer summit were Rt. Hon. Onofiok Luke (Etinan); Senator Christopher Ekpenyong (Ikot Ekpene); Senator Akon Eyakenyi (Eket), and others.
