Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has expressed sadness over the passing of its former President, His Eminence, Sunday Mbang, saying he played a crucial role as the pioneer co-Chair of the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council (NIREC).
In a statement, yesterday, in Abuja, the CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, described the late Emeritus Prelate of the Methodist Church Nigeria as a great leader and a unifying force in the Nigerian Christian community, whose contributions to the growth and development of the Church in Nigeria will always be remembered.
He said: “Mbang was one of the most forthright and courageous faith leaders of our time, who meant well for his country, Nigeria; thus, he dedicated his life to the service of God and humanity. His commitment to the gospel of Christ and his unwavering dedication to the unity of all Nigerians, irrespective of our diverse reality as a people, will always be remembered as a shining example to follow.”
“Mbang will be greatly missed, but his life and legacy which we celebrate will continue to inspire us to work for the peace and unity of our nation and the world at large,” he added.
