Prominent figures that attended the church service include former President Goodluck Jonathan, former Head of Interim National Government, Chief Ernest Shonekan, Chairperson of Chairperson of the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, Ellen Johnson – Sirleaf, Governor Ibikunle Amosun, Governor of Abia State, Victor Ikpeazu, Senator Godswill Akpabio, former Governor Gbenga Daniel, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi among others.
Mbang pointed out that Obasanjo succeeded as leader because he recognised the place of God in the affairs of man and accorded it to him through regular morning devotion in Aso Rock as well as getting some men of God to also join him to seek God’s favour on every of his decision and programme in government.
