Recounting the meeting between Obi and Pentecostal bishops in Anambra State, His Grace, Archbishop Ebelechukwu narrated how he told Obi to his face that he was not fair to the Pentecostal fellowship as he was to Catholics and Anglicans in the state, especially in terms of personal relationship and collaboration with the Churches for the progress of the state.
The Archbishop said that to the greatest surprise of all the bishops, Obi acknowledged the truth of what he said and thanked him for that.
Continuing, he said, that Obi who promised to make amends,took the opportunity to call on the people to tell those in authority when they did wrong, while remarking that the reason was that the bishops were not very organized. "Since that day, he started treating us like others to the point of extending the donation of ambulances and other things to us, " Archbishop Ebelechukwu concluded.
Speaking at the event, Obi who presented a cheque to them to help them in equipping their school, confirmed what the Archbishop said, and argued that one of the qualities of human beings, including leaders was to acknowledge their mistakes and make amends. He urged the Bishops to continue telling those in power the truth for them to serve the people better.
Commenting on the problems facing governance in Nigeria, Obi called for the reduction in the cost of governance at all levels. "Those in authority run into trouble by spending money on frivolities that do not add to the progress of our society", Obi said.
