Obi congratulates new leadership of Churches in Nigeria

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has congratulated  new leaders of some Churches in Nigeria.

Obi emphasised that Churches, like other religious groups, have continued to play a very vital role in promoting peaceful coexistence in our multi-religious nation.

Churches, he noted, have continue to serve as the moral compass of the nation by spreading the gospel of love to all men and pricking our conscience, as leaders, to always do what is right.

He encouraged the newly elected church leaders to continue to lead the church in the fear of God while praying earnestly for our nation in distress.

Musa, as the new General Secretary.

“I also wish to congratulate the newly elected president of the Evangelical Church Winning All, ECWA, Rev. Job Bhagat, as he takes on the noble mantle of leadership in the church.

They continue to serve as the moral compass of the nation by spreading the gospel of love to all men and pricking our conscience, as leaders, to always do what is right.
